Are You Extreme About Couponing?
Some people have no problem paying retail. But others have a knack for finding the best deals and stocking up on deeply discounted items. These are the couponers of the world, and it turns out both Aimee and Shawn consider themselves to be pretty good at it.
Aimee is a grocery store superwoman… sometimes it’s Smiths, sometimes it’s Albertsons, but wherever it is she warns people behind her she’s going to be a bit. Using her app, she will find a way to “beat the system” and take home bundles of groceries for as cheap as possible. She’ll shave at least 10% off her bill and use those points. Sometimes it’s on gas but at Albertsons she knows the deal. 7 points = $10 off on the app. Don’t mess with her. She’s serious. She even has a favorite check out clerk!
Then there is Shawn. Shawn has an unhealthy obsession with CVS ExtraCare. While some laugh at the ridiculously long receipts, Shawn is there scouring the entire length. He actually scans his card first to get the coupons up front and he’ll break his transaction into several purchases to maximize his savings. PLUS he went as far as to buy into their ExtraCare subscription club. Essentially, you pay $5 a month, but you get $10 in ExtraCare bucks a month – so it’s like stealing $5. Not to mention crazy savings on store brands.
The last time he went, he took the place to the cleaners and bragged about it on Twitter, and it got the attention of big-wigs at the Consumer Value Store™. Which is equal parts impressive and horribly embarrassing.
Sounds like you’re doing it right to me!
