#Extreme couponing stockpile free#

I used the Walgreens Mobile App for paperless coupons and to view the weekly ad and used my Balance Rewards Card for extra savings. Over the weekend I went to Walgreens, with no coupons in hand and purchased my first week’s budget. This eliminates so much time and allows for maximum savings in-store. I see a good sale and I can pull my phone out, type in the item and see if there are any coupons available. I find this very helpful while shopping in store. In the app, you can easily search by category, brand, or any term that you are looking for. As soon as the card is swiped at the register, your coupons will pull up and be deducted from your total.

No more clipping to get those Sunday paper savings! Right in the Walgreens Mobile App, manufacturer coupons can be ‘clip’ and added immediately to your Balance Rewards account. The blue tags are opportunities to earn Balance Rewards Points, yellow are sale prices, and orange are clearance sales.ĥ. Pay attention to signage and special tags. Sometimes, just walking through the store you can easily find good deals and sales. Each item can be viewed with the sales and sometimes it lists a coupon that can be used with it. The weekly ad for Walgreens is easy to view on their Mobile App. Reading the ads and getting to know the typical price for your items is important. I don’t need to get things for free, but they need to be on sale and a great price to add them to the stockpile. Always review weekly circulars and shop the sales. It’s an easy way to get extra items added with little effort.Ĥ. I am saving my points and using them for my stockpile. 5000 points = $5 and can be saved up or redeemed in $5 increments. Plus, with specific purchases (that change weekly), points are rewarded and added to your account. The one I use the most is Walgreen’s Balance Rewards Program. There are items that are a lower price, just by using your Rewards Card.

Many stores offer some sort of free rewards program. Now each week, if I don’t spend it all, the money will carry over to the next week.ģ. Not stressful like it has been in the past. I have no need to be an extreme couponer and load up on any and everything each week. Make a weekly budget & pace yourself, purchasing little at a time. As it grows, things will get moved around more.Ģ. In the closet I have baskets for different things. Right now, what use to just hold facial care items, holds all personal care items. If it gets full, I will start a shelf in the basement to hold the extras. Everything is together and I can easily organize it. One for food products downstairs and one for my personal care and household items upstairs in a hall closet. Have a dedicated spot or two for your stockpile. This will help any beginner or non-couponer start a stockpile of their own. Last week I came up with a good, easy plan and I am sticking to it. There will be those times we can’t get to the store, and it is good to have a good stock of products available at all times. Things are about to get busier than ever. With Ethan starting Kindergarten & T-ball in two weeks, I have been thinking about ways to get my stockpile back to where it previously was. All the coupons are expired the next time I remember. The next couple trips to the store I would remember to look for coupon match-ups. I’d grab a few Sunday papers at the store, clip what we frequently buy and store the rest. Before I knew it, it was about gone.Įvery couple of months, when I would realize how much we were spending on groceries and everyday items, I would try to start couponing again. When I was too busy to run to the store, I would just pull personal care and household items from my stockpile closet. Months and months later, my stockpile starting to disappearing. Once I had my third son and things started getting more hectic, the couponing faded out. Then you have to plan shopping trips based on coupon match-ups and weekly sales. It takes time to acquire coupons and even more time clipping and organizing coupons. That was up until about 2 years ago. That was when life got in the way.Ĭouponing can be a lot of work. If you’ve followed Nifty Mom from the beginning, you may remember when I used to post weekly coupon match-ups and daily deals. I was always on the hunt for the best deals and saving money was my passion. This shop about creating a stockpile & paperless coupons has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc.
