Save With Coupons
This book will pay for itself the first day you
start using it..., November 25, 2009
I recently saved $35 at my local grocery store after my husband
convinced me to go online to find printable coupons. Within an
hour I had found all the coupons I needed for our next grocery
shopping trip.
To say my husband was pleased is an understatement. Now he wants
me to save money every time we shop. That was why I originally
bought this book and I must say it paid for itself within the
first day. I printed off $9 worth of coupons right after reading
it and finding out where to go online.
This book will not only tell you where to go, it will also show
you how to save money every time you shop at your favorite
stores. Let's just say you should get a shopper's card
immediately if not sooner. In this way you can take advantage of
the advertised sales.
There are some unique ideas in this book like the idea for
setting up a coupon train. You may also be interested in coupon
swapping parties. Before reading this book I had also never
thought of printing rebate forms online. So there are lots of
good ideas.
While this book introduced me to some new websites I must say
the best one I've found is a shop at home website that has
hundreds of coupons. You can just select them and then print
them all at once. I'll leave the URL in the comments section.
Happy shopping!

Free Groceries
Great Ideas for Getting Free Coupons in the Mail,
November 25, 2009
"Companies appreciate consumer feedback so much that
sometimes when it is volunteered, they will send a coupon for a
free product." ~ pg. 26
If you have been avoiding writing companies for coupons then you
will love this book. There are sample letters and ideas for how
to write postcards to get almost free coupons. The only thing
you will need to do is to buy pre-stamped postcards.
I used one idea in this book to get a few coupons for products I
buy all the time. Going to the company's website and filling out
a comment form was well worth the effort. I found this was
faster than writing a letter because the coupons arrived so
quickly.
So while this book is very short and to the point it will be
very useful to anyone who is timid about writing big
corporations. Getting coupons in the mail turns out to be really
fun and it is even more fun to watch the price of your groceries
drop as the clerk scans them at the store.
I went to the author's website and it was down, but there was
another URL in the book at the end that I tried and found a
great site with lots of excellent deals. Like if you want to
save money in the grocery store at amazon there is a link to a
special page with a list of offers.

The Grocery Game Book
The Tricks of The Trade, November 26, 2009
Teri Gault started using coupons when she was a child. Later she
went from riches to rags and back again. Throughout her life she
has had times when she literally could not put food on the table
unless she used coupons.
First Teri teaches you how to map out your favorite grocery
store in your brain. She gives lists of questions to ask about
any of the stores you are considering. I do this every time I go
shopping at Fred Meyer and write out a list of items to buy on
an envelope that now holds all my lovely coupons. I don't need
to look at the coupons the whole time I'm shopping because I've
written the exact item on the envelope according to where it is
in the store. This saves me so much time and makes my life
easier when my husband decides he is shopping with me and will
be pushing the cart.
This book talks a lot about stockpiling and I do that on a few
items, mostly beauty products I know I'm going to use
frequently. Teri also recommends stores like Costco and Sam's
Club if you are cooking for a crowd.
At the end of the book there is a small section listing websites
where you can get free printable coupons. I printed off $4.65 in
coupons to use during my next shopping trip.
One of the things I loved about this book was the "Yearly
Calendar of Seasonal Savings." That you can refer to
throughout the year so you buy everything on sale and with
coupons. The lists tell you what time of year to stock up on
necessities.
Teri Gault's book has a very cozy style. She also shares her own
recipes and gives tips on how to give great parties. Since you
will be saving so much money clipping coupons you will have
extra cash to do whatever your heart desires. Maybe you are
wishing for an exotic vacation. It is now possible if you follow
the advice in this book.
Reading this book convinced me that I need to get into the game
so I plan to sign up for Teri's four week trial. The stories in
this book are amazing and really motivate you into
action.
Recently I saved $35 at the grocery store and it was all
products and food we really use all the time. What is really needed is an
entire book of websites that have printable coupons. That would
be ideal. If you know of one, please contact
me from my website.

Greatest Secrets
How to be a Strategic Shopper and also Help Your
Local Food Pantry, December 5, 2009
Stephanie Nelson otherwise known as the "coupon
mom" loves to help shoppers save tons of money by using
coupons. She also has a real heart for charity work and
describes how you can use coupons to get free items to donate to
your local food pantry.
The most valuable section of the book is the explanation of how
the "coupon mom's site" works. There is a discussion
about the VCO (virtual coupon organizer).You can also download a
guide at the site, which seems essential to the process. Not all
stores are listed at the site, I didn't find Fred Meyer listed
so if I used the site I'd have to shop at Safeway. After looking
through the sales for the week I did find that I had a few
coupons I could use at Safeway if I wanted to make an extra
trip.
This book will teach you the basics of coupon shopping. There
are recommended sites that can help you find out what your local
store's policies are. Like you might want to know if they accept
online printable coupons or double coupons. Stephanie also
explains how to stock up on sales items to save more money over
time. There are hints and tips like how to use a store coupon
and a manufacture's coupon at the same time to double your
savings.
In this book there is a section on how buying and selling
coupons is illegal but I've found three sites that only charge a
handling fee and will mail you clipped coupons in a matter of
days. I found I was able to get coupons I couldn't find any
other way.
One of the ideas Stephanie Nelson has is to watch the register
when the clerk is scanning your groceries to make sure you are
getting the sale price on all the items. I think you would have
to have an especially good memory to pull this off!
Unfortunately when I was a grocery clerk I remember that
sometimes the prices were not correct and we had to run down an
isle to find the correct price so I know it probably still
happens.
While Stephanie's book and site are good places to start, I've
found a list of sites that can be used to print off online
coupons very easily. I'll leave you the link in the comments
section of this review. I save about $35 a shopping trip now by
looking for coupons online before I go shopping. Of course you
have to know the brand names to do this so it takes a little
research. I'm still new to this whole coupon world but I find it
fun and challenging to look for coupons so I can save money each
time I shop.

Start Saving
Very Helpful Websites!, December 8, 2009
There are a lot of coupon books out there each with a
different focus. "Cut it Out Start Saving" is for the
shopper who wants to look for deals online. This book is packed
full of websites and essential information. Denise Long and
Phyllis Milano have really done their research.
Some of the highlights of this book include: coupons for baby
items, websites to go to for savings on vacations, where to get
free craft supplies, how to get free medication, where to find
help for senior citizens and the disabled and where to find
freebies online.
In this book you will learn how to join a coupon train or where
to find online printable coupons. While giving good advice the
authors also tell stories about how they saved hundreds of
dollars with coupons. They even include a picture of the
receipts.
As someone who has spent hours online trying to find the best
coupon sites I must say this book would have saved me lots of
time sorting through Google search results. Why do all the hard
work when this book gives you all the main sites you need. Get
this book and start saving money the day you receive it!

Better Groceries
Are you Losing or Winning the Grocery Game?, December
10, 2009
Randall Putala is a coupon expert with a lot of wisdom to share.
He includes copies of receipts in the back of the book that show
how much money you can save when using coupons.
This book is really a wakeup call and dispels many myths about
coupon usage. Randall Putala is like the coupon drill sergeant
as he uses a lot of CAPS to make his points. For most of the
first half of the book he spends time convincing readers that
using coupons is a good idea, whether you are rich or poor. He
even claims that Oprah uses coupons.
What is interesting about this particular book is the
descriptions of typical shoppers and how they can change their
strategy to save money.
For the last half of the book, Randall Putala spends time
convincing the reader that cooking is fun and easy. He provides
lots of recipes you can throw together in minutes. I think his
method of cooking is easy and I can see why he thinks cooking is
not work. On the other hand, cooking is work for most people and
takes a lot of effort. First you have to spend hours collecting
all the ingredients and then you have to spend more hours
putting meals together from scratch. I easily spend an hour a
day cooking meals, hours looking through cookbooks for new
recipes, and spend a few hours clipping coupons.
One of the things I think Randall Putala is completely right
about is his encouragement to try new products with new coupons.
Recently I used a coupon for crackers I would not have purchased
before and both my husband and I ended up loving them and now we
buy them on every shopping trip even though we don't have
another coupon for them.
So this book is filled with practical advice that will be
appreciated by those who are new to coupon shopping. The
author's main goal seems to be to lead the reader to
"coupon nirvana," a place where you get a high from
saving so much money it blows your mind.
While the author says you should throw away your expired coupons
so you don't mistakenly use them and get yourself into trouble,
I found out that you can donate expired coupons to military
families. The coupons can be used six months after their
expiration date.
After reading this book I am even more eager to save money with
coupons. I will however not be giving up pre-grated cheese or
organic milk anytime soon. I know they are more expensive but
the convenience and taste are worth the price. It is possible to
find coupons for organic milk these days and I used one earlier
this month.

Cutting Your Grocery Bill
Strategic Shopping, January 22, 2010
In the past few months I've read seven books on saving money at
the grocery store and have been able to save $20 to $40 on each
shopping trip. While each book gave new ideas, "The Coupon
Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills In Half" is
probably the most comprehensive.
Stephanie Nelson begins her book by explaining various shopping
styles and then makes a convincing case for shopping at
wholesale clubs. She then explains how you can save when you buy
meats, organic foods, dairy products and beauty products.
While a lot of this book is about clipping coupons, some of the
information is more about a back-to-basics approach. Do you
really want to wash your own lettuce, repackages bulk meats,
make your own tortilla chips, make milk from powdered milk and
shred your own cheese? I know I don't but I could be saving even
more money if I was willing to give up some convenience foods. I
also won't be giving up my Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon
Vanilla Extract for the 16-ounce bottle at Costco. Yes it is
cheaper but there is a great difference in flavor. Yes I've done
some taste tests with the cheaper vanilla.
So while you read this book you can take all your personal
preferences into consideration. Sometimes saving a few pennies
just isn't worth the inconvenience. I will say however I use her
advice about using baking soda to scrub pots and pans.
Some of the most valuable information in this book is the
websites where you can find printable coupons. There is a list
of websites in the back of the book. There is also some
information on how to use the author's website which I found to
be useful.
One of the things I think is amazing is how Stephanie Nelson can
remember all the prices of all the foods she is buying. She
saves even more money when she finds a price discrepancy.
