Grocery Shop: WEEK 03/21-03/27

Grocery Shop: WEEK 03/21-03/27

o    The Grocery stores are really BIG about their Mega events… It’s either you have to buy 10 items to get the best deal or pay regular price… For those who are starting out on couponing, this kind of matchup may be confusing (or not)… So what should you do?

Do it anyways… Try the deals and see if you’re understanding the lingo.

That’s how I learned and that’s how most other couponers learned.

As the moto goes, “Learn from your mistakes.” If, after trying, you’re still not satisfied, just do what I did… Return the items… The coupons won’t be returned to you, but since most of the grocery stores honor coupons like cash, you’ll get the full value (maybe more) in return.

Of course, I discourage returning items (especially after using coupons) to MAKE money… Use your personal integrity, ethics, and moral… All coupon users should respect the “Coupon Etiquette.” It only takes one person to mess it up for everyone else. Thank you!

***Military Families

Note: According to the Army Times, some Naval Commissaries may be closed in your area.

If you’re heading to a Navy commissary in the continental U.S. March 22 through March 24, check online first to see if it is closed as the result of a Navy anti-terrorism exercise.

“Solid Curtain-Citadel Shield 2012” will affect the operating hours of all 44 commissaries on Navy bases in the continental U.S., officials said.

To see if your store is affected, find it online, open its page, and click “local store information.” Check the site often, officials said, as the hours of operation may change during the exercise.


Happy Shopping!
