I am a little confused about the shopping list, checkout x’s colum. On the first item you had 16 coupons and you were buying 16, and the checkout x was 16. But on the second one you had 3 coupons for a 2 for 1 sale and you were getting 6, and your checkout x was 1. I don’t understand what the checkout x is. At first I thought it was how many coupons you had, but when you did the second one I got totally confused. Could you explain what that colum is?
Tamara » Oh, that is the number of orders I actually have to do to get all of my coupons to double or triple
My stores have rules such as they will double or triple 3 of the same coupon and then any more of that coupon they will only give you face value for, so I am going to check those out 3 at a time.
Say i have 6 Gum and 6 Gum coupons for $.50 and my store will only double the first 3, so i checkout 1 time (x) and buy the first three with three coupons and then i check out another time and buy three and use three more of the same coupons, so that they all will double and I get the most out of them.
Does that make sense?
Thanks!

The unit price column is a good idea because it forces you to think about which item is actually a better deal.
Dian,
While I think your shopping list is a good idea, and I’ve tried using one I made myself, but I found it easier to use my print out from which ever site I frequently use, which has the following (and I’m sure you have seen tis over and over.)
*Circular to find coupon(s)
*Name(s) of products, how many to buy, if there is an advantage sale, etc.
*Coupon Value
*Quantity of Coupons needed
*Sale Price
*Final Price
* Percentage Saved
I write the mount of coupons I have beside each product, write additional items I nee to buy without coupons a the end of the page. Lastly, I fold the print out and place it, along with the coupons, in a legal size enveloope with the store name written on the outside.
This is just another suggestion. I know people use all kinds of techniques. I teach coupon classes and have a Tammie’s Top Ten sites and yours is my #3 favorite; of course I HAVE to write th name of the site I work for as # 1. Everyone has told me the LOVE your site because it is loaded with a lot easy to read coupon kowledge, love all the freebies, and all the othe super cool features you have.
Keep up the good work; it is very evident that you and the hubs put a LOT of wOrk into your site.
PAY IT FORWARD!

Hi ladies with the economy and all the things my large extended family need I need to start couponing however with a new baby there is hardly any time to do anything where normal life is concerned but this is a must for us .
Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do step by step to save on my grocery or household bills ?
Talia » Hi, I have made many videos you can watch that give step by step instruction. I also wrote a :fr: eBook because some people learn thru videos and some thru reading
but you can read that, too!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks!
