One woman said she gets free groceries all the time. With a little hard work, she said others can get them free, too.
KMBC’s Jim Flink reported that most of us think we can only save pennies clipping coupons, but one woman said she saved $6,000 last year alone. She is so good at it, it is now her business. “The concept is not to spend money if you don’t have to,” said Tami Bryan of Shop 4 Free Mom. “You really have to sit down and plan. I spend about four hours a week.” For 15 years, this has been her at-home job, Flink reported. Now, she teaches other what she has learned. “Every single item you buy for your home, generally has a coupon for it,” Bryan said. Bryan keeps her coupons in a handy organizer. “Up front I have medicines … candy,” Bryan said. She said she waits for specials and then combines it with her coupons. “Both of these were on sale for 99 cents. I had a $1-off coupon. So I made a penny,” Bryan said. Flink reported that penny was credited against her sales tax. Bryan’s goal is to spend a dime for every dollar of groceries she brings home. “Right now, Price Chopper is having its 60th anniversary and it has a a lot of things on sale for 60 cents and 99 cents. If you have a coupon for a $1 off, you are getting those items for free,” Bryan said. The big mistake most people make is thinking that they have to use the coupons they clip this week, Flink reported. But coupons are often good for several weeks, and during those weeks, some of the items go on sale.
