Here are Coupon Cutie's top tips on saving every day.

Join loyalty programs to save

Most stores have free loyalty programs where you can earn points or get discounts just by scanning a card or app. You'll want to always sign up, so you have access to extra savings.

Stocking up

If you can, don't wait till you're on your last jug of laundry soap to get more. Most likely it won't be on sale when you need it. Whenever you see a good sale, stock up on essentials.

Watch the flyers

If you like to watch for all the best deals in one place, use the Reebee app. They have all the flyers in one place, so you can easily find the best deals l on your phone. 

Another great place to look for discounts is following CAA NEO on social media. We are always announcing great deals on everything from clothes, food and entertainment.

Install money-saving apps on your phone

The Flashfood app has quick expiry food items deeply discounted. It'll show you what's available at your local store, then you order it through the app and go pick it up. Also, the FlashFood app is a great way to help with food waste.

If you haven't already, make sure to download the CAA app on your phone. It has a useful map that will show you all the stores, entertainment, and services nearby where you can save.
