    Thank you for this!!! I absolutely love my low low OOP!!! I’ll rather lose ECBs or Walgreens store points than lose the money in my bank account. NO reason to have 80 ECBs or 120k points if I’m still paying 10 or more oop just to get the same back in ECBs or points. Miss me with that. Store money doesn’t pay my bills 😂😂😂

    • @darkangel15221
      @darkangel15221 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thank you for this. Often my OOP is higher because I buy products that I really do want, rather than grab the cheapest items that qualify the threshold requirements. I also buy the more expensive cosmetics like L'oreal and skip the Wet & Wild ECB promos. But I definitely need a budget and to discipline myself more in that the best deal/discount is to spend NO money at all.

    Your the best star! You explain everything so well & easy. It really takes a lot of preparation for couponing, Each Sunday I wake up at 6 to get my inserts & then looking at the sales ad at CVS to see what I can match up with my CRTs. It takes me usually 2 hours to do so because I like to be prepared & have a list on hand. When your videos come up I head back in store to pick up what deal I missed that you showed 😀 after your videos.

    Aloha Star, my name is Lei and I come from Maui Hawaii. I am writing to thank you for all the tips that you share. Here in Maui we are several dollars higher. After Co-vid 19 hit I found myself unemployed and unsure of what life was gonna be like. Being a preschool teacher for 20 years and having breast cancer in 2018 it made it impossible for me to be around children . I prayed and taught about how i could save money. I went online and heard your testimony. The Lord was speaking loud and clear, its time for a change. I started watching you and i was hooked. I literally fell asleep listening to you couponing. I swear to Jesus, it started adding up for me. I prayed , Lord show me the loop holes here in Hawaii. I applied what you were teaching and did the work. One of my biggest issues , is the only newspaper here on Maui is shutting down. NO INSERTS!!! OMG!!! but one of your lessons you shared about clipping services. THANK YOU! I have made a budget and let my earnings from coupons.com pay for it.I just started selling bundles and taking your wisdom with pricing and just everything....donating to my church ministries..in Hawaii we say , MAHALO NUI LOA which means lots of thank you....i didn't want to write a novel..this stuff is life changing and you had a big part in that.

    Girl ive seen a few channels that say they had 5$ money maker by spending 25 dollars and getting 30 back in points! Oh no, not me!!
    Could you maybe go over some steps on how you get deals together for CVS. Do you check out the ad first or see what coupons are coming out? See what rebates any of the sale items might have? Whats giving back ecbs? I just am not sure what the easiest way to start. Honestly, I watch a couple of hauls and just copy the deals if i have all of the same coupons. I want to be able to do it myself tho. Ive been couponing for a while and when i started the drugstores, it was too confusing to learn all of wags quirks and try to do cvs too. I was getting deals mixed up between the 2 stores or thinking i had a digital at wags that i had seen on the cvs app lol. Im ready to try cvs again.
    This video was needed! Very important and great tips! Especially about the rebate apps. People need to be using them, they are game changers for sure.

    Being genuinely nice is so true. I’m french so extreme couponing is impossible here, they do everything for you not to do it and you can NOT double coupons. And you can NOT stack coupons with sales.
    But I live right in front of a small supermarket so we just go there a lot when we need anything. I worked there, my sister worked there, and my mom will chat and joke with just anyone , so she knows half of the cashier, ask about their studies, wish them happy birthday. She always did that genuinely.
    And she has been printing coupons for a few years now. And sometimes, the cashier will just take expired coupons or doubled them just because it’s her. Even if my mom doesn’t want to give them expired ones or anything, they will just be like « just give it to me they never check »
    Genuine kindness opens so many doors

Not one of them explained or showed the real deal in couponing like you have done. They all showed these great savings but not the in-depth process and time needed to achieve such goals. I am definitely subscribing to your channel and unsubscribing to the three that I have already subscribed to. Again, thank you for this video.

    You’ve taught how to coupon and I thank you !!! Before I found your videos I was running with my head chopped off and spending more money couponing than I was without them. You taught me not to chase all those deals . Know the cycle when coupons come out and when sales are . I used to go once a week couponing now it’s once, maybe twice month. I’m not extreme couponing, just buy what I use and you taught me how !

    Star!!! Girl friend, all I can say is 👏👏 yessssss. This video hit on EVERYTHING. These new age couponers have no idea how easy they have it, begin able turn on a TH-cam video or look 👀 at a post and get ALL the details. Oh wayyyyy back in the day you had to actually read a whole blog post to get a deal and still had to do a ton of work before going in store. I tell ppl all the time, couponing takes as much time as you choose to give it. You can decide to get a second job to make up for financial deficiencies...or you can cut little pieces of paper. Thank you for putting this real talk out. 💚

    Thank you Star for being so real and open with and about your couponing. I was watching your most recent cvs haul and how you did it and a light bulb went off in my head that she is doing this different than I ever learned. I sat on my floor researching for hours how you did that. And like you said couponing is a lot of work. I used to do it years ago, I did ok. But not with the understanding I am receiving now. You don't just coupon and stockpile to do it, there is a purpose and an art to this. Thank you Star for being there to open my eyes. I really appreciate what you do and all you share. By the way...lol....I did have a cashier say to me just this week I can not let you take out all of this merchandise out of this store for free. She was a manager, and she called another manager up to help her. I was nice and patient. I waited. The other manager came up and verified. I'd already had another interaction with him the week before and told him what I did. So he knew me and was fine with the transaction. I'm not she she really understands yet, but I will continue to be nice and patient and try to explain more as I learn more. As I'm still learning. May God bless you on this journey. Thank you again!!!

    That is one reason I stopped because of the time commitment, I felt it was taking over my life. I've slowly started back because I despise paying full price for anything...lol and having a budget is a must. Like you mention it is very addictive and those coins add up real fast if you're not careful.

    • @mizzmiami3242
      @mizzmiami3242 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      How do you set up a budget for couponing when you’re not trying to spend any money at all? $50 per month on out of pocket expenses? How much is your new budget ?

    • @NisaJordan
      @NisaJordan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mizzmiami 32 I give myself a $20/weekly budget. Normally on Sunday, I decide what deals I'm going to do and which stores. Anything over $20 OOP is too much for me.

    • @nolabenedict3536
      @nolabenedict3536 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      What’s helped me curb the amount of time committed to couponing and maintain my joy is to decide what was important to me at that time. I tell myself that I don’t need to spend every good coupon and I don’t need to chase after every good deal. There will always be deals. Maybe I won’t go out of my way to get a laundry deal this week because I already have lots and maybe a different deal at another store or online is more worthwhile.

    • @mizzmiami3242

    Thank you so much for posting this video!!! I started couponing maybe 4 or 5 days ago & i thought i was saving money by spending money & getting rewards back!! Normally I would have never spent this much money especially on products i could do without. I had a feeling I was couponing wrong but you confirmed it!!

  • @nickiblank5882
    @nickiblank5882 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love couponing! I've been doing it for a few years to make sure I'm getting more bang for my buck instead of robbing peter to pay Paul. But here lately I've been researching how to step my game up a little more. It is very time consuming but what might be a little shocking...I actually enjoy randomly researching for stuff...it's like a hide and seek game for me. Plus whatever products I know my family aren't going to use or even have room for, gets donated to friends/family or when you're in a store parking lot and a person tells you they don't want money just something to eat (true story) and you make sure it's plenty just because it's the right thing to do. Apologies for being long-winded..my most recent shopping trip yesterday...in total I saved about a hundred bucks (which is okay...2 of my coupons wouldn't scan..basically I had over 100 items at one store and it averaged out to $1.31 per item along with freebies yayy). Overall, saving money is like a reward after all our prep. My son says he's not surprised anymore when I come home from shopping and it's helping him learn how to organize/budget/get some exercise unloading it and putting it all up. Life skills all around haha Thank you for sharing...Liked, Shared and Subscribed. :-)

I’ve been looking for inserts and I have asked couponers but no one really says anything, only to join a Facebook page🤦🏽‍♀️ I bought 4 news papers $15 just to get the inserts, that’s to much money. The coupons inside weren’t even that good. I will keep on looking and I know I will find something but in all thank you for this video🙃

(No more then $15- $20 cash going in the store). I’ve been going to the same locations many times to coupon to the point where they are calling me “coupon queen” when I walk in which gasses me up haha! I worked retail for years so I’m SUPER nice to cashier/staff. These tips were great! Thank you so much for always being helpful and nice!

    Another thing to mention is taking that extra time to prepare makes such a difference. You will leave money on the table otherwise. A pretty big TH-cam coupon channel has a woman who every single week goes shopping and doesn’t use the digitals because she didn’t look over her account. She just throws together deals, over pays and says “well if you need the items” NO! We can not afford to be out here dropping $5, $10 here and there. It adds up. We are here go spend as little as possible. Period.

    I haven't been couponing in a few months and this is my 1st video back, it was a quick reminder of why I loved you and your channel. Your break downs from secrets to actually doing deals are amazing the way you explain it all. I'm so happy you bought up about the addiction aspect. I don't even like to take my debit card. I have a limited say 50 bucks I try to use cash that way when it's gone I'm done and easier to track especially when doing multiple transactions. The stores I try to use the same ones around the same day and times so usual the same employees are there, if a line starts behind me between transactions I'll step to the side let them get the others taken care of then finish (that along with thank cashier's for their time seems to go far and keeps you from becoming "one of those" and in their good graces) and the biggest thing especially for newbies if a transaction doesn't work out DON'T JUST LEAVE ALL OF IT THERE. At least offer to put it back sometimes they appreciate it especially if they're swamped other times because of the respect and good relationship they say don't worry about it but at least ask (remember it was your mess to start with). I know some people have friends that share coupons, coupon fairies, etc but I found one of the cheapest ways to get the retail me not and P&G is if you live in an area wear they come in your mailbox with store ads on Tuesdays, talk to your mail carrier and ask hey if you have any extras can I please have some extras put in my box. Now almost every week I get 2 to 6 sets. (I also show I'm thankful by putting a sticky note on the mailbox from time to time saying thank you and especially when stores where bare when the pandemic hit hard I noted if there was anything I might be able to help with from my stock write it on the back of the sticky and what day they wanted me to bring it out.-granted he never asked for anything but the thank you and compliments seemed to be enough to keep the coupons coming.) Sorry so long I hope I'm not stepping on toes but these are things I've had to learn or figure out myself. And like you and your videos why let others struggle like us if we can give a helping hand. Granted I'm no coupon queen 👑 like you but I do ok.😉💵
