How to Save Time & Money Shopping
About 2 years ago, my husband and I decided that I would stop practicing law full time and start focusing on the blog and being a mom. This has made me a happier person because I have been able to realize my dream of being home to raise my daughter. However, it has made things a little tighter than we were used to financially. We have learned a few ways to saving money when shopping for everyday things that we need.
Saving time and money is extremely important when you want you are planning your financial independence. There is a #my360independence sweepstakes which you can enter by sharing the ways you are charting a path toward financial freedom, you’ll be entered to win one of sixty-one $1,776 prizes! Visit http://bank360.com/my360 to participate in the sweepstakes by submitting a photo or post that showcases what you’re doing, or will do, to be more financially independent.
First, we subscribe to a few items on Amazon where we receive 20% off subscription items like diapers, wipes, cereal, paper towels, vitamins, and toilet paper. We chose these large items that we use every month because they are bulky and it makes weekly shopping trips to the grocery store much easier.
I downloaded coupon apps like Cartwheel, Retail Me Not and Shop Your Way. You can check for coupons while you are in the stores. I prefer to do it this way so the coupons do not determine where I shop or push me to make purchase I would not normally make. Also, always ask the sales associate if there are any coupons or discounts that are going on that you could use to save extra money. They might have one sitting behind the counter.
Then, I save time and money by looking for items online rather than going from store to store searching for them. Also, if I am in the store I am more likely to purchase items I do no need. Shopping online can save time and money as you can stay focused.
Don’t forget to enter the #my360independence Sweepstakes by sharing your ideas for achieving financial independence by submitting a photo or ideas here: http://bank360.com/my360.

How do you save time and money?
I like to take my time when I am shopping, but I love saving money!!
Anything I can do to make shopping quicker, easier, and as painless as possible is a plus. Retail Me Not and similar sites are great for helping make that happen.
I love the subscribe & save from Amazon!
Retail Me Not is great! I love that site. Good call on always asking about deals at the counter. You never know what kind of discounts you’ll get.
I’m the shopper in the family, although it’s not my favorite thing. Anything I can do to make the process quicker, easier, and cheaper is a plus for me. I’ll definitely be looking into Retail Me Not and the other sites you’ve listed.
I love the subscribe and save option on Amazon! I use that a lot as well as Cartwheel and other coupon apps on my phone!
I am always looking to save time and money when shopping. Though I will spend more time to save more money. I consider my money saved the payment for my time spent researching.
