Getting Organized Saving Money: Spreadsheet Idea

.

I did a post a couple weeks ago about getting organized and trying to save a buck at the same time. I had this idea of going through my cabinets and doing spreadsheets on the products that I typically like to keep on hand, so that I can look for these items when they are on sale. So my strategy is knowing what coupons I have, knowing around about when these items will go on sale and then stocking up. I've had several people over the past weeks email me about this subject and some wanting a visual. Here is my idea. This is a picture of my can food section (hopefully you can kind of read it) of course, yours may be different depending on what you like etc and I've done this for condiments, baking goods, seasonings, etc. Here is my thought!

Looking at the coupon database I have...I have coupons for the following!

This is just a few items, I have more coupons from Kroger Mail Outs, All You Magazine, Printables from manufacturing sites like Starkist, Hormel, Bumble Bee, Coupons.com, Redplum, Coupon Clippers etc. Another thing that I do is sign up for all kinds of sites, freebies, samples (the things I find and post) they send coupons with the samples. Another sad thing I do is instead of reading labels for calories etc, I read the labels for websites...log on to the website and find alot of coupons that way. I know it's sad, but it PAYS off and I organize them in my Couponizer!

For more tips on how to put the above coupons to use above, find coupons, organize coupons and look for when they will be on sale, I ENCOURAGE you too join me at a workshop. I've never had anyone disappointed that has attended and honestly the savings you get on your next trip makes up for the time and money you invested in the workshop. I can help change your life. On a couple of different spots on my website you will find all the info about workshops. I also try and give coupons out at the workshops to lead you in the right directions...alot of information and alot of FUN!

Let me know if you need anything else!
