If this sounds interesting to you, please complete the following homework assignment with your application:

Please write either one grocery or one retail post:
Head to the grocery store of your choice and find a grocery deal that has not already been posted on The Krazy Coupon Lady. You’ll want to find sale prices plus coupons and/or rebate apps that stack together. The goal is to save at least 50%.

OR

Head to a Retail store you like shopping at, or are familiar with, and write a post featuring a deal you found.

Instructions

1. Before you leave for the stores, check out The Krazy Coupon Lady. Be aware of the deals we’ve already posted—we want to see something new from this assignment.
2. For the Grocery assignment, check our Coupon Database to find coupons and rebate offers that you can stack with the sale prices that you find at the store.
3. Take a couple of pictures of each product (include the sale price, if possible).
4. Once you get home, build your post using KCL’s formatting as much as possible.
5. For the post, write a short “beginner-friendly” intro, add a title, and featured image, and calculate the final price.

Tips

Notice how we write our titles.
Notice the picture format... They are wide, bright, and easy to read.
Notice the formatting of the body of the post.
Notice the deal construction (deal formula)... This tells readers how they can save money (and is critical).
