John Battaglia, a 20 year old Brock University student, began to strive to save money aimed towards helping his parents to shrink the grocery bill without having to sacrifice, and the couponing bug bit. Battaglia got into couponing out of need but it eventually grew into his passion. Soon he found himself making money past shaving grocery bills and helping the needy. We don’t know much people who choose to help people over personal lavishes. Battaglia who consistently scours through web, newspapers and flyers from grocery stores for great ideas says that he loves to help people. He further added: “I use my own tips and tricks cleverly to stockpile then I donate the goods once a month.” Extreme couponing is pretty interesting and Battaglia admitted that over the time he made donations of non-perishable items costing over $1500 to a youth-shelter - Brock University Students’ Union Food First program and Community Care. Battaglia’s Couponing Tips & TricksThere’s a lot to do when it comes to extreme couponing but the approach changes over time. Battaglia mentioned that he used to do paper flyers but now he is more active on mobile phone and apps for almost anything. To be specific, cash back deals, paper coupons, price matching and points are most significant for saving. Speaking of consistent saving, Battaglia has some tools for weekly couponing research i.e. mobile phone apps like Caddle and Checkout51. Extreme couponing don’t just go around instantly, it takes perseverance and patience. Key to extreme couponing is waiting for the right kind of sale, don’t waste your coupons while items are bearing full price, he added. There’s more to it, loyalty programs also tend to work like Air Miles & PC points. Register for email offers to get added discounts. Every extreme couponer has this one secret tool and in Battaglia’s case it’s the price-matching deal-hunting tool. To better understand the strategy, Battaglia explained it with an example. If a pasta sauce is priced at $3.40 a jar at one store but it’s on sale for $2 at some other store then he checks if it’s listed on his Checkout51 app so he can upload the receipt when he makes the purchase, dragging the price down further. He further added that he will look up for deals on almost anything, but that varies every week. Like a cereal box was priced at $6 at the Store, he got the superstore to price match the cereal box at $2 because it was cheaper at this other store. This way he got three boxes while paying the price for two only. He is also associated with a network of ‘couponers’ who provide him coupons more suitable for his donation needs in exchange for his unused coupons. Battaglia said: “people were supportive and happy to serve the cause” Extreme couponing is like a game its exciting and also saves you bucks. It can be even pursued as career if you are passionate enough and got the kills. Battaglia is also intended to turn his love for couponing into a career, supporting low-income students, families and senior citizens.
