I always recommend looking for “extras”- look for that item with a trial size attached. Look for the item giving you something extra. Here’s a great one I found today:
Lowe’s Foods has soft soap on sale for $1. The ad shows the 7.5 oz as the one on sale.
I was happy with that price considering I had a $0.50 off two Softsoap Liquid Hand printable making each one 50¢ at Lowe’s Foods.
As is my habit, I looked to the left, right, up and down. And I found this over the to the right:
A BONUS bottle! I got 50% MORE for the SAME price! My coupons were for 7.5 oz+ so I was still able to use them on the bonus bottle. Instead of paying the 7¢ an ounce I was going to happily pay I paid just 4¢ an ounce!
Always look for “bonuses” when you are shopping. It may be a 50% bonus for free, it may be a trial size or mail in rebate offer…but always look!
I am with you on that one. As a homeshopper for HT I do that for all my customers. Something I see so often is the customer will order a reg size bag of chips for like 4.39 or something like that but the family size will be on sale for 3.99. I will grab the family size and put a note. One cool thing I found for one of my customers was a cetaphil lotion with a trial size attached for the same price as the one she requested. I also try and look for product with peelies or store coupons (especially in the case meat dept)
That’s why you are my fav. HT person even if you are not at my store 🙂 You’re the best Nicole! I noticed that and stopped someone shopping the other day! LOL. They were buying the small bag of Doritos and the big bags were cheaper! I pointed it out and they said, “I don’t need the big bag” and I said, “So you want to pay MORE and for LESS”- even if you don’t eat those extra few ounces- you are still coming out ahead
