Not Getting the ‘Peelie’ Coupon
Some products have coupons attached to them that you peel off and use for a discount. Often, the “peelie” has already been removed from products at the front of the shelf, said Gault. “Just reaching a little further back for one that still has a peelie can save you money right now,” she said.
Not Using Your Supermarket’s App
Most grocery stores have free apps you can use to score supermarket savings on the go. The app is an easy way to keep track of digital coupons while you’re in the store — especially if you didn’t do it at home.
Sometimes, stores offer personalized coupons on their apps based on your shopping history. For example, you might get an offer to save 67% on a particular produce item that’s not on sale otherwise, Gault said. “Some digital coupons are for free groceries, possibly something you were planning to buy anyway,” she said.
