Matches



The foundation of good coupon shopping is making a Match.  Think of it like the kids game Memory.  We’re looking at the list of sale items each week, and Matching them to the manufacturer coupons we have in our stash.  All of our shopping list should begin with a good Match.


I work my grocery list and matches two directions.  The first way is to look at the ad for the week and then pull my coupons.  That’s pretty simple.  I see Minute Maid orange juice on sale for $1.99 and I have a $1 coupon, I’m picking up a couple containers of OJ this week.  It saves me money and “Juice” is part of my weekly buying.  If I can save enough money, and I have a place for it, I’ll buy next week’s juice at a discounted rate too. 

The second way I handle matches is a bit different.  I like to gather coupons in my stash for items I need to complete favorite meals.  This week, I’m carrying around  some frozen veggie coupons.  I’m not brand particular, so I can switch to whichever is on sale, or whichever has the lowest net after coupon price.  I want to make Cowboy Hash browns this week.  For this, I need a package of frozen potatoes, and a bag of frozen peppers and onions.  

In my coupon organizer I have a special place for these coupons.  I aptly named it, “Must buy this week.”  I placed the Green Giant, Birdseye and Picsweet coupons in here.  My plan is to go to the store, and decide once I get there which match to make.  I’m hoping to find an in store deal!  Since I’m out of these items, and I’m craving the cowboy hash browns, it  has become a must buy.
Ideally, I would have bags of the frozen peppers and onions in the freezer, but I do not.   We all misjudge how much to get every once in awhile.   This is where these stash coupons can save me money.  Instead of buying a bag for $2.49 or full price, I’ll pay $1.49 and not feel to badly about running out of my stockpile.  

There are coupons I stash just because I MAY want to buy the product in the future.  These coupons are essential for matches like my hash browns.  Some of the stash coupons I keep at all times include:  Seasonings, condiments, and  frozen veggies.  You never know when you may find a brand new recipe to try, or a craving will hit you out of the blue.  

Then there are things like Dromedary Pimentos.  I love those! I cook with them all the time.  I pop them into salads, and potato dishes.  I have 10 coupons right now that I keep checking weekly at the store for a deal.  So far, still full price.  Actually, I’ve never seen them on sale, so the coupon will suffice in a good savings for me.  But I will wait until the last week before the coupon expires hoping to get a store sale on pimentos.  I don’t NEED them now, and I’m planning to buy 10 jars. If the price only falls a mere $.10 it’s still a dollar extra saved.  If there is no rush to get an item, wait.  This Match may take some time, but can save you extra money.  

I’ve been holding 2 Hungry Jack coupons for 8 weeks now just waiting for a sale.  It has free mix when you buy Syrup.  So I’m hoping for the syrup sale.  We’ll play the Match game together and see what the next three weeks brings us.

Meal Planning


Before we get started this week, check out the latest Penny Pincher Commercial.  It is hilariously funny.  I have watched several times and every time I get a kick out of this guy.  

Planning out your meals does not mean you’re on  a cafeteria schedule without flexibility.  It just means that you have an idea of how many meals per week you’ll be preparing at home, and the shopping list to complete the prep.

 
Stockpiling main meal ingredients will help take care of a couple meal staples per week.  If you stock up chicken breast, you can have that for a meal 10 weeks in a row, and never get tired of chicken.  Same with brats, hamburger, or Illini Pork cuts.

My meal prep does not include 7 dinners per week.  I actually plan to fix 6 and have one super duper left over night.  Since I shop on Thursdays after coupon club that night is one of our big meal nights.  Usually, just because it looks so good and I want to eat it right away.  So this meal includes a meat selection, and two sides.  Usually some type of dessert. 

Then I purposely plan two meals per week that my kids want.  My middle child I call the “Carb-anator.”  He likes pizza, spaghetti, and macaroni bake.  These nights are good times to cut the meat portion of the meal and bring down my weekly grocery cost.  Spaghetti needs a nice bread stick or garlic bread addition, and pizza night can have some pizza sticks. 

After these 4 meal plans, I only need 3 more.  That’s easy!  One Chicken, one Beef, one Pork.  Done.  Then I take a look at the sides.  What can I pick up this week that is on special, or has a coupon that will accompany these meals?  This week we have bagged salad mixes on sale, and we all just stocked up on dressing last week.  Perfect! This is a great way to add a fresh addition without a lot of expense. 

A portion of your weekly budget will always be for future meals aka stockpiling.  I pick out 3 or 4 items that are on sale, that I have a coupon for additional savings and stock for the week. 

Only thing left are the snacks.  Sometimes the majority of the budget!  My budget includes a Meal plan for snacks.  I know that my kids graze during the summer.  So I need 2 snacks per kid per day.  Or 42 small snacks per week.  Fruit cups, pizza, even frozen egg rolls will satisfy them.  So I need to find stockable snacks with high serving counts.  I generally will not stock an item with a per unit count over $.50 each.  The $.20 threshold for snacks is my stockpile indicator.  Normally, I need a coupon to get in this range.

Take a moment to review your meal plan this week.  You can easily do it and stay under budget and use your coupons for stockpiling at the same time.  You’re a master multitasker!
