The Czar thinks coupons are a mixed blessing as we endeavor to reduce our grocery expense !

Coupons are sometimes a wonderful thing as long as you know your prices !!  The problem that The Czar sees over and over again is that the consumer has jumped on the “coupon mania bandwagon” and races down the aisles purchasing what the manufacturer wants you to buy and only those items.

Believe me the manufacturer is not the “Tooth Fairy” bringing you these coupons just because you are a nice person, they crave market share and will use whatever tactics or promotions to gain YOUR MONEY !

When The Czar observes a shopper that is really trying to do the right thing by using this “magical coupon” they usually do not even look at the competition that may be located directly above or below or beside this “magical coupon” item. The .50 cent coupon that may actually double to $1.00 is dangerous because we take our focus off comparing prices thinking wow,I just saved $1.00.

The Atlanta Grocery Shopping Czar is all about SAVING YOUR MONEY !

Most of the items listed on The Czar’s list do not have coupons. The reason The Czar lists items that do not require coupons is simple, think about the number of items we purchase on our visit to the supermarket that NEVER HAVE COUPONS !!

Here are a few items that come to mind: shrimp, steaks, ground beef, milk, garlic powder, light bulbs,pork chops, tomatoes, potatoes,strawberries,butter,eggs and many, many more items ! The Czar lists the items so that you keep MORE OF YOUR MONEY!!!!! By educating you “our valued customer” you will no longer continue to overpay for a product that may cost 30-50% less right across the street !

If you are willing to be proactive and follow our methods you will be the winner, not the grocery store. If The Czar has an item listed that has an available coupon you may rest assured that you just made a very sweet deal !!

The Czar helps you “KNOW THE RIGHT PRICE”.
