When it comes to saving thousands of dollars at the store, no one does it better than The Krazy Coupon Lady. Every day she searches, calculates, and scores new deals that she generously shares with millions of people all over the world. If you haven’t heard of her by now, it’s time you two have become acquainted. To save tons of money every trip you take to the store, memorize these essential lists and you will save money when you shop.
Save Money with These 10 Lists:
Costco
Cheap Rotisserie Chicken
With meat being so expensive, you’ve got to do your homework to find the best deals. By purchasing your chicken at Costco, you save money at $4.99 and get even more meat than you would at a store like Walmart.
Cheapest Natural Peanut Butter EVER
At only 10.6 cents per ounce, you can get Adam’s Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter for way cheaper than Walmart. So, if you have a Costco card, you best get on this!
Organic Spinach Over 50% Off
Make sure to buy your spinach here to save money, as competitors such as Walmart charge over twice as much!
Walmart
Get Money Back
If the price of an item drops within a week of the purchase, run back to the store! You can get paid back the difference.
Avoid the First Three Days of the Month
Since food stamps are distributed at the beginning of the month, make sure not to show up at that time. You’ll be in for a world of hurt when you bring your coupons.
Manufacturer’s Coupons
As long as the coupon is a manufacture coupon, you are able to use it at Walmart. This counts even if the name of another store is on the coupon.
They do Overages
Have you ever planned your extreme coupon to the point where you are actually owed money? A lot of stores won’t allow you to to be paid back money because of coupons, but Walmart totally will. Use those overages to pay for other items in your cart and save money.
TJ Maxx
Yellow Means GO!
Whenever you come across an item you like with a yellow tag, be sure to snag it up. Yellow tags mean that the item is the lowest it ever will go in the history of that item.
Beware of the Compared Prices
Items have a compared price where they show the amount that is paid for at other stores, however, these numbers tend to be overinflated. While the deals are good, don’t let the tags get to your head.
Skip the Website
Inventory that you will find online is different than what you’ll see at the store, so don’t bother.
Bath & Body Works
Use Coupon Grace Periods to Double Dip
While Bath and Body Works ensures that sales don’t overlap with any of their coupons, there is a loophole. Each coupon comes with a grace period of three days. So take a coupon that has been expired within three days during one of their big sales and get a huge discount.
Exchange Wallflowers for New Ones
Even if you have had your wallflower for years, bring it in if it is broken and you’ll receive a new one no questions asked.
The Ultimate Black Friday
On Black Friday, you can stack one of each type of coupon in a single transaction. This is the order the cashier will use to apply your discounts so you know exactly how it will go down:
- $ off ($10 off your $30 purchase)
- Free stuff (Free item with a $10 purchase)
- % off (25% off your entire purchase)
Home Depot
Keep Your Plants Alive by Using the Return Policy
This is a big one guys. If you purchase houseplants, shrubs or trees live you have a one-year guarantee. So if your plant dies, get it replaced at no additional cost.
Get 10% Off Competitors Prices
If you are able to find a competitor that can beat Home Depot’s price, not only will they match the price, they’ll give you an extra 10% off.
Check out the “Oops” Bin
If you want a huge discount on paint, check out the ‘oops’ bin. You can get paints originally valued at over $30 for just $9.
