- Check your weekly ads and remember that some stores run ads for 2 weeks at a time.
- Check shopping receipts immediately after you check out to look for pricing mistakes. Compare the ad advertised price and the in-store shelf advertised price.
- Price matching
- Couponing (always check for stores with a double coupon policy)
- Check bottom of receipts for special offers. Many stores provide frequent percentages off.
- Check advertised price vs. price you receive at check out
- Check the store policy on items which do not ring up accurately. Some stores will give you the first item free that rings up inaccurately.
There are many useful sources from which you can get money back or collect points toward purchasing items or gift cards. The sources I prefer and am currently using: Rakuten (formerly ebates), MyPoints, Fetch, Shopkick
