Marketer Jen

My mother was a true-blood coupon cutter and she taught me well. I have always been a user of coupons when I do my grocery shopping. I’m also known for bringing a dining coupon with me to a restaurant. Lots of people find this surprising. Not sure why. But with these times of needing our money to stretch as far as possible, I’m now finding myself going the extra mile to save money. My last shopping trip(s) found me looking through the weekly circulars for where Kroger and Meijer to see where I would find the best pricing on the items I needed and then matching my coupons to the store with the best value on that item.  Then I went to Meijer with my “Meijer List” on Friday lunchtime. And on Saturday (the next day), I went to Kroger with my “Kroger List.” I likely saved about $100 on the items that I bought/needed that weekend. It isn’t really about convenience anymore right now…it’s about getting my family the best value for our money.  So markets be aware! I’m sure I am not the only person willing to do this! It is all about the pricing and my coupons now.  Mom would be proud of me learning this from her and using it to better my family’s life.
