Market Place Strategies and Ideas...
There are several tricks to knowing your market. We all live in different place and different states therefore we all have different shopping habits and locations to shop at. Here are some main points to consider when mastering your "own" market.

* First and for most learn your store policies. Know what their coupon policy is and how it works. This will save you a lot of time and money when problems arise at a checkout stand in a grocery store. Listed below are some general ideas of things you should know about a store you want to shop at. This is mainly for grocery stores but, can be applied anywhere you shop.
1. Know if your store price matches.
2. Find out if your store takes coupons.
3. Do they double or triple coupons?
4. What is their policy if it is an item on sale and you have a coupon for it?
* Get on mailing list or sign up for newsletters. If you are not one to like junk mail this is a good reason to learn to like it. Often, mailing list are the best way to hear about all the good sales and deals coming up. For example: get on a mailing list to your local mall. Hear when all the sidewalk sales, clearance sales and specials are coming up. Some of the best deals I have ever gotten are because I heard about it from a mailing list or newsletter.
* Take advantage of the Internet. The Internet is the most amazing research tool you could ever get your hands on. Google items you want to buy, price compare on the web. And don't forget to research coupons on the Internet.
Sign up for credit card companies that offer extra benefits. We have all heard about frequent flyer mileage but there are so many more reasons to register your credit card with a company that offers rebates and discounts. Such as certificates for free dinners, free nights at hotels, coupons for a certain amount of money to be spent a certain stores. You can get a list of credit card companies that off er reward programs at www.indexcreditcards.com and www.creditcards.com .
* Be willing to change your shopping habits a little. You might enjoy shopping at a different store and driving a little father to a grocery store that might double or triple coupons. That would add up to tons of MONEY in savings. Be willing to try a different brand. One that might be on sale and you can use a coupon with it. However, store loyalty will also help you know if you are getting a good deal or not.
* Learn from the pros. Register to get newsletters from The Savings Queen and other pros like myself. Follow this blog as well as, www.thesavingsqueenshow.com Check back weekly for new ideas and tips.
* Lastly SHARE your ideas and things that you have learned. When you figure out an awesome trick tell your girlfriends and family. Sharing what you have learned can really help you progress vastly. Especially when others share with you.
* Keep in mind one thing, Savings Queen Number One Rule: If you don't need it, don't buy it. Just because it is on sale does not mean you have to buy something. Unless there is a purpose to that purchase don't buy it.
Good luck, enjoy and have fun in your market.
