Has anyone read this on YAHOO?

How is it that some people seem to get ridiculous savings with coupons — and some of us can barely remember to take our canvas bags to the grocery store, let alone remember to bring coupons? The answer is simple. It takes time to plan a grocery shopping trip. But the time invested can yield big savings!

Here are some tips shared in the free e-book, “Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half” from CouponMom.com:

1. Know Your Top 10 Grocery Items
2. Does Your Store “Double Coupon”?
3. How Is “Buy One, Get One Free” Calculated?
4. Can Coupons Be Electronically Delivered to Your Loyalty Card?
5. Will the Store Email You Coupons or Weekly Circulars?
6. Can You Join Specific Programs Like “Pet Care”?
7. Does Your Store Accept Competitors Coupons?
8. Are There Additional Loyalty Card Perks?
9. Can You Use Both “Store Coupons” and “Manufacturer’s Coupons” on the Same Item?
10. Are There Coupon Limits for the Same Order?

NEWBIES this is MUST read!

Hurray for couponmom.com!!!!

Stores have a policy in place for doubling a Q. some stores never double. some double up to a 50 cent Q. some only double on Mondays. Wherever you shop, you need to ask the cashiers if they double coupons and up to what value. Then just remember for future reference.
