My friend Frazzled Mom asked an excellent question in the comment section. So I'm posting it so I can write a blog about it. She wants to know how you organize your trips? And how do you keep track at the register? Post in the comment section and let me know!
Right now, I put ALL of my coupons in a binder (in baseball card inserts). If I have a store ad, I try to match up my coupons to the ad. Then I take the ad, the coupon binder into the store with me. I go up and down isles, watching for sales and matching those to my ads.
ReplyDeleteI also try to mark particularly good deals so that I don't use those coupons in the 'wrong' store.
At check out, I have a hard time still. I actually missed an item last week that was supposed to ring up as buy one get one at the store and it did not. I almost always have kids and other distractions.
ReplyDeleteI am especially curious how to manage this so that errors are not made. My husband has suggested that I make a list of items price it should ring up along with my coupon I am using...
