Online coupons!!
Am I the only person in the world having problems with online coupon services?
Economy is in trouble, and like most of you our pocket books are getting squeezed as well – it seems like we are getting punched every which way.
I am now starting to look through grocery store advertisement pamphlets that come in the newspaper, and started to jot down things that are on sale – going to the stores to purchase “on-sale” items only.
Guess roaming through the store to just fill up the shopping cart days are clearly over. Don’t get me wrong I still do buy things that are not on-sale (sorry, I am not that discipline), but I need to start saving money here and there.
About a year ago or so I used to load up a cart with grocery, and would probably pay around $250 to maximum of $300 – reminds you that this included basic staple items as well as “luxury” items(not on sale) that would last us for five days or so.
However, when I went to the store to get grocery for the week I spent over $350!!! AND I didn’t really spend money on the luxury food items!
When I say luxury items I mean beef jerky, Haagen-Dazs, conveniently packaged snacks , filet mignons, leg of a lamb, imported cheese or specialty cheese, deli meats (where you pay $8.99/lb for turkey meat), and etc.
So, when I came home I searched through bags of grocery, and studied my receipt to see what I bought from the store — I couldn’t find anything overly “shocking.”
I didn’t buy the top of the line meat selections, bought generic ice cream cones for the kids, bought large bags of cookies and pretzels (so I can pack them in individual snack bags to save money), stocked up on canned sauces (tomato pastes, sauce, and etc), bought fruits that were on sale for $1.99/lb or less, and etc.
From the receipt, it was $1.99 here, $0.59 here, $1.45 there, but when I added up the receipt it was closed to $350!
I couldn’t believe it – when did food get THAT expensive? 
With this shocking revelation I decided to subscribe to online coupon “stores” – coolsavings.com, Pillsbury.com, clipngocoupons.com, and coupons.com.
Unfortunately — I guess I am an idiot — I couldn’t get those coupons to print even after installing the printer software onto my computer.
I followed every step carefully, but no success!
Here are the problems I have encounter.
In the Coolsavings.com website, I couldn’t complete the printing process – menu to install printer function did not function … so, it was in idle mode.
In clipngocoupons.com, even after I sign in as a member, I kept getting the survey page – come on, I already did that!
With coupons.com and Phillsbury.com sites I did successfully pick the coupons I wanted, but even though it said “print successful” my printer didn’t print out the coupons – yes, I did check if my printer was on and there were sufficient amount of ink.
So .. to make sure my printer was working properly I did print couple of pages of documents; which was successful (but not the coupons).
Bottom line – my attempt to shop “smarter” didn’t quite work well. I guess I am going to cut out coupons that come in the newspaper.
