Abstract: A new shopping technique called "supershopping" which systematizes couponing and refunding to maximize savings and collect cash and free gifts is discussed. The smart shopper should always make a list and stick to it, check for sales, be cautious about promoted bargains, and compare prices. Coupon power is achieved by scanning newspapers, magazines and specially marked packages, and then arranging them for easy reference. However, refunding is the heart of the supershopping system; refund coupons should be obtained, and consumers should keep almost every part of a package that may be requested as proof of purchase (box tops, cap liners, front panels, etc.). Shoppers should join or form couponing clubs and subscribe to refunding newsletters, and they should also watch out for perfectly usable but nonfood free gifts offers, such as t-shirts and toys.
