How, exactly, does a shopper achieve that? It involves a strategic combination of matching high- value coupons to low sales, then using multiples of coupons for those same items. Toss in coupons for free products and use any coupon overage (where the coupon value exceeds the cost of the prod- uct, giving you "extra money" to apply to other items you’re pur- chasing) and you’re well on your way to shopping like a pro. Here are a few more secrets of TV shopping trips, and how you can apply these techniques to your own grocery bill. Focus on ‘Buy One, Get One Free’ coupons Using BOGO coupons will obviously allow you to take home two items for the price of one – a great way to add multiple items to your cart but only pay for half of them. And, if you can combine those BOGOs with an in-store pro- motion you can cash in on even bigger savings. Catalina promotions are a couponer’s friend. Anytime a store runs a Catalina promotion offering money back for buying specific items included in the sale, it’s a great opportunity to stock up and actually receive money back at the end of a trip. A recent sale at one of my local stores advertised "Buy $25 worth of participating cleaning products, receive $10 back for your next shop- ping trip." This is already a good deal, but remember that the $25 total purchase require- ment is typically pre- coupon. I used several BOGO coupons for a variety of cleaning prod- ucts, and after coupons my total for the $25 worth of products dropped to $11.48. After paying, I dramatic. But you can use the same tips I’ve outlined to reduce your own grocery bill each week. Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen received a $10 Catalina coupon printed out at the register good for $10 off my next shopping trip. Coupon shoppers consider this kind of Catalina almost as good as cash. Factoring that Catalina in, I paid just $1.48 for $25 worth of cleaning products! It’s fun to work Catalina promo- tions into a TV shopping trip, too. Not only do I aim for a low total at the register, but I also get money back in the form of a Catalina. It’s icing on a coupon-shopper’s cake! So how can your own shopping trip match that of a professional’s? First, understand that not every week’s shopping trip will be so My weekly grocery shopping trips average between $40-$60 for my family of five. However, I usually buy more than $100 worth of groceries before coupons. That’s about a 40-60 percent reduction in my grocery budget every week, which quickly adds up to big sav- ings! Anyone can enjoy great savings by matching coupons to sales. But, when you hit a great sale in which everything lines up well, you may have rea- son to brag. Just this week in one of my Super- Couponing classes, a shopper proudly showed me the receipt from a recent shopping trip. She’s only been coupon-shopping for four months, but she’s already expertly matching coupons to sales. Her receipt? She bought $47 worth of products. After coupons, she paid just over $2 for every- thing! That’s a trip even a TV pro would be proud of! Jill Cataldo, a coupon workshop instructor, writer and mother of three, never passes up a good deal. E-mail your own couponing victories and questions to jill@ctwfeatures.com. Safety first on the Fourth With warm weather and family events, the Fourth of July can be a fun time to create great memories. It also can be a tragic time for fires and critical burn injuries. CalFire would like to remind all Californians that before your family celebrates, make sure everyone knows about fireworks safety. “Fireworks not only create significant dangers to citizens when used improperly or illegally, but also increase the demands on fire departments and fire- fighters,” said CalFire Director Del Walters. “We recommend that you and your family make memo- ries by attending a local professional fireworks dis- play. If you live in a jurisdiction that allows fire- works, only use legal fireworks displaying the ‘Safe and Sane’ State Fire Marshal seal and follow com- mon sense practices to ensure your Fourth of July holiday remains festive and safe.” Consumers who choose to purchase legal fire- works need to obey local laws. State fire officials urge you to check first with your local fire depart- ment or jurisdiction to find out if fireworks are per- mitted in your area. If you live in a community that allows the use of State Fire Marshal approved “Safe and Sane” Fire- works, make sure you only use those fireworks where you purchased them. It is illegal to transport, store, use, sell or possess fireworks where they are not allowed or are illegal.

Senior tolerance for individuals that transport, possess, store, sell or use fireworks in the wildlands or com- munities where they are prohibited and illegal. The celebration of the 4th of July should not be an excuse to put Californians at risk of fire or injury. Follow these fireworks safety tips: • Use fireworks outdoors only • Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them • Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from the house, dry leaves, and flammable materials. • Always have water handy; either by hose or bucket. • Only use fireworks as intended. Don’t try to alter or combine them. • Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes and soak it in a bucket of water. • Adults should always supervise fireworks activ- ities. Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks. • Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers. • Think about your pet. Animals have sensitive ears and can be extremely frightened or stressed on the Fourth of July. Keep pets indoors to reduce the risk that they will run loose or get injured. Remember that fireworks are not toys and they should always be used in a safe and legal manner.
