Just like everything else with life we can be bombarded with advertising and marketers... Who knows where to turn sometimes to get the best deals...
Here are 5 Basic things to keep in mind:
- Grocery adds come out on Wednesday. They usually have Friday- Sunday Deals in addition. It is best to shop on Friday to take advantage of the Wednesday and Weekend discounts. Items may be out of stock by Saturday and definitely Sunday. So, plan to grocery shop on Friday or early Saturday morning.
- All large retailers have their regular sales start on Sunday. In addition, Weekend sales and Bonus shopping hours are very popular right now. Make sure to note when an item is on sale if you see it in an advertisement... Circular add sales run from Sunday to Saturday. Weekend sales dates can be completely different than circular add sales. Just note that they are different, but over lap.
- I never go to a store anymore without checking online to see if there is an additional coupon offered. Online coupons are not always publicized.
- Ask the cashier at checkout, "Is there a coupon out right now that I am missing? They usually know and will tell you.
- If you are making a purchase like a small appliance or electronics: Google it! Manufacturers recommended retail, sale prices, and regular store prices can all be tweaked. It's all marketing and not the most honest. Many retailers sale prices are the manufacturers regular prices. The change the verbiage a bit to get away with it... Look those types of items up for sure and you will always be an educated consumer.
All the rest is chaos and extra info... If you get this down you will be ready for more tips and techniques. Basics first..
Happy Saving!
