Extreme Personal Finance: Crissy Thompson, the Coupon Queen
http://www.getrichslowly.org/ blog/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ extreme-personal-finance-crissy-tho...
Changed the title and URL, everyone. Sorry. I hadn't planned to post anything this afternoon, but about a million people (maybe a million-and-a-half) sent me a story about Crissy Thompson from Gainesville, Georgia. Crissy sometimes spends just $10 a week on groceries. For her family of five. How does she do it? Coupons. Jay Watson spent a day with Crissy to learn the secret of her success. Crissy was pregnant with her third child and had reached the point that she was breaking even paying for childcare while she worked. She and her husband agreed it would be best for her to try to stay home with their children but they had to find a way to save money.

Saving at the Supermarket: 15 Great Grocery Shopping Tips
http://economy.nuovoportale.com/saving-at-the-supermarket-15...Kris and I went grocery shopping this weekend. We stopped at Bob’s Red Mill — a local health-food store — to use some “buy one, get one free” coupons. “You can get anything you want,” Kris told me, “except hot cereal.” “Why can’t I get hot cereal?” I asked. “I love hot cereal.” “I know,” Kris said. “But you buy it all the time. You buy it faster than you eat it. Just last week, you bought another box of that blueberry oatmeal from Trader Joe’s. You never remember what we have at home. You need to shop with a list.” She has a point. A shopping list is a useful way to remind yourself what you do and do not need to purchase. But most frugality experts emphasize shopping with a list because it prevents impulse purchases. Impulse purchases wreck grocery budgets. In Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping, Paco Underhill writes: Supermarkets are places of high impulse buying for both sexes — fully 60 to 70 percent of purchases there were unplanned, grocery industry studies have shown us. More than half of all grocery purchases are unplanned! No wonder creating and sticking to a list can bring down grocery costs. But that’s not the only way to save money at the supermarket. Over the past two years, I’ve published a lot of tips for saving money on your grocery bill. Some of these have been obvious — others less so. All of them can help you save at the supermarket. Here are some of the best: Make a list — and stick to it. This is the cardinal rule of shopping. The list represents your grocery needs: the staples you’re out of, and the food you need for upcoming meals. When you stray from the list, you’re buying on impulse, and that’s how shopping trips get out of control. Sure, a magazine only costs $5, but if you spend an extra $5 every time you make a trip to the supermarket, you waste a lot of money. Compare unit pricing. The biggest package isn’t always the most cost-effective. Stores know that consumers want to buy in bulk, and so they mix it up: sometimes the bulk item is cheaper, sometimes it’s more expensive. The only way you can be sure is to take a calculator. Our grocery store posts unit pricing for most items, which makes comparisons easy. Ditch the basket or cart. If you’re dashing into the supermarket to pick up milk and bread, don’t use a basket. Baskets induce people to buy more. If you’re limited to what you can carry, you’re more likely to avoid impulse purchases. Only use a basket (or shopping cart) if it’s absolutely necessary. Don’t examine things you don’t need. The more you interact with something, the more likely you are to buy it, says Paco Underhill in Why We Buy: “Virtually all unplanned purchases…come as a result of the shopper seeing, touching, smelling, or tasting something that promises pleasure, if not total fulfillment.” Do you know why grocery stores place those displays in the aisles? To intentionally block traffic. They want to force you to stop, if only for a moment. It only takes a few seconds of idly staring at the Chips Ahoy! to convince you to buy them. Stay focused. Live on the edge. Health-conscious shoppers know that the perimeter of the store is where the good stuff is. The baked goods, dairy products, fresh meats, and fruits and vegetables are generally placed along the outside edge of the supermarket, while the processed stuff can be found up and down the aisles. But shopping the edges isn’t just healthier — it’s cheaper too. Stock up on the fresh food first, then venture to the middle of the store. Discard brand loyalties. Be willing to experiment. You may have a favorite brand of diced tomatoes, for example, but does it really matter? Go with what’s on sale for the lowest unit price. You may find you like the less expensive product just as well. If you try a cheaper brand and are disappointed, it’s okay to return to your regular brand. Choose generic. Better yet, try the store brand. Generic and store brand products are cheaper than their name-brand equivalents and are usually of similar quality. But do you know why you’re reluctant to try generics? The power of marketing. Most generics have unappealing packaging. If they cost less and taste the same, who cares? Use coupons wisely. Coupons really can save you money. But you have to know how to use them. Clip coupons only the things you need — staple foods and ingredients — not for processed junk food. Learn to use special coupons. Once each month, one local store sends us a “$10 off a $50 purchase coupon”. We know it’s coming, so we plan our trips around it. Make one large trip instead of several small ones. Each time you enter the grocery store is another chance to spend. By reducing the frequency of your trips, you’re not only avoiding temptation, but you’re also saving money on overhead (time and fuel). Buy from the bulk bins. Some stores offer bulk bins filled with baking ingredients, cereal, and spices. When you buy in bulk, you get just the amount you need, and you pay less. Much less. (One GRS reader recently shared how he saved over $150 by buying spices in bulk.) Check your receipt. Make sure your prices are scanned correctly. Make sure your coupons are scanned correctly. Sale items, especially, have a tendency to be in the computer wrong, and yet few people ever challenge the price at the register. You don’t need to hold up the line: simply watch the price of each item as it’s scanned. If you suspect an error, step to the side and check the receipt as the clerk begins the next order. If there’s a problem, politely point it out. It’s your money. Ask for it. Shop alone. In Why We Buy, the author notes that people tend to buy more when shopping in groups than when shopping alone. “But men are especially suggestible to the entreaties of children as well as eye-catching displays.” Kris complains that we always spend more on food when we shop together. She’s right. If possible, shop alone. Use a grocery price book. A grocery price book is an ongoing list of the items you most commonly purchase and how much you paid for them. This list allows you to detect price cycles, spot bargains, and plan your shopping trips for maximum savings. A price book allows you to practice strike-point shopping. Shop on a full stomach. Studies show that folks who shop when they’re hungry buy more. This is certainly true for me: If I go to the store for milk on a Sunday morning without eating breakfast, I’m likely to come home with donuts and orange juice and Lucky Charms, too. Walk or bike. In our recent discussion about how to pay yourself first, Ross Williams suggested another way to reduce impulse purchases. By walking or biking to the store, you can automatically limit your spending. “It’s amazing how focused you can be when you are limited to one shopping bag full of groceries,” he writes. “Once you are very conscious of each purchase, it seems to carry over even to the small items where space isn’t really an issue.” Any of these tips can help a savvy shopper save money at the supermarket. But when combined to create a cohesive shopping philosophy, they have the power to slash your grocery budget significantly. I’m not promising that you’ll be able to feed yourself for $15 a week, but you might be able to save enough money pay down your debt or to jump-start your savings! Here are some related articles: How to save hundreds by playing the drugstore game The lazy man’s guide to groceries on a budget Grocery store vs. farmers market: Which has the cheapest produce? Kris requested I offer some final pointers for the gentlemen. “Check with your wife before you go shopping,” she says. “Check with your wife before you put anything into the cart. And remember: Just because you like a food doesn’t mean you need to buy it every time you go shopping.” Bulk food photo by mattieb. --- Related Articles at Get Rich Slowly:Use a Grocery Price Book to Slash Your Food SpendingThe Grocery GameHow to Spend Less - Lessons From ‘Why We Buy’Daily Links: Money Saving Tips EditionPrice vs. Ethics: Is the Best Price the Best Choice?

Do you stockpile? Girls Just Wanna Have Funds talks about gender equality. Get Rich or Die Trying put up a post about his wedding (which was Saturday). They targeted to only use $2,000 for the wedding (not including engagement ring, but including wedding bands). That is very, very impressive. Unfortunately GRODT seems to be down right now — I can’t access the site — and if he is on his honeymoon it will be quite a bit before he and his new wife come back. Our Fourpence Worth goes over the many uses for vinegar.

The More I Learn, The More I Learn I Don’t Know
http://www.frugalsister.com/2008/05/more-i-learn-more-i-lear...The More I Learn, The More I Learn I Don’t Know After reading an article from Get Rich Slowly about Crissy in Gainsville spending two cents for $380 worth of stuff at Target, I realized that I have so much more to learn. I have spent the morning reading through all my money blogs and I am now officially overwhelmed with information. It is a full time job to keep track of discount credit cards, coupons, sale ads, high interest checking and savings accounts, maxing out your retirement accounts, different unconventional ways to make money, etc. No wonder the average person gives up. I did finally figure out the gas to coupon saving at many stores thing. It does make sense to me that if the stores are close together or in the same vicinity as other places you do business, you could save money going to many stores. For me it will be easy since Shop-N-Save, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General, and Schnucks are all within 5 miles of each other. I just start at the furthest point and work my way back home. Savings money with coupons and store sales works unless your DH (Dear Husband) gets mad because he doesn’t like cereal made with whole grain (that I got for free with store sale and coupons) and you get into an argument in the grocery store and he ends up walking half way home before I took pity on him and called his mother to pick him up because he refused to get into the car with me. So now he has no cereal to eat and I have 10 free boxes, which is fine with me. Posted by Tina

How to Save Hundreds by Playing the Drugstore Game
http://byzas.net/luxury_star/?p=306This is a guest post from Cathy, who writes about family finances, cooking, and parenting at Chief Family Officer. I love the philosophy of getting rich slowly by doing the fundamentals: spend less than you earn, pay off debt, and invest wisely. One way that I save money is with what I call The Drugstore Game. The Drugstore Game involves combining manufacturer and store coupons, and taking advantage of a store’s best deals. When played at the highest level, the Drugstore Game requires only a couple of dollars out of pocket each week to keep you and your family stocked on necessities like toiletries, paper goods and even groceries. Real-life examples I recently bought an 8-pack of Bounty Basic paper towels, a Venus Embrace razor, and a tube of Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste for .81 out of pocket at CVS. If I’d bought the same items at Target (where I used to shop), I would have paid at least , even after manufacturer coupons. That doesn’t take into account the .99 CVS store coupon I received that I can use on a future purchase. At Walgreens recently, I bought ten tubes of Crest ProHealth toothpaste, three bottles of Cascade dishwashing gel, a box of two Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, two boxes of 3-oz. Dixie paper cups, two 20-ft boxes of aluminum foil, a small bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid, a Venus Embrace razor, a tube of Blistex, an Oral B Cross Action toothbrush, four cans of Spaghetti O’s, three cans of Campbells condensed soup, one can of tomato paste, and one box of cereal. I paid only .54 for all of these items. Interested in savings like these? Then read on… Playing the game To play the Drugstore Game well, you’ll need the following fundamentals: Have an understanding of how store coupons and manufacturer coupons work together. Most people are familiar with coupons that come with the Sunday newspaper. These are generally manufacturer coupons that can be used at any store that takes coupons. Manufacturer coupons can usually be combined with a store coupon. A store coupon is one put out by the store. For example, if you have a off Pampers manufacturer coupon and a off Pampers CVS coupon, you can use both coupons at CVS to get off a package of diapers. Have an understanding of the various store rewards programs. My personal favorite drugstore is CVS, which has the ExtraCareBucks (ECBs) program. ECBs are coupons that print at the end of a receipt after qualifying purchases. The coupons can then be used like cash on a future purchase. Each week, CVS sells items that are “free after ECBs,” meaning that if a toothbrush is on sale for .99, you’ll get a .99 ECB coupon at the end of your receipt. Walgreens has a somewhat similar program called Register Rewards, as well as the monthly Easy Saver rebate program. Riteaid has the Single Check Rebate program. For a summary of the CVS and Walgreens programs, check out the “Beginners Start Here” section at Money Saving Mom (over in the sidebar). Be Thrifty Like Us has a primer on the Drugstore Game that includes Riteaid. Have an understanding of how coupons and rewards programs work together to save you money. This is the tricky part, but it is absolutely worth mastering. In the toothbrush example above, a Drugstore Game pro would never pay the full .99. Instead, she would probably have a .50 off manufacturer coupon. So she’ll pay .49 and receive .99 that she can use to buy more items. A typical scenario is the one I described in the introduction, where I paid only .81 out of pocket. I used a .98 ECB coupon to make the purchase, and received .99 in ECBs on my receipt. This process is called “rolling over,” and it is what allows Drugstore Game pros to spend less than out of pocket each week while never running out of necessities. Have good sources of information. You could sit at home poring over the weekly and monthly drugstore circulars, or you could simply sit down at your computer and visit the sites that do all the math for you. If you visit only one site for your Drugstore Game playbook, it should be Money Saving Mom, which lists all of the weekly and monthly drugstore deals, puts together sample scenarios for free or “money-making” deals, and has a robust community that supplies updates. There are many other sites that provide different scenarios, and I’ve found it helpful to read them and find scenarios that best match what my own needs (and coupons) are. These sites also link to available printable coupons in case you don’t have one from the newspaper. You can find a list of my favorite deal sources at CFO Reviews. Have an understanding and acceptance of the necessity of buying non-necessities in order to maximize store rewards coupons. This can be a difficult concept if you are frugal and constantly ask yourself if you really need an item before you buy it. However, for maximum savings, it’s essential to overcome the tendency to exercise shopping restraint. Mommy Making Money has a good explanation of how buying things she doesn’t need helps her buy those things that she does. (She also describes what she does with those unnecessary items, since they do pile up!) In my first two months of playing the Drugstore Game, I calculated that I saved over . And that’s despite many “mistakes” because I didn’t really understand how to roll over ECBs by buying non-necessities. Now that I have a much better grasp of this concept, I expect to save my family hundreds of dollars before the year is over. Getting started If you want to start playing The Drugstore Game, figure out which drugstores are most convenient for you. Then check out BeCentsable for links to deals of the week for your particular store (click on the ‘Grocery Gathering’ tab, then on the store name.). If you don’t have the right coupons for that week’s deals, don’t worry! Just buy the Sunday newspaper and start with the next week’s deals. (Be sure to cut out all of the coupons, not just the ones for items that you’re interested in. You never know what will turn out to be a moneymaker!) Also, when you head to the store, bring a calculator in case you have to re-work some of your deals due to some items being out of stock. And take the circulars with you (or pick them up in the store before you start walking around). The stores don’t always mark the shelves properly, and sometimes the only way to tell which item qualifies for a deal is to check the printed circular. Good luck!

Daily Links: Close Shave Edition
http://byzas.net/luxury_star/?p=283Over at Free Money Finance, a guest poster recently wrote about how to save money with straight razor shaving. Because I’ve been at war with my facial hair for twenty years, I read this piece with interest. The author writes: Straight razor shaving is like fly fishing: if your aim is to catch a fish or get a shave, you can get by with fairly inexpensive stuff, but if your goal is to pursue the ultimate in aesthetics and performance, you can get into some pretty pricey stuff. Now, I don’t shave with a straight razor, but after reading Trent’s guide to shaving at The Simple Dollar last year, I did move to a safety razor. And while I concede that eventually I will recover the initial costs, it’s not going to happen anytime soon. I intend to continue using my safety razor, but it’s not the end-all be-all that many advocates claim. It takes more time to use, it doesn’t shave as close as modern multi-blade razors (not on my face, anyhow), and it does not reduce nicks and cuts. It is, however, a pleasure to use. I used to hate shaving. Now I look forward to it. (This shaving cream is amazing.) But I want to see some real-world long-term numbers before I buy into the “shaving the old-fashioned way saves money” propaganda. Here are some other money-saving suggestions I’ve found recently: Last week, Rachael at Antithete explained how her family of five eats on 0 a month. She starts with a meal plan, then builds her grocrey list around it. Rachael may not be saving as much as the coupon queen, but I suspect her approach is more realistic for most people. I’ve had many readers write to ask my opinion of Lifelock, the company that promises to protect you subscribers from identity theft. I don’t have an opinion of the firm because I don’t know much about them. But Annie sent me an article this morning that reveals Lifelock is the subject of several class-action lawsuits complaining that the service doesn’t do what it claims to do. (In March, I posted an article about how to prevent identity theft.) Finally, gardening season is in full bloom across most of the Northern Hemisphere, and that means the battle against weeds has begun. It’s not difficult to spend a small fortune on herbicides. But first you might want to visit This Garden is Illegal to check out Hanna’s list of seven deadly homemade weed killers. You may be able to kill weeds and save money at the same time! — Related Articles at Get Rich Slowly: Daily Links: Good-Bye, 2007 Edition links for 2006-09-12 Daily Roundup: Bringing Home the Bacon Edition Daily Links: Debt Reduction, Stupidity, and Mutual Funds Daily Links: Compound Interest, Web Income, and Happiness Bookmark this[IMG [Ask]] [IMG [blinklist]] [IMG [BlogBookmark]] [IMG [Bloglines]] [IMG [BlogMarks]] [IMG [Blogsvine]] [IMG [co.mments]] [IMG [del.icio.us]] [IMG [Digg]] [IMG [diigo]] [IMG [dzone]] [IMG [Facebook]] [IMG [Feed Me Links]] [IMG [Friendsite]] [IMG [folkd.com]] [IMG [Furl]] [IMG [Google]] [IMG [Hugg]] [IMG [MySpace]] [IMG [MyWeb]] [IMG [Reddit]] [IMG [Slashdot]] [IMG [Sphere]] [IMG [Sphinn]] [IMG [Spurl.net]] [IMG [StumbleUpon]] [IMG [Technorati]] [IMG [Webride]] [IMG [Windows Live]] [IMG [Yahoo!]] [IMG [Email]] More »Powered by Bookmarkify™
