Here are some friendly reminders for savings big;
Office Depot: Recycle your (or your neighbors or co-workers) toner and ink cartridges each month to the tune of $2.00 each – up to 20 total and you’ll get Work Life Rewards (FREE loyalty program at Office Depot) with Office Depot (Office Depot $Money). At certain time during the year (infrequently) they’ll run a promotion where you will get $5.00 back per toner/ink cartridge up to 20 total.
Remember that Office Depot will accept competitors coupons from Staples!!! So, be sure to sign up for the Staples Rewards program too (FREE).
Walmart:Will price match!!! What does that mean…. It means if you are stopping by Walmart and don’t have time to do much shopping, all you need to do is bring in the entire sale circular from another store, show it to the cashier at check out (before they scan your item) and request a price match. They will then sell the exact item to you at the other stores sale price!. A couple exceptions… No buy 1 get 1 FREE items can be price matched. But, for example, last week at Target (it could have been Safeway or anywhere however) the movie Eat, Pray, Love was on sale $9.00. You could have requested a price match right at the register in your local Walmart and received the $9.00 price! If you don’t have time to go from store to store its a nice quick, easy and convenient option.
Rewards and Loyalty Programs: Sign up everyone in your home and use a separate e-mail address. You won’t want to bog down your personal e-mail and this way if you have a specific e-mail that you just use for bargain hunting, e-new letters, coupons and loyalty programs you won’t have to scroll past personal e-mails etc etc. You’ll just check your bargain e-mail when you are ready to shop that week or go out to eat and need a coupon etc. See my Top 12 Tips for Couponing or any of the other tips in the footer of this blog.
If you still aren’t saving big and want to know what else you need to do, consider a couponing seminar. I only charge $12.00 for a highly informative seminar and I waive the fee for any family who truly is unable to pay the$12.00! I’m willing to travel to your town too – you just gather the people. My next events are at the Queen Anne’s County Arts Coucil Sat April 2nd – they are handling payments and registration for this event and it is not directly through me. This is in Queen Anne’s County Maryland 21617. The next one thereafter is Morgantown West Virginia on Saturday, April 16th. Morgantown is about 1 hour outside of Pittsburgh. The seminars are well worth a drive to learn how to save, how the registers are programmed and where to shop….
Have fun and keep couponing….. It really can change your life!
