Do you make the most of your shopping?

Good morning, minx....(sorry I haven't looked at your profile) but I live in Canada, and very, very seldom are these programs made available to us! I belong to two American sites, and they always have wonderful offers, even including huge savings coupons for Walmart...and many brand names...BUT, ALAS NOT redeemable here! A lot of the redeemable coupons in Magazines, etc., also say "good in continental USA only." So one has to be much more creative in their frugality here! Happy Sunday.....and Cheers!

Hi Minx,
I make the most of my shopping dollars by shoppping outlet malls and discount stores. Sometimes you can find good deals on mayjor name brands. I also use coupons if I have them. Another way I've found is to take advantage of the clearence racks. I dont always find what I'm looking for but, when I do I save huge.

I'm not familiar with BigCrumbs, so I am going to have to check that out. As far as making my dollar stretch further, I've been doing that for quite some time. I try to buy everything that I need either on sale or in bulk as it makes the dollar go further. I scan all of the online coupon sources for coupons on things that are already on my shopping list. I don't add to my shopping list on account of coupons, but I will certainly print a coupon for something that I need. I am always looking for a sale on the other things that I need too, in addition to food. It is very rare for me to pay full price for anything.

I very rarely do any of my shopping on-line, but I do go on-line to print coupons at times. At one time, I printed and clipped coupoons on a regular basis. I prefer to do my shopping in a store rather than on-line because I like to actually see what I am buying, physically, before I buy it.

for some reason many people think every thing is different when they start an online shopping sites as a business. this wrong.the internet is just an addition sales channe-albeit a very powerful one.so accepting money from customers via shopping cart is not all that different from accepting money from a customer on the telephone.in fact it can be much easier and safer,if you know what to do .good ecommerce software such as shop factory makes it easy to accept payments in many ways in yours online stores

When I shop, I definitely try to make my dollar stretch as far as possible, and many of the websites and stores I shop at offer cash back or special discounts to loyal customers. Also, I'm enrolled in a program that puts a certain percentage of my online purchases from participating vendors toward paying my school loans, so before I start shopping, I check to see if the store is in this program. For example, because I can't find a lot of the natural products that I like around here, I shop at Drugstore.com often, which is in the program, and they offer and accept online coupons and give you store dollars toward your next purchase. Before I check out, I always search online for coupon codes that I can use, which can save me a lot of money - $10 off plus free shipping on my most recent order!:)

Before I grocery shop, I get online and load coupons on my customer loyalty card. I usually forget what coupons I have, but that way I only end up using the coupons I really need. I do check sales fliers and take advantage of sales; love to stock up and buy in bulk. My grocery store also prints with their receipts coupons that are based on your purchases, so I usually have some of these to use. Finally, for gas and groceries, I pay with a credit card that gives 5% cashback on gas, 2% on groceries, and 1% on everything else. Then I pay it off every month.

here where i live in canada there are quite a few programs that you can join in a number of stores. the drug store offers points, the gas station, the big box store and another store gives you paper money to use against your next purchase.

I am very shopping wise I was asked once to teach a class on how I get so much free. But I did not take that offer for personal reasons but I was always getting stuff for nothing and saving lots when I did it more then I currently am doing it. I would get a minimum of 10.00 free all the time. I take coupons and then look for a sale on at one of the local stores and then go buy there even buying in quanity. An example of this is Vo5 shampoo on sale for 69 cents have coupons go buy 10 and if they double coupons then some comes off your other merchandise which helps even more. Usually it is a 50 cent coupon or a dollar which normally they do not double but once in while they have a special where they do. Also buying in bigger amounts help you save for the next sale. Now days sale are fewer and farther apart so stocking up is better then back then. Try some of these tips and save even more.

Yes, I make the most of my shopping. Quite frankly, I won't buy something unless I really really need it. I'm not a kinda person who buys everything because gets interested at the very first sight. I would probably think before deciding which one to buy, or in other words, which one that I should spend my money on. I barely even use coupons, or even deals. I would be very grateful if there are any, but I just simply pay the 100% amount, and use it very carefully.=)

Well, as i am from China, i don't think the website or the place you mentioned above will suit me, that's why i did not look at your profile. But i think that is a very good idea that you can share this with people who arounds you, because in the bad economic today, saving the money is just like earning the moeny. Thanks for sharing!
