Today is Heather's Happy Day!!!

...but it's not what you think...

Today is a  Happy Day for Heather because I just received the great news that I have been selected by

Coupon Divas to write their weekly Coupon Match-Ups for Harris Teeter Grocery Stores!

Match-Ups by Heather!!!

If you don't yet know what a "Coupon Match-Up" is, you're in the right place!

Coupon Match-Ups are possible combinations of a store's sale price with a currently available manufacturer coupon, resulting in the lowest possible price! 

It takes a LOT of time to research all of the available store sale prices, for every major store, every week!  Wonderful websites such as Coupon Divas (my fave) have become invaluable resources for coupon junkies to find out the latest Match-Ups.  They hire people like me, who are passionate about couponing, to scan the new sales each week, and submit the best of the best deals!  They then publish those deals on their website, making it easy for us all to save big with coupons, in less time!

Each week I will post a link here on CouponZoo to the Coupon Divas Website so that you can read my Harris Teeter Match-Ups, and many more! 

Happy Savings, Happy Shopping, oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Finally, my TIP for Tuesday: 

If you aren't already signed up on the Harris Teeter Website for the e-VIC specials to be emailed to you every Wednesday, you should run to your computer and do so now!  Here's a link www.harristeeter.com
Not only are there "advertised" specials each week, but there are ALSO "unadvertised" specials which they will email to you ONLY if you are on this list.  AND NOW, there are ALSO e-VIC ZSavers Coupons!  These are available only through the HT website, and you may only access them on Wednesdays, via your e-VIC weekly specials email.  These are electronic coupons that you can click on and save to your VIC card (they are loaded electronically), and the best part is you never have to clip them!  BUT, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT THESE ADDITIONAL SAVINGS UNLESS YOU SIGN UP FOR THEM!  THEY ARE NOT ADVERTISED IN THE STORE!

OK, sorry for such a looooong post today!  Just wanted to share the exciting savings with any and all of you who might be listening out there!  Thank you if you are!

Happy Savings and Happy Tuesday!

The Sunday Paper is Your Best Friend!!!

The first step to saving big money with coupons is to BUY THE SUNDAY PAPER! It costs $2, and on average, the Sunday paper includes $200-$400 worth of coupons.  And that's not to mention the "coupon stacking" you can easily do with your favorite grocery store's or drug store's weekly specials!

You MAY think you're not interested in many of the "processed foods" that offer coupons.  So, let me ask you a few questions:

Do you buy Cereal?
Do you buy Yogurt?
Do you buy Deli Meat?
Do you buy Cheese?
Do you buy Popcorn?
Do you buy canned foods? 
Do you buy ground Turkey?
Do you buy Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, or Stouffers Frozen Dinners?
Do you buy Frozen Vegetables?

If your answer to any of these questions was "YES", then couponing can save you BIG MONEY!  If you invest a little time, you will never again feel good about paying full price for ANY of the above items....and many more!

How would you feel if you could BOGO (Buy One Get One Free (Harris Teeter VIC Special) AND AND AND save an additional $1.50 off Yoplait Gogurt (how many of us put those in our Kid's lunch boxes?).  That would take the price from $2.99 per 8-pack DOWN TO $0.75 CENTS per pack if you use a $0.75 on any TWO (which is usually the coupon value)...AND you double it at Harris Teeter (Because they Double Coupons Every Day, so that $0.75 coupon is really worth $1.50)......................  I know it sounds complicated now, but SERIOUSLY, once you do it a few times, it is SO easy and SO Gratifying!!! 

SO, thought for today is BUY THE SUNDAY PAPER!  Cut out the coupons you "think you might use", and save the scraps, because you might want to go back to them later!.....MORE on that later!).

EVERY SUNDAY WILL FEEL LIKE CHRISTMAS DAY ONCE YOU START CLIPPING COUPONS!!! 

Bye for now,and have a great week!!

Have you heard about Heather's new Passion in 2011?

YES, you heard it here first!  My new obsession in 2011 is COUPONING!  I'm so excited about this new-found love that I've started this Blog in order to share it with all of you!  You'll never believe all of the fabulous savings right at your fingertips...literally (more later on that).  

And now, the answers to all of your "burning" questions!

Q:  How did it all begin?

A:  Late one night, I stumbled upon the "Extreme Couponing" series on TLC.  You can find a link to it here. We all know we "should" clip coupons, but I NEVER imagined that I could cut my grocery bill in HALF or more!  

Q:  How much do you know about couponing?

A:  I'm learning as I go! I've only been dedicated to this new passion since Jan 1, 2011.   I have found various resources over the past month that have been incredibly enlightening! I plan to share those with you here!  There's a whole new world of savings out there that I never knew existed!  I decided I wanted to share as much of this as I can with all of my friends, family and whoever else stumbles upon my Blog!

Q:  How much have you saved so far?

A:  In the month of January 2011, I used FIFTY SIX coupons!!!  In addition to the coupons, I maximized the store specials (advertised and unadvertised), store coupons, and reward bucks, for a total savings of over $300 in January!

 Huge Deals in January included:

FIVE FREE tubes of Colgate Toothpaste! (great for charity donations)

6 FREE Snickers Bars (great Valentines Day gifts for teachers)

$54 of Progresso soup for $18 (20 cans!  I won't buy soup for another 6 months!)

I am soooo very excited to share this new passion of mine with all of you!  You will be amazed at the deals you can score if you just spend a little bit of time planning ahead!

And, the best part for YOU?  I will do all of the work FOR you!  Just check out COUPONZOO regularly, and I will keep you posted on all of the HOT DEALS I discover! 

Can't wait to start saving with you!

xoxo
