Tips For Using The "Fishing For Deals" Blog

Whether you are just trying to figure out how to use coupons or you're used to picking up free toiletries, samples and mail-in-rebates, you'll find tons of info in this blog.  Stop by daily for the following:

Monday
Find "Pages" on left-hand side of screen.  Click on "Drug Store", "Grocery Store" or "Big Box and Other" Shopping Lists.  Click on store(s) of your choice and view printable shopping list(s)....complete with coupon match-ups.  When all ad's are up-to-date, you'll find "New Ads Posted" in the main section of the blog.  Save the most by looking at all the lists and planning to shop at the stores with the lowest prices for the items you need.  No time to run around?  Just look at the lists for stores you plan to visit.  Print the lists you need, crossing off items you will not be purchasing and adding extra items you do need.

Tuesday
Look in the "Grocery Store Shopping Lists" for "Next Week's Food Lion Ad", plus any clearance, CRT offers or other updates.

Wednesday
Tom Leonard's Ad will be posted and Food Lion ad will have this week's FLIPS listed.  Check the "Big Box and Other Stores Shopping Lists" for a new Walmart Ad.  View the main section of the blog to catch up on any offers you missed since the last time you logged in.

Thursday
"Next Week's CVS Ad" and/or "Next Week's Walgreen's Ad" will be posted as these become available.  (These will be updated Sunday or Monday to include coupons from the new coupon inserts and/or printable coupons.)  Use this information to determine if you should "use" or "hold" RR or ECBS.  (Compare this week's offers to next week's.  If you don't like anything offered beginning on Sunday, be sure to use up any store coupons you have accumulated that expire in the next seven days.)

Friday
View "Next Week's Ads" and "Shopping Lists" for Staples, Office Depot, Big Lots and more.  Check for blog posts updating offers listed throughout the week and/or new offers in the main section of the blog.

Saturday
Scan "Shopping Lists" and/or "This Week's Top 10" to verify you haven't missed your chance to pick up items your family needs at the best price.  Shop accordingly.

Sunday
Click on "Shopping Lists" to view ads.  Additional ads will be posted on Monday morning.
