When trying to maximize savings at the grocery store, one of the best way to do this is to take advantage of Catalina deals. What is a Catalina? A Catalina is a term used for the machines at the registers that provide printed coupons and promotions for products at grocery stores  with your receipt. Most grocery stores have Catalinas including Walgreens. If you take advantage of a Catalina promotion you can often receive money off your next purchase! Combine coupons and sales with the Catalina deals and you often get what is called a Money Maker: you can often get the product for free AND make an overage (or profit)!

Here is a current example of a Catalina Promotion going on at Fry’s:

Purchase Purex (50 oz.) Laundry Detergent between 1/11 and 3/7:Off Your Next Shopping Order)
Purchase (3) or more and get $5 coupon OYNSO.

Purchase (2) and get $4 OYNSO (

So, here is what I would do to take advantage of this promotion at Fry’s:

1. Fry’s is having a Buy 1o, Get $3 off Promotion on certain items this week. One of the items is Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent. Price before Buy 10 Promo is $2.49. Price after Buy 10 Promo is $2.19.

2. So, I would use this coupon: Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent, any .35/1 (2-20-10) RP-1/10. After the Buy 10, Get $3 Promo and the coupon, this would make the Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent  $1.49 ea., which is a great deal by itself!

3. To then take advantage of the Catalina Deal, I would purchase 2 Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent with coupons (part of the Buy 10 promotion) for a total of  $2.98. Then I would receive a printed Catalina for $4.00 OYNSO! That means I made $1.00 AND I received 2 free bottles of Purex!! Isn’t that a GREAT DEAL?!

So, just keep an eye out for the coupons and promos that the cashier gives you with your receipt. Check weekly sales at HowDo ICoupon.com to see if there is ever a match and see your dollars stretch further!

One of the three major keys to saving money at the grocery store is coupons. The more coupons you have, the more you save. If you have multiple coupons of the same one you can really make a difference in your spending and stock. For instance, a couple of weeks ago, Downy softener was on sale for $2.99. If you had the $3/1 coupon you would get it for free. Now think about if you had multiples of that same coupon…you could stock up on fabric softener for free!

So, how do you get multiples of the same coupon? There are a few ways to do this. Obvious and first one is to get the Sunday paper which has coupons most Sundays of the year. Some couponers subscribe and get several duplicate papers delivered every Sunday. In Tucson, there are a couple of options to choose from. You can get the local paper and/or you can get the Phoenix paper delivered as well. The bonus to getting the Phoenix paper is that there are often more coupons available and at a higher value. One positive to living in a big city, huh? Often I am irritated because a coupon is advertised through various sites and after pilfering my ads I find I do not have it because I do not get the Phoenix paper. I digress . Anyways, getting the multiples of the Sunday paper is a great way to get more coupons whether it is the local paper or the one from a bigger city nearby.

**TIP: Here in Tucson on the NW side you can go to the Dollar Tree and get the Sunday paper for $1.00! I know some fellow couponers who do this especially when there are high value or popular coupons in that week’s paper. How cool is that?! You can stock up there if you want and  pay only $1.00 per paper (as opposed to $1.50). Check out the Dollar Tree near you to see if they offer this as I am not sure if every store does.

Another tip is to always check your local library and your local community paper. We get a community paper delivered every week called the Northwest Explorer and there are coupon inserts in it. How great is that?! I don’t have to pay for them and it is basically money in my pocket. Check to see if yours does too. Also, check your local library. The same paper is delivered to the library and you could pick up a couple copies there gratis!

Here are a couple of printable coupon sites. You can generally print two of each coupon and then you have to wait until it resets:

Coupons.com

RedPlum

Make sure to sign up for grocery cards. Not only will you get the sales the stores offer, there are two great sites that you use your grocery card number and you load coupons onto them to use:

Shortcuts.com

Cellfire.com

The sites above are great. They are easy to sign up to and once you register your card you can load savings with a click of your mouse . I hate clipping coupons so this is a nice bonus – Love it!

I am running on little sleep so I will try and post more as I remember. I will get the best deals up for the week soon too!

The day after Thanksgiving, as most of you all know, is the biggest shopping day of the year for retailers. There are tons of stores that will be offering great deals on toys, electronics, clothes, and so on. The key to Black Friday is to be prepared.

1. Figure out your budget. How much can you spend? How much do you want to spend per person or family? Set a limit and stick to it. A good tip to avoid more credit card debt is to take out the cash you plan to spend and separate it into different envelopes. When it is gone, it is gone!

2. What do you want or need to get from the sales? Make a list and use it as a guide when you are shopping. It is also good to have substitutions thought out so when an item is no longer available (which it will be) you have a back up plan. Try to make your shopping experience as stress-free as possible.

3. Take a look at all the store flyers and plan. What time do you need to wake up to be in line? Plan to carry just your wallet instead of a purse. It really does help to not carry much as stores often run out of carts and you may end up having to carry your merchandise. Bring a bottle of water or thermos of coffee to keep you going. You will be grateful you did. Shopping is hard work!

4. Compile the ads for the stores you are interested in. A lot of stores will be offering Loss Leaders again.  Fair warning: most of the super great deals will have a very limited supply. For instance, this year Sears is offering a smokn’ deal on a washer a dryer set, but there will only be 4 sets available per store. Keep this in mind when you shop for the great deals and understand the store limits and rules. BTW, Best Buy has a fantastic deal on a washer/dryer set . While the set is a higher price than Sear BF deal, more than likely you will be able to purchase it because there will be more quantities available.

5. Hate the rush and insanity at the stores on Black Friday? Consider shopping online. Amazon and many big box retailers will have fantastic deals online. Consider staying up late on Thanksgiving to take advantage of sales that will be online. What’s a better way to snag some great deals than in your PJ’s and a cup of hot cocoa by the glow of your computer monitor?  ;)

Here is a list of links to stores and Black Friday Websites to help get you started:

Black Friday- The Official 2009 Website

Amazon

Best Buy

CVS

Big Lots

KMart

Kohl’s

Macy’s

Sears

Target

Walgreens

Walmart (You can even get a map of your store to plan out where to go first. Yes, I am serious! And, again, they will match any advertised price during the BF sales.)

 

If you shop online and want to see if there are any extra discounts available, check out this great website:

RetailMeNot

You can type in what store you would like to find discounts for. If there are codes available you will find them here along with their respective success rates. How great is that?! I have been able to score free shipping and discounts at many stores I shop for online.

As for me, I am probably going to Walgreens as their toys will be 50% off and shop a little at Amazon. I am done shopping except for a few gifts and crowds are not my thang .

Happy Shopping!!
