ShopSmart magazine, published by Consumer Reports, is at it again with more coupon tips and techniques.I'm especially psyched about their additional strategies: During a grocery run last week, I watched the cash register ring backward from $142 down to $100.18 after coupons and loyalty-card discounts. Whoo-hoo!
I'm hardly an expert coupon-clipper, but I do my fair share of cutting and clipping, comparing prices, doubling/tripling coupon values on top of sales and trolling frugal mom sites for deals.
But other techniques--like removing wrappers from soup cans to see if there's a coupon printed on the other side or remembering to take automated coupons from electronic aisle dispensers--carry the promise of helping us save even more.
While the cover price of ShopSmart can put a hurtin' on your budget if magazine purchases are a luxury (they are around here), editors were kind enough to post the feature story as a downloadable PDF.
Happy reading---and saving!
