Couponing: How to Organize in the Store

While I have posted a lot about coupon apps and deals, I am asked questions about organizing the shopping. 

I used to compile a list with symbols indicating quantity, which type of coupon applies, and which rebate apps apply. 

When I'm shopping at Publix, I utilize their app. The app has the ability to show the current ad and other products. If you select the exact store, it will tell you where to locate each item. 

In the weekly ad section, you can search for an item or look at the categories. Each item has a plus (+) sign to add to your personal shopping list within the app. 

Once you select an item, you can see it in your shopping list. The shopping list is customizable. You can add the quantity and notes. This is where I make notes about manufacturer coupons, store coupons, competitor coupons, and rebate apps. 

 That's my secret. Not so classified but very practical.
