> "Shall I start a coupon revolution" I work in London at one of the biggest supermarkets as a software engineer and would love this to happen. The biggest difficulty with fresh food coupons is that the mark up on those items is very very low. Coupons only work in those kind of situations if they bring customers into the store and customers buy other items with the coupons. Normally packaged foods have higher mark ups (for the companies producing them) and they can take a loss when initially releasing them to trial the market. If you can come up with a viable idea which would benefit both the customer and the supermarket then let me know :D
So I live in America (just north of Chicago), and my grocery store has a rewards card and actually mails me coupons based on my spending habits. Since I buy a lot of fresh produce, they send me coupons for $1.00 a red pepper or a free pound of carrots or what have you, because they know I will spend a ton of money on other produce while I'm there (which I would buy anyway, quite frankly). The rewards card also ties in with the on-site gas station in the parking lot, and the more money I spend on groceries, the cheaper it is to put gas in my car.
Jaime Altman we already have that in the UK too. Tesco have their Clubcard which does exactly the same and various other supermarkets have their own versions. What we don’t have is a lot of coupons which are printed in magazines/newspapers or coupons for free items
I live in the US, most of the coupons I use are through loyalty accounts. I use a family dollar one, which I save loads with and I have a Kroger card. I don’t have to pay to have either account and I save tons of money with having those things.
@@ashleighmoffett4986 yeah, that would be good too. I dont think a lot of people know about this. I know clickfortaz did a video but itd be good to see it in other locations.
If you don’t have any butter/oil or eggs any of them just use a can of fizzy drink and it’s a great replacement for all of those and works well and can’t taste the fizzy drink flavour. Makes most pre made cake mix vegan and you can also use it when you make cakes from scratch. Great video, your such a gem Grace.
The Moma almond butter and salted caramel with dates porridge is PHENOMENALLY good. I especially recommend bulking it up by mixing in a chopped banana, and maybe even a few extra dates and flaked almonds. It's a once-a week porridge treat. X
Couponing is different in the US. There are coupons everywhere. They come in the mail, newspapers, magazines, store flyers, and online. There are pretty much coupons in every category but not really in produce. As a broke college student I always use a coupon.
Stacy Rawls have you tried shopping at Kroger with a Kroger a card? They usually have pretty good deals on the produce if you have a Kroger card! And having a Kroger card is free! You also get a discount on gas and such!
id love to see you try making a full 3 meals from yellow label sale stuff from our supermarkets (go the day/night before, freeze it so it keeps and use) i think the yellow labels are our version of the coupons really xx
You are the sweetest, most genuine person I've ever seen. I'm at least 20 years older than you but feel like we could easily be BFFs. Keep doing what you do.
I think with the packaged food like that, you can add like stir fry vegetables or something with it to make it more filling and a little healthier. We do have a lot of coupons in the US but it’s mostly the same sort of packaged food and then like health and beauty products. Before I had my son I was really in to it and would get free bath products and razors and stuff like that all the time.
you can't get disney+ grace. the only country in europe that has it is the netherlands. all the other european countries are still waiting for it. it won't be available in europe until after march. something to do with the companies that provide european countries with disney content still having contracts in effect, so d+ can't be available here until those contracts run their course
Kelsey Rae i was thinking about that but i normally have cheese but because i love cheese so much so i tried the vegan one but it just doesn’t taste nice in my opinion xx
Charlotte Edwards Cinzia and Sophia have tested out a few vegan cheeses so check their channel! Also quorn do vegan ham and chicken slices that taste like real meat. They’re on offer in Sainsbury’s atm x
we don’t really have couponing like in the U.S because the rules with it are different so the pay off is much better there. In America they’re usually allowed to use more than 1 or 2 of the same coupon at a time, and they’re allowed to use coupons at the same time as the item is on offer in the shop - both of which isn’t really allowed here.
Grace, a couple of questions. Why hot water? When did you start drinking it and why (might’ve answered it in a previous video apologies if you have). And do you not drink alcohol? Once again why? Do you drink fizzy juice?
Grace, you're honestly my favourite person on TH-cam! You're so inventive and come up with such awesome ideas for videos. Your also hilarious and so down to earth and this is all so refreshing as there are a lot of people out there who come across as fake and uninterested in the videos they put out. peace out x
Evelyn Johnson using Fetch? It just depends. You get points, unlike Ibotta you don’t have to find specific item promos. You get points for most things you buy, but they have bonus items if you do buy. It’s mostly dependent on how much you spend. I do earn more back with Fetch than Ibotta, but does take time to get enough points to transfer or get gift cards. I make more money back using Rakuten in the states for online shopping. The last quarter check I got was over $50 but I’ve gotten to $100. So per month is hard to gauge. Oh, and last time I checked paper coupons stack with both Ibotta and Fetch. So sometimes I do save more than I think.
cup noodles is the brand we have in hk and as someone who lives in hk but boards in england i can say its so much better than the british instant or pot noodles trust me
Always been like this. Early on it was just a random comment that often didn't have anyhting to do with the video and that turned into simply ''First''.
I think the reason couponing isn't a big deal here is because shops here have rules about using one coupon per transaction. Every coupon or voucher I have ever seen has small print on saying "only one per transaction", whereas in the US you always hear of people doing extreme couponing where they get like, $100 worth of groceries for 99c or something. That just wouldn't be possible here without doing 50 seperate transactions, which a big shop would never allow anyway.
You should totally do something similar around your birthday, like maybe in May/June find out all the birthday freebies and sign up for them, and then do a vid about all the free stuff you managed to get. There's quite a few places that do them and some lists online!
Hi there! This might be a bit off subject, but is your Po Box still available? I read in one of your video descriptions that it will be open 'til the end of the year. Thanx for anyone who can provide me with useful information.
When the time comes around you should do a birthday deals tour of London or somewhere. I live in Melbourne and this year, being the wild girl that I am, went out and ate all the freebies. I started the day with a smoothie, Nando’s meal, stack of pancakes with ice cream, a vegan cheeseburger from Burger King and a frozen coke drink. I also got 4 Krispy Kreme donuts and a portion of chips on another day. 😂
I got so excited about the pukka collective because it's my favorite tea but unfortunately they don't do it in The Netherlands :( I've been binge watching your videos recently and they're so addictive!
Couponing in the UK is really bad at the moment because within the last few years the big coupon companies have gone bust due to people exploiting / over using the coupons that were provided online. Maybe try 'eating only reduced (yellow stickers) for a day". That way you can get fresh produce and it will make you try new foods/recipes and save on food waste. Just a thought! X
If you struggle with your eyes after looking at a screen for too long, maybe it'll help to use eye drops or blue light filtering glasses? Maybe a glasses try on? Loved the video hun! ❤️
Omg you should also try emailing companies for coupons! I email a company saying I’ve recently tried or like their product and ask if they can send you a sample or coupon and I’ve been sent loads of coupons and samples from them it’s great!
I think food is so expensive in us that the coupons are helping to sell the product that normally would not. The uk seems to be a better starting price maybe thats why they dont do as much coupons.
YOU NEED BRAND DEALS Also America has a lot of food subsidies compared to the UK( and other common wealth countries) so they can do that extreme couponing things
Companies put out coupons to push the things they can make money on, which is usually processed or "convenience" foods. Their logic is that on produce or "unbranded" or staple items, you're going to buy those anyway, without an incentive.

Really upsets me how grace doesn’t get any brand deals and things like that! My girl deserves it
Becca Crowther she might she might just not accept them. She strikes me as someone who wouldn’t accept just anything
chantelle kilborn fair point! still makes me sad because people but a lot less effort into their videos and get sent loads but like I get u
BIG FACTS. She already puts in work to make videos might as well make good money while doing it.
in a podcast she mentioned that she did get brand offers but she was scared of the reactions from her audiences :)
Natalie Hui wow bless her , the majority of her audience would be happy !
last time i was this early the mayonnaise was on the floor
😂😂😂That hasn't happened for a while!! 🤔 Lol. Maybe the squeezy bottle is the answer 😂💕
BAHSHDJD I REMEMBER THAT
What video was thar

Loved how the kitty is just chilling on the ironing board lol 😆
Grace, can you look in to the app 'toogoodtogo' please? I think you'd make a good video about it.
Kathy Smith YES! or Gander! It’s something similar!!
@@ashleighmoffett4986 yeah, that would be good too.
I dont think a lot of people know about this. I know clickfortaz did a video but itd be good to see it in other locations.
I really like TooGoodToGo but I find that it can be hard when you have allergies as you don’t know what you’ll be getting.

“it’s gonna be cold!” that one got me - let out a little cackle
"really bad at shoving paper into holes" said no-one else ever!! 🤣 Grace I love you!! ❤️
Most coupons in the US are for snacky prepackaged things as well.
Charity Shop Outfits for a week Challenge
In the US we get a ton of coupons off of the Saturday/Sunday post as well as the store magazine.
Same in most of Europe, in Tesco mainly
I’m watching this with my rabbit and when you rustled the biscuits he jumped up next to me thinking he was getting treats 😂😂
Mckenzie Whitham awwww that is the sweetest thing ever, no Grace is the sweetest ever, then your rabbit 🐇

i’m just wondering what have you been eating for lunches during veganuary because i’m trying it but really struggling for lunches xx
I Ii thank you i will xx
Perhaps just make what you would usually have but swap out the non vegan ingredients with vegan alternatives?😃
Kelsey Rae i was thinking about that but i normally have cheese but because i love cheese so much so i tried the vegan one but it just doesn’t taste nice in my opinion xx
Charlotte Edwards Cinzia and Sophia have tested out a few vegan cheeses so check their channel! Also quorn do vegan ham and chicken slices that taste like real meat. They’re on offer in Sainsbury’s atm x
India Tomlin omg thank you so much i also love ham so if it tastes like ham i’ll be happy thank you again xx
A great tip to find the item is to ask staff to check if they have it in stock and if not, they can check where the closest store that stocks it, is
we don’t really have couponing like in the U.S because the rules with it are different so the pay off is much better there. In America they’re usually allowed to use more than 1 or 2 of the same coupon at a time, and they’re allowed to use coupons at the same time as the item is on offer in the shop - both of which isn’t really allowed here.
In my country you'd only get free water from the sink.
Lmaoo same
What country is that?
Omg same

i'm in the states & i even have a water bill, not even my water is free!

Your content is impossible to get tired of Grace!!
Your rhyme to pick a cup of noodles!! In America we use Eenie meenie miney mo. It was fun to hear a different one! ❤️
Whoop excited for this. Extreme couponing is some people's lifestyle
9.46 the editing is hilarious!! 🤣😂 Grace I love you so much
I signed up for the Pukka free gift around Christmas time and felt like SUCH a steal given the price of the Pukka advent calendar!!!
If couponing was a big deal here I’d be ALL OVER IT. Come on Britain up to your game ☹️🙌
I also use receipt scanning apps where you scan each receipt and can earn paypal money back or you can get vouchers on places like amazon.
Yes do a coupons for eating out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
if u luvv grackle turn the button blue to show her some loving :)
If it's allowed over there across the pond try Ibotta, but my favorite is Fetch Rewards (don't have to pull any offers. just scan your receipts)
kirasgirly how much money do you reckon you save a month?
Evelyn Johnson using Fetch? It just depends. You get points, unlike Ibotta you don’t have to find specific item promos.

Remember the days people watched the video before commenting instead of “IM FIRST”
Lol
no...
Always been like this. Early on it was just a random comment that often didn't have anyhting to do with the video and that turned into simply ''First''.

Can't wait for you to have lots of sponsors. You deserve the recognition. 🤗💕🙏🏻 Bless u Sweetie.
Signed up to that pukka collective as soon as I saw you talking about it! Love me some free tea :,) thankyou Grack!!
i love your passion for a coupon! Discounts are amazing

We are the same in New Zealand you just dont see coupons anymore. America seems to have heaps and people save so much.
Can you do a life update? What are you plans? Or you being a full time you tuber or are you going to pursue a career in baking? Let us know :)
I love coupons. I am not an extreme couponer but I save a really good amount & sometimes I get to try new products.
Those john west snack pots are amazing! I love the couscous ones!

Just wanna say: Grackle I really enjoy your content. That’s all
Hi there!
This might be a bit off subject, but is your Po Box still available? I read in one of your video descriptions that it will be open 'til the end of the year.
Thanx for anyone who can provide me with useful information.
If you download the app GreenJinn they do cashback on fresh fruit and veg regularly!
Reading the cake making instructions, you are so funny xx
Everyone seemed to be a little extra sassy in this video 🙊 love the sassy Booths 😄
Go on green jinn, discounts on vegetables mainly

Please let's start the coupon revolution Grace, I've been using Shopmium since your last coupon video last year!
Editing Grace is my *favourite* Grace
Why is everything in a plastic container with a lid, just add water?!! No wonder you didn't feel full up!! I agree with Papa Booth
Grackle always delivers when I need her most x
your skin looks super healthy and glowy!!!!
Your bed looks SO COZY during your tea bit and it looks like it's gray out and JUST WANNA JUMP IN IT AND TAKE A NAP FOR MILES.
think you should defo so this for food out, like restaurants or even the mcdonalds deal a day for jan!
Yes coupons we need more. Start the movement
the way the ramen lid was completely pulled off made me shout noooo without realising
I got so excited about the pukka collective because it's my favorite tea but unfortunately they don't do it in The Netherlands :( I've been binge watching your videos recently and they're so addictive!
You need to try the blue dragon noodle wok bowls you can get them in herons I think but they blue one is to die for😍
Couponing in the UK is really bad at the moment because within the last few years the big coupon companies have gone bust due to people exploiting / over using the coupons that were provided online.
Maybe try 'eating only reduced (yellow stickers) for a day". That way you can get fresh produce and it will make you try new foods/recipes and save on food waste. Just a thought! X
More videos of you and your dad. We all love him
I got the exact same pukka teas, were so great
The start of this video had chaotic energy and I LOVE it - queen of chaos
I thrive on the chaotic energy, I can relate to the random thoughts and distractions Grace faces. I'm a bit the same 🤣❤️
Greenjinn almost always has coupons for fresh produce, such as potatoes, and punnets of raspberries.
Your alarm at 8:29 made me jump out the bath thinking my smoke alarm was going off 😂
😂😂😂😂
grace!! you blew up my god! i remember watching you at 13.3 thousand! im super proud of you! love from new zealand xx
Pics is all the way from New Zealand! This made me legit have a giggle to find a kiwi product on sale in the uk. Ps love from New Zealand!
Perfect study break timing!! Love your videos!
you should do a how much i spend in a week in london vid, not in a show off way just interesting to see :)
If you struggle with your eyes after looking at a screen for too long, maybe it'll help to use eye drops or blue light filtering glasses? Maybe a glasses try on?
Loved the video hun! ❤️
Omg you should also try emailing companies for coupons! I email a company saying I’ve recently tried or like their product and ask if they can send you a sample or coupon and I’ve been sent loads of coupons and samples from them it’s great!
Pro tip: If you don't see shopping baskets go to the checkout and snag one there.
You need to come to the US we are couponing freaks!
Christmas eves eve is also known as Tibbs Eve in Newfoundland 🇨🇦

Not sure if you have but it would be good to see a vid on the app too goo to go 🤗
Remember at primary school, collecting the coupons from supermarkets for pe/ict equipment
saying its just not right as youre grabbing a bigger shovel , I love you
you should try $20 meal prep for a week!
Companies put out coupons to push the things they can make money on, which is usually processed or "convenience" foods. Their logic is that on produce or "unbranded" or staple items, you're going to buy those anyway, without an incentive.
You said: feel new tea
I heard: feel naughty
And thought, how’s that possible in tea?😂
We don't have ANY coupons in Estonia :(
I’ve been waiting for another Grackle upload! So happy!
Where are your trousers from cos I love them x
I was admiring them too
ahh i cant wait to see how you do! glad for this video for a pick me up on a day im feeling sick! :)
i think it has to do with the fact that supermarkets out here are competing with HUGE companies like walmart and costco so they have to jack up their prices, and then use weekly advertisement sales and coupons to bring customers in. It's very weird. I work in a grocery store and its soooo expensive compared to our local super walmart but when there's a flash sale on things like soda and chips and meat its SUPER low. a 24 pack of cola would cost around $7-8 a walmart whereas at my store during a sale it would be $4 for a 24 pk but you have to buy 2 or more.
Extended family is from England, haven't seen them in years but when you talk I feel like there here.
