Skakavac told Narcity that she first got into couponing in mid 2020 and that it seemed like "the natural next step on [her] journey" as she'd always been interested in saving money.

"For the best savings I always start with the weekly flyers and go from there to see what I can price match, get points on, or combine with coupons and cashback," she said.

She has some advice for those who want start saving on their shopping, too.

"I recommend you start with the basics," she explained. "Shop the flyer and look for sale prices at a store you already frequent. If there’s one in your area, consider shopping at a grocery store that offers price matching [...] Check if your store has a discount section for bakery, produce, meat, and other items to snag quick deals on staples."
