How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Shopping Like A Pro With Flipp ~ $100 Gift Card Giveaway

in Everyday on 08/30/17

 

This giveaway is open to Canada only.

It’s that time.  Time to get ready for back to school, and let’s face it, it can be an exhausting experience.  Running from store to store.  Checking things off your must buy lists, and hoping to find some deals along the way.  Back To School shopping can be both tiring and expensive.  Pens, pencils, pencil holders and binders really add up!  Getting your child ready to head off to University for the first time?  This takes things to an entirely new level.   Beyond the usual paper clips, markers, clothes, and books are a plethora of other items your student will need in order to set them on the path to being a successful, happy, contributing member of society.  Starting University or College is exciting but also comes with its very own, very long, shopping list, and it can seem a tad overwhelming.  Here are just a few of the must haves to ensure your student is Campus Ready:

  • Pillows
  • Mattress Pad
  • Sheet Sets
  • Comforter Sets or Duvet
  • Cozy Blankets
  • Hangers
  • Towels
  • Shower Tote/Caddy
  • Flip Flops/Shower Shoes
  • Robe
  • Stacking Drawers
  • Shoe Storage/Racks
  • Storage bins
  • Underbed Storage
  • Hooks/Hook Racks
  • Over-The-Door Mirror
  • Laundry Basket

So much stuff!  How do you survive it?  The shopping, the planning, the crushing feeling of so much to do and so little time?  and the desire to check all those things off the wish list without breaking the bank.  You need to take a deep breath, get organized and put a smile on your face.  You’ve got this.  Thanks to the Flipp app you can be organized, get it all done and save some money while you shop.  Are you ready to shop like a pro?  Here’s why you need to download the Flpp app now!

Flipp is my essential weekly shopping app.  It has all of the tools you need to bring you the most savings every week from your favorite retailers.  This easy to use app allows you to browse through the weekly circulars you love or search for the items you need to get the most savings. I’ve been using the using the Flipp app loyally for years for my grocery shopping, now it was time to get it to work for me as I help my daughter pull together everything she will need to organize her dorm room, bedroom/bathroom space!  Let the search begin!

Here’s how to use the app to hunt down some great deals before your kids head off to school this fall.

Step 1: Make Your Shopping List

Plan your shopping trips ahead of time with the ultimate shopping list. Build your list and then Flipp will find you local deals to make saving easy.   My shopping list this time around consisted of all those things we still needed for my daughter’s dorm room.  I sat down one night, (while watching a movie) and searched the flyers for the specific items we needed.

Step 2: Collect Clippings

Whether you’re browsing circulars, searching for items or creating your shopping list, with one easy tap you can clip the items you need to stay organized. While you’re browsing, just Tap an item in a circular to clip it for easy access while shopping.  In no time at all, I’d found almost everything I needed.

Step 3: Collect Those Coupons

Maximize your savings using coupon matchups with local circular deals.

Step 4: Go Shopping

The Flipp app helped me organize my shop into just a few stops and I knew exactly what I needed to buy in each store.  As I purchased my items, I could check off items on my shopping list.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Savings

Thanks to the Flipp app I can actually see how much money I’m saving.  I know I’ve found the best deal in the city on binders, pencils, storage containers, hangers, towels and sheet sets and those savings really start to add up.  I save $34.57 on this trip alone.  That’s $34.27 that can go right into my vacation fund!

Remember:
