Coupon Sense on Midday Az. From saving money to getting out of debt.
Coupons can help you buy more than you think. All of this, just take a look. Believe it
or not all of these groceries here cost half of what they normally would from the store.
Darla Trendler from CouponSense.com is here and she is going to show us how we can shop
smart and save big all year long.
Good to see you.
Thanks for having us we're glad to be here.
Well a lot of people they start off the new year, a lot of people have new years resolutions
say, "I want to get out of debt." and you say, "coupons help you do that."
Definitely, so if you can cut that in half, what can you do with that money? You can pay
off debt, that's almost $400 a month that you can spend towards debt or whatever, and
if you think about your budget you have all these things that are pretty set, you have
to pay a certain amount for utilities or child care or your car payment.
But groceries is 100% up to you. You're in control you're in the driver's seat
so if you want to save you totally can.
You just have to teach us how to do it.
Well, CouponSense.com can help you.
OK so we're going to talk about that in just a second, lets first start off with this month
and next month is such a good time to start this, cuz first of all, because of the Super
Bowl.
Yes, the Super Bowl, this is the second largest food holiday of the year, next to Thanksgiving.
In the next couple of weeks you're going to see lots of items like these like chips, and
sodas, snack items, salsa, things like that are going to be on sale. And so you want to
stock up. There's going to be coupons coming out for them and the great thing about this
is okay, if you're hosting a superbowl party you have all the things you need , but these
things are applicable for other things in your life. Like if you need to buy things
for your kids school lunches, a lot of these things can go in a school lunch. If you're
hosting a shower, you can stock up on these things.
Or if you have to take something to somebody's house. For a party or get together or something
like that. And January is a good month too? Why is January a good month?
January is a really good month. The manufacturers, it's kind of like the mother load of coupons
come out. In fact this Sunday we're going to see in the paper 5 inserts with over $600
of coupons.
Okay but this is my problem, okay Darla, I cut em out and I put them in like a folder,
and that's it. I don't use them, forget to use them. So what do we need to do? How can
we learn how to use them and really save up to $400 a month?
Well with couponsense.com we do all the hardwork for you, so we're matching up what's on sale,
we tell you what's on sale, we tell you what coupon to use, you can clip the coupon, we've
got a mobile app that you can use, you can have your list with you. Make your list and
then you can pull it up on your mobile app grab your coupons. And if you forget to buy
milk on your way home and you wonder where milk's the cheapest you can look it up in
the and run into the store and get it because you have your coupon with you.
Do you have to go to several places, like I know you were telling me that this right
here, this section, you got for less or basically half.
You don't have to go to multiple stores, do what works for you. Some people can, they
can go to the three stores a week. Some people just, I personally just pick one store a week.
I can look at coupon sense and see who has the best deals for my family this week. and
I can go there. I can see where meat is the cheapest. So even things without coupons,
I've got all these produce items over here you're going to know where's the cheapest
place to buy bananas this week, where am I going to get broccoli from for a good deal.
So you're using that app, and your tying it into the coupons. You're telling us which
coupons to use. What should we stock up on right now?
Well January is a good time to stock up on things like oatmeal.
Why oatmeal?
For some reason January is national oatmeal month, so in the next few weeks we're going
to see lots of oatmeal.
So coupons and sales. You match those up and see. What are we going to pay for this?
This is regular retail for $3.99, you're going to probably see it for $1.99, $1.49. The key
is you've got to wait for a sale and then use your coupons. It doesn't do any good to
use your coupon unless you wait for the sale. Other items like I have up here, vitamins,
things that are going to get us healthy, diet foods. All that resolution to get in shape.
So all those things are going to be on sale this month.
And you have a special right now this month. So if you're out there and you're like I need
to learn more, I want to learn how to do this.
