I read a fantastic post over TheKrazyCouponLady on Making Couponing Work despite bumps in the road. I know a lot of you had the same frustration at Harris Teeter Super Doubles as the shelves cleared out fast for some items. Take a breath and read THIS insightful post.
Here at TheKrazyCouponLady.com, we talk a lot about empowering women and strutting confidently down store aisles. Sometimes we get discouraged when we hear a lot of complaining from other coupon ladies, whom we adore! We care about all your opinions and we want you to be able to share openly with your fellow shoppers, but we wanted to take a moment to share our opinion regarding many of the common complaints we get including, “My store is always out of stock” or “Other coupon ladies are abusing the system and ruining it for me”.

My tips for shopping double and triple sales (fashionably late):
1. Check out blogs for a list of matchups to use as a guide. Get your list and coupons ready b/4 heading to the store
2. Shop early if possible. You know the phase “the early bird gets the worm?” Well, the early shopper gets the deals. I know it’s not always possible but do what you can.
3. Purchase FREE items first. Head to the aisles where you know you will get the free products first. Those go the fastest.
4. Purchase items with the lowest quantities first. Sure for Men was FREE this week at HT and it went FAST! Not only was the item free but there were probably only 15-20 in the store.
5. Move up the price and quantity point from there. Lance crackers were also free but there was a shelf full to choose from.
6. Be respectful of other shoppers and either limit your quantities in each store or special order. We all have a common goal-saving our family money!
7. Relax and have fun!
