The New Year always brings us new purposes. If one of your decisions is to put your accounts in order, I recommend you especially set a budget and create a savings fund. Having control over your money and knowing exactly where you are going is one of the most important things you can do to secure your financial future.

Obviously, having coupons is the first thing you need to start. But where to find them, is one of the first questions they always ask me. Today there are many options for getting coupons, from coupons to print to electronic coupons that you can download to your loyalty cards.

1. Know when to use coupons

Cutting out and using coupons is only the first step to saving. Knowing when to use them is what will save you the most dollars. I say that when we can combine a coupon with a special sale and - if the store offers it - a coupon from the store is * magic *.

Control the Discount Cycles

The sales and offers usually have cycles of about 8-12 weeks. In addition, the sales have stations that accompany vacations or holidays of the year. For example, appetizers tend to be reduced when the Super Bowl approaches and sweets and chocolates are reduced in February for Valentine's Day. Follow our Discount Cycles to see what you can expect to be lowered according to each month of the year.

Buy at the Lowest Price

This goes along with the first trick on sales. If you wait for what you want to be discounted, you can get the lowest price, especially if you combine it with a deal coupon or a promotion.

2. How to maximize your savings with coupons

Have you asked your supermarket staff if they accept coupons from the competition? If you have not done it, you should! There are ways to save in your store that you do not even know. Here are some questions you have to ask in your store to learn how to take advantage of every opportunity to save:

Double Coupons

Another question you can ask the staff of your favorite supermarket is, Do they double coupons? If they do, what is the limit of the value of the coupon? Understand how your double coupon policy works.

Accumulate Store Coupons- Some stores and pharmacies allow the use of coupons from the store together with the coupon of the manufacturer or manufacturer. This is to accumulate coupons. Although you cannot use 2 coupons from the same manufacturer or manufacturer in the same product, you can use the combination of using both coupons in a product.

3. Buying and storing

Keeping your coupons is a very important part of saving in your supermarket. It gives you control of what you pay for your purchases instead of the store controlling your prices. It is a powerful feeling to feel in control of the money we spend when we intentionally buy for the progress of our family!

Buying in quantities and storing some products does not mean turning your house into a "mini-supermarket", but it does mean that you are ready to pay the lowest price for the products that your family uses when buying intentionally and strategically.
