One of my favorite parts of my work is sitting down and talking with women and men who are shopping for their families. I visit with families that shop the sales and seldom buy a product unless it's on sale. I think that's great they do this. I also visit with families who use coupons on the products they regularly buy. I think using coupons is great. However, savings “˜magic' truly comes from applying your very high value coupons on top of your great local sales while taking advantage of all the other savings opportunities that exist. These savings combinations are how we calculate most of the 60%-80% off products each week.
One of the most surprising things people learn when they start shopping with SavingsAngel is that they can apply more than one coupon or discount on a single product. Although this concept is a bit confusing at first, it helps to understand the different categories of discounts:
1. Store Sales
Usually listed in a store's weekly ad.
2. Manufacturer Coupons
Most are available in your Sunday newspaper or online. However, you find coupons just about anywhere.
3. Store Coupons
Usually listed in a store's weekly ad or monthly coupon flyer/book.
4. Register Rewards / Extra Care Bucks / Catalinas
Coupons that print out at the register worth money off your next transaction at that store.
5. Manufacturer Rebates
These can be found in many locations. This usually involves filling a form out online or mailing your receipt and a small filled-out form. In exchange for this effort, the manufacturer will send you a check for a percentage of (or often the full value) of a product several weeks later.
6. Store Rebates
More often than manufacturer rebates, you can receive money back by entering your receipt and personal information online.
7. Other promotions / incentives
Receive discounts on other products for your purchases. (e.g. buy $25 of a product line and get $10 off a new DVD)
How to “˜stack' discounts.
You can only use one discount per available discount category on a product.Exceptions are very rare. For example, you cannot use two .50 manufacturer coupons on the same item. It will say “One coupon per purchase.” You can, however, buy two items with two separate manufacturer coupons.
The secret to big savings: “˜stacking' from the different discount categories on the same product! Not too long ago, I “purchased” two Pledge products for free. Normally $4, it was on sale for Buy 1 Get 1 Free ($2 each). I also used a store coupon for $2 on 2 off. Finally, I had manufacturer coupon for another $2 on 2 off. Because the discounts were all from different discount categories, I was able to use all of them at the same time resulting in free groceries. You can watch an in-store video of me getting this product for free (along with some other amazing coupon/sale combinations) at http://sa2.me/video.
Once you are an “Enlightened Shopper,” a sale plus a coupon will be the baseline that you will build from. Most weeks at drugstores like CVS and Walgreens, I can get several free items as I apply my manufacturer coupons with a store coupon or store sale and get cash back at the register in the form of a Register Reward or Extra Care Bucks.
Finding and applying multiple discounts can take a little bit of time to arrange. But, when you are turning your coupons into free food and household products for your family, you'll find it well worth the effort.
