Title: Grocery store sales papers
Post by: melodylogan45 on April 28, 2017, 05:35:57 pm
Do you read the grocery store sales papers via online or the actual paper that is mailed to you?I prefer to read the actual paper. I always mark what I want to purchase.

I always read all of them papers i get in the mail and on line stuff , I shop the flyers and sales, clip coupons and pretty much stock up when stuff is on sale. I and have never been without something I like. Got a full pantry and a full freezer... every thing was got on sale and I stick to my shopping list always.

I have downloaded five programs/applications to my phone that: pay me for my receipts, provide coupons and freebies at the local grocery store, pay me for having two drinks a day, and pay me rebates for items that I purchase. I promised myself that I would not purchase items that we didn't normally purchase as people are prone to do. Just buying things that I would normally buy has credited me ninety five dollars in rebates; forty eight dollars for drinks that my wife and I have had, ten dollars for taking pictures of my receipts and I have saved over two hundred and twenty dollars on groceries and gas since the beginning of the year. I also clip coupons from the local Sunday newspaper. That has amounted to about seventy five dollars this year.

It is according to what I have going on.  Sometimes I just don't have to time.

I have recently downloaded an app called Flipp that shows me all the ads at one time. I actually prefer the sales papers because it is easier to see.

I usually read the actual paper, unless it gets tossed then I have to go online

Both - depending on what I have time for.  Since I work in a grocery store I have the opportunity to look at the paper ads while on break/lunch.  And when I'm home I can flip through it on my laptop while utilizing coupons and Digital downloads offered on the companies website.  I do enjoy the hunt for a good deal... I just haven't had the time to hone in on them as much as I used to.

I prefer to read the grocery store paper while I am there. It makes things much easier while I shop.

I like to read the paper, however, lately because I've been removing clutter, I choose to look at the ads on my phone. Don't need any extra papers.

I do look at the circulars for ideas, but I also have a couple apps to my grocery stores that allows me to clip and get discounts.  I tried the coupons.com type site, but I wasn't going on there enough to really take advantage of it consistently.

 keep the actual papers in my tote so I have them on me while shopping in the store (in case I need them), and I browse the papers on-line the first day they come out.   That way I know  which stores have what, on sale.  It keeps me organized.  (Otherwise I forget the papers and don't have them when I need them in the stores.)

I try to match sales in the flyers with my coupons, and put those items on my list. I also get special coupons in the mail that are not in the store. Those help tremendously, sometimes saving one or two bucks each.

I am low-income, so I have to be wise with these. got $2.50 off each loaf of Brownberry bread that way the other day. Love it.

We don't get the paper ads delivered anymore so if I want those, I have to go to the store to get them. I usually just go online to look at the ads, match sale items with my coupons and head to the store. I follow Kroger Krazy on Facebook and she alerts us to great deals with coupons at Kroger. I'm a coupon queen and never shop without them lol

We look for the flyer in our newspaper too and circle the stuff on sale that we want before going to the store.

I usually don't look at the ads or circulars.  I just get the basics and what I need.  If I see a stock item on sale, then I pick it up when I'm at the store.

Usually, I take a glance at the sales paper when I reach the store.

I sometimes look at the grocery sales on the newspaper. I don't think many people look at the sales online.

I prefer the paper ads, easier to look through and circle what I want.

I get mines every Tuesday and once I know what I want I set out on Friday to do some grocery shopping.

I use the paper ad that come weekly and make grocery list from there.  Start with one and write down everything I want to purchase  including the price then go on to the next one and make the list for that store this way I can see who has what we need and at what price

I prefer the actual paper flyers. But most of my coupon/ sale matchups I get from the Krazy Coupon Lady website.
