Cut your grocery bill in half!

Extreme Couponing

So has anyone seen the show on TLC called Extreme Couponing?  I saw it awhile back and became addicted.  I've always wanted to use coupons to help cut down my grocery bill but never could figure it out.  Well, after watching the show for awhile I decided I was going to do this.  So I started looking online.  I came across a couple of different sites that help you match up the coupons with in store deals for the best savings.  I started trying them out and have found that on top of not taking as much time as I thought it would it also was fun.  I find myself looking for coupons everywhere.  It's an adrenaline rush when I check out and find I have saved over 50% on my bill. Although they are quite a popular site, I had never heard of them before.  I had heard of Terri's list but found it hard to use and found that it took a lot of time and often the information was not accurate.  I was a bit worried that Savings Angel would be the same thing but I was in for a pleasant surprise!
Savings Angel  is different from the other grocery program or sites I found out there.  Not only do they do an amazing job of finding sales at your local stores and matching them with coupons in dozens of retailers nationwide (the most I've seen) but they also have a great support system for users.  


There are many reasons to use SavingsAngel.com to save money and become a frugal shopper.  To make it easy I have listed my top 10, though you may find others.

 1. Trainging



I was really impressed (and helped) by the amount of training Savings Angel gives its members. 

Becoming a frugal grocery shopper is something that anyone can do, but there is a learning curve involved. This grocery coupon program walks new users not only through the Savings Angel system with video lessons, but also through the ins and outs of grocery shopping coupon usage itself
. 


2. Time is money

Let's face it. Moms are the most time pressed people on earth! Between duties to the kids, the husband, the house, and the finances, there is little more time to be scouring the internet looking for deals on grocery shopping coupons minutes before you need to head out the door to pick up food. 

I love coupon shopping,  but the major drawback to it is how time consuming it actually is.In the past I was always overwhelmed by the amount of time it took to find coupons and match them to deals and then figure out the savings then trying to find the darn coupons, all in preparation to drive to the store and get my goodies.. 

But that's where Savings Angel steps in. They find the deals for me! And even tell me where to find my coupons, whether they are online printable coupons (they provide the link) or Sunday paper coupons (they tell me what day they came out in the paper).

2. Top Deals Newsletter 

And it gets even easier! 

Every week, they send me a newsletter with the top deals and sales in it! 

This gets me up, awake, and ready to go! This newsletter sets me down the path to couponing each week. 

Of course, I can easily log into the SavingsAngel.com website any time I want to to get info on this week's deals. 

3. National Stores

I think of all the things about Savings Angel I like, the most important is the sheer number of stores that are profiled each week, far more than any other service I have ever seen. This is important, as you want everything in one spot! 

They have all the basics: Target, Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid, plus local stores like Publix, Albertsons, Cub Foods, Kroger and Safeway.

4. Printable Lists

This is a big one for me! 

I tend to be rather disorganized, so having the ability to click a check-mark on products I'm interested in buying  and having all my products print out on one page is a lifesaver for me! 

There they are: stores, sales, coupons to match, amount of money saved (or made) all in one simple list. 


6. Angel Mentor

The Savings Angel Angel Mentor was the icing on the cake for me. I got a call a few days after my membership was activated to see if I had any questions about Savings Angel or couponing in general. A real person! 

She explained she was my mentor, and there to assist me if I needed it. Whoa! This grocery shopping program cares about me! 

And its not just me. 

Every member of SavingsAngel.com is matched with an Angel Mentor; what a great way to make sure that you are comfortable with grocery shopping coupons. 


7. Active Community Forums


As if the mentor program wasn't enough, there is also a very active community forum where members can ask questions (and get answers) and share other great deals like freebies, contests, and internet specials.

8. Prizes and Giveaways

I'm into social networking, in particular, Facebook. 

Savings Angel has a great following there, and has little contests here and there for doing something you do anyways: network. 

Just a fun way to get you talking about this great grocery shopping program. 


9. Money Back Guarantee 

Yes, a membership with SavingsAngel.com does cost money. 

But, it does come with a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied in the first month. And if you are satisfied (and I'm sure you will be) well, you get your second month free! There are no contracts or anything like that; cancel anytime. But I doubt you will. Its just too nice of a grocery shopping program to consider canceling.

10. You Can Get it Free with Referrals 
But why pay for it when you can get it for free? Savings Angel has a fantastic referral program that allows you to refer your friends - or strangers you meet in the grocery store - and get your membership for free. 

So the next time you're in line at the grocery store, holding up the people behind you as you hand your 3 inch stack of coupons to the cashier, tell those people about Savings Angel. Hand them the bottom of your printed list list that has your membership info on it, and when they sign up, you get cash! 

With the economy the way it is today, all kinds of people who never before would even dream of clipping a coupon are now fascinated with the thought of getting stuff free! Before you know it, your Savings Angel membership will be free. 


So those are my top 10 reasons for becoming a member at Savings Angel, but I bet you can find 100 more. Though they did set me up to try this system free, I would gladly pay for it, as it is a valuable, time-saving resource for all frugal coupon shoppers. 

Give it a try! You have nothing to lose (except your high grocery bill). http://SA2.me/calliecarey
