Everyone knows that clipping coupons can help save money on items used daily, but what many people don't know is that a little time in front of the computer can save them even more.
By day, Amy Yates-Garmatz is an NBC human resources manager, but when she leaves the office she's a super saver.
"Hundreds of dollars a month," Amy Yates-Garmatz stated.
Amy and her friend Laura Hanlon are a dynamic dollar-stretching duo. "We can go in and have 150 dollars worth of products and walk out for a dollar 38," Laura Hanlon described.
Like so many savers, Amy and Laura start by clipping coupons, but then they go one step further by checking online blogs to find stores where those same items are already on sale.
"We just go to the blogs and look at the sales that are going on that week and match our coupons up," Hanlon stated.
When looking at one of their receipts, it became apparent that they received more than $100 worth of stuff for $1.34. It's enough to make the two girlfriends giddy. "Yeah, I get so excited I have to have an empty bladder," Hanlon said. "You're crazy if you don't do it. It's easy. Anyone can do it," Yates-Garmatz agreed.
