I'd be willing to go to other stores.  | The people here are so helpful and willing to share, They are awesome!
I used to shop at Dierbergs exclusively. The I tried to save money and added Walmart and Aldi. I did not save much money and I never seemed to have anything. The cupboards were always bare!
With the state of the economy/politics I was determined to find a way to save money. I stumbled on this and am amazed at how much more I have and I have even begun to spend less! Now I shop at Dierbergs, Aldi, Shop n Save, Schnucks, CVS and Walgreens...sometimes Walmart and Target but I have been so surprised with how I thought Walmart was such a good deal but really their prices are very close to the grocery stores regular prices! So I don't spend very much time there any more.
I would say the thing that has helped me the most is 1. getting my coupons organized. Recently I was completing a very large project (I am a freelance web developer) I spent about 60 hours over two weeks completing it. I did not get my coupons, I did not keep them organized and i really did not save very much or get very much when I did go to the store. It was very eye opening as to the benefit of actually spending the time keeping that in really good order. 2. I spend alot of time organizing my deals for each store before I go. If I do not do this I get confused, I forget to give certain coupons, I don't pick up everything I need to make a deal work, and I end up spending too much. Spend the time and it really pays off almost like a job.
If you have any questions or want to go over the deals for the week at some of the stores you are not familiar with PM me. I am better at replying to that.
Let me know if I can help.
