The Grocery Guide and Hot Coupon World have partnered together to provide the grocery guide as an additional tool to help our members find the deals. This tool is great for those stores here at HCW that do not have a mod or a lot of activity as far as deal postings.
The following is the FAQ's and Tips from
www.GroceryGuide.com FAQ's Q: I see coupon codes in the sale item descriptions. What do they mean? A: The codes in the description of the sales is:
wql - While Quantities Last
AC - Ad Coupon (coupon in a store ad)
AC-M - Manufacturer's Coupon in the store ad
ISC - In-Store Coupon (coupon located in the store or on the pkg)
NC - Newspaper Coupon
Q: How do I use coupons? A: "Coupon Assigning"
When making a shopping list, you will at times see a (#) in the "Coupons" column of the list. Simply hover over this coupon count (numbers of coupons that match this product). Doing so will open a box showing you the matched coupons. Place your cursor inside this box and click on the coupon that you would like to use (some have more value, or maybe you only have one of the coupons listed). This will assign the coupon to the sale showing you the coupon #. When you save and print your shopping list, the coupon location and information will print on it's own page.

Q: Why is Walmart not available? A: Instead of doing weekly ads, Walmart chooses to match other stores sales. Because we only show weekly sales, Walmart will not consistantly appear.
Check with your local Walmart to verify that they do match other local stores sales. If so, you can make a shopping list with other stores in your area, and take it to Walmart for matching.

Q: My sales are loading slow, why? A: There are a few things that can cause your list to load a little bit slow.
1. The fewer stores that you are using to create a list, the faster the load time. Remember, each store averages around 150 - 200 sale items. When you are selecting 6 stores, you are selecting about 1000 items to be loaded.
2. The faster your internet connection is, the faster our site will load. Like #1, 1000 items will not be really fast, but on a slower connection, it can be even slower.
3. A slow list can also be caused by running out of cache. Clearing it will increase the speed of the load time.
Q: "Find" Coupons A: When looking for a coupon, you will either see a number or a link that says "find".
If it is a number that you see, click on it to see the coupons that match this sale item. Then click on one of them and your done.
If you see a link that says "find", then simple click on that link. A window will appear with coupons showing that are similar to your sale items. If you see on that is a match, just click on it. The window will then close and you are set.
Then just print your shopping list. The last page that prints will be your coupon index giving you any details about each coupons as well as where you go to get it.
