Shopping Strategies

Can we create our Prepared

Pantry within our existing budget?

Absolutely! We are going to

show you how spending a little

time preparing can save

you a lot of money

At the Store

Clients wonder how coupons

can save them money

when most coupons are

usually only 25 or 50 cents off

An Item

We love to see those

clients after they’ve learned to

saved

60 percent or more

each time they use our

Shopping Strategies

We’ve tried to use coupons before and it

never seemed worth the

effort!

Let us show you

how to make it

Worth the Effort!

Your Number One

tool will be the

Sunday Paper

Contact your local

newspaper’s circulation

department

to see if they offer the

Sunday paper only as a

Multiple Subscription

The Sunday paper contains,

on average, over $60 worth of

manufacturer’s coupons

Each Week

These coupons, when used

in conjunction with weekly

sales,

will help build your prepared

pantry

Quickly &

Economically

Contact your neighbors,

friends or nearby family to get

additional sets of

Coupons and Ads

You can still build your

Prepared Pantry quickly &

economically with only one set

of

Coupons and Ads

Once you acquire your

coupons & ads,

it’s time to

Get to Work

Step 1:

Sorting

Step 2:

Ripping, Stacking

& Clipping

Ripping & Stacking Makes

“Clipping” Coupons Fast:

1. Start with one set of matching coupons

Tip: Make sure there are no coupons in the

“spine”

2. Rip each set of coupons down the spine

3. Make piles of each page of coupons

4. Clip each pile of matching coupons

Tip: You are clipping multiple coupons at a

time! Use your space barTo navigate this slide

Organizing Your

Coupons

No more envelopes,

baggies or boxes!

Welcome to the

Binder Method!

Benefits of the Binder Method:

1. You can actually see all of your coupons

2. You can quickly see the expiration date &

remove expired coupons

3. You can easily pull coupons for items you are

going to purchase prior to shopping & place them

in that store’s section

4. You can easily take the binder with you for

unadvertised specials and sales

Tips For Greater Success:

Be patient the first few weeksEventually, you will find your ‘groove’ which turns it into a

quick, painless and even fun process

Use your kids!This is a great way for them to learn real-life math skills

Let them clip and organize your coupons for you

You can even pay them 10% of the value of the coupons

they clip, which is always a great motivator (i.e. $4.70 for clipping $47 worth of coupons – you’ll easily make that up when you

shop!)
