Speaker 1 (00:07):
From WBZ News Radio in Boston. This is New England Weekend.
Each week we come together here and talk about all
the topics important to you and the place where you live.
Thanks for joining us again. I'm Nicole Davis. Look, I'm
just gonna be honest with you. There is not a
clearance shelf out there that I do not enjoy. I
don't care what kind of store I'm in, it doesn't matter.
(00:28):
I'm just gonna walk past there. I'm gonna take a look.
We'll give it the once over, probably not gonna buy anything,
but sometimes, just sometimes there is a gem sitting there
and you think, why has nobody bought this yet? Clearance
shopping is not for everybody, and I know that bargain
shopping is not for everybody, but there is definitely a demand.
(00:49):
You look at stores like TJ Max and Marshalls. You
don't really know what you're going to get necessarily when
you're in there, but if you find the best bargain, yeah,
you're gonna grab it. Clipping coupon used to be the
way you could do that. Sometimes you'd have to sit
around the table for hours clipping and finding all the
circulars and getting the newspaper and going to the store.
It was quite the effort. If you didn't know, there
(01:10):
are a bunch of influencers out there on the internet
teaching people how to find the best deals, maximize their money,
provide for their families, and not sit around clipping coupons.
Considering all the talk and the concern about tariffs and
the fact that prices are still high, I wanted to
find an expert to give us some good advice. So
enter Julia Belkin. She is on TikTok, She's on Instagram.
(01:32):
She's under freebies and more. You might follow her already
or have seen her content. She lives in Boston, and
she is here now to give us some advice. So, Julia,
thanks for the time. Before we get into it, I
want to know what led you to become a freebie,
deal bargain influencer. I'm so curious about that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So you know what's funny is I've actually been doing
this about ten years now. A little bit longer is
when I first started my Instagram, I overdrafted at the
grocery store one day. My card declined when I was
still in college, and I remember thinking I never want
to go through that again. So I went home and
I googled how to save money, and the first thing
that came up was couponing, and so I just decided, Hum,
(02:14):
this sounds interesting. I want to get really good at this.
So that's how it started. And back then, you know,
when I was still in college, it was all paper
coupons essentially. There were maybe a couple apps here and there.
The world of couponing has changed dramatically in that time.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, I believe it. Everything seems to be online these
days and apps.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Everything is digital.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's hard to keep track of it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Frankly, No, it really is, and definitely, and the same
thing with couponing. You know, it's almost like people would laugh,
you know when you'd show up at the grocery store
with thirty clipped coupons. But now instead you just have
thirty apps on your phone that you need to submitter
receeat to this one and you need to scan the
product and another one. You know, it's just a different
type of functionality. Basically, do you think.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's really been helpful? Like, has it helped you save
a lot of money over the years.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I have person only saved thousands of dollars, thousands of
dollars every single year. I save an unbelievable amount of money.
I haven't paid for toothpaste, shampoo, deyodorant at toilet tries
in years like truly zero dollars. It's a little bit
harder to do that sort of thing with food, But
in my opinion, anywhere you can save money is a
great area to put the savings towards another area you
(03:21):
can't save in you know, like car repairs. Unfortunately there's
no coupons for those.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well that's a shame because I could really use one
right about now. But it's always the stuff you really need,
right I mean, you're right, we use toothpaste all the time.
And I see creators like you out there on TikTok
and Instagram talking about how you know you've got your
stashes and like literally having not paid for toothpaste for
a while, that's got to be a huge load off
your back to worry about.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh for sure. Yeah, it's called the stock pile in
the coupon community or stockpile. Definitely. Getting that built up
is like considered a major act of you know, it's
a major accomplishment to do that. I person focus on
things that I use more frequently as a single person.
For example, some people are more likely to go through
laundry detergent, so they'll really focus on that. As a
(04:09):
single person, do not use that much, so I don't
focus on it as heavily, but I focus on the
things that I'm using a lot, like shampoo. I'm using
a lot of you know, perfumes and things like that,
and that's the sort of stuff that I focus on.
But you know, building up a stockpile is a fantastic
way to save money. It's a great way to kind
of almost be quote unquote recession proof because you've gotten
it all at the low low price of free or
(04:30):
very cheap, when other people are more subject to the
fluctuations of pricing.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And we're about to see a lot of that with
those tariffs. So let's kind of talk about getting into
bargain hunting. It seems a little overwhelming at first, and it's,
like you said, it's not like running around clipping coupons
anymore like it used to be. But how do you
even know where to begin?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It for sure can be very overwhelming. I have a
beginner series that I like to call sort of like
the three apps that you should really start with. And
the three apps I recommend that everybody get that's sort
of like set you off on the right place is
going to be. First, I bought it. I bought it
is for sure the absolute easiest app in the world's use.
It's a rebate app. You can scan receipts on it,
(05:12):
you can scan products to verify. It's a very very
easy app to use and a great way to save
a ton of money. The second app that I recommend
is actually not a coupon app, but it's called flip
Flipp And with flip you can actually search all flyers
in your area for the cheapest products and the deals
that week. So for example, you could search Eggs and
it'll pull up every flyer within a fifty mile radius,
(05:35):
you know, whether you're looking at you know, Stop and Shop,
Star Market, Costo, you know, anything nearby, and it will
price comparison for you. So that's a great way to
save some money there. And that's a third one I recommend.
Kind of varies based on the individual person. You know,
it kind of depends whether you're doing more online shopping
or whether you're doing more in store shopping. But for
the sake of it let's say in store shopping. So
(05:57):
in that case, I recommend Fetch f E T H
and Fetch is very similar to I bought it. It's
a rebate based app and it's going to give you
fantastic rebates in the form of points towards whatever you purchase.
I also obviously recommend always having the store apps on
your phone, for example CBS, Star, Market, Stop and Shop.
Those apps have fabulous coupons right inside them that you
(06:18):
can click to your card and then when you scan
your card, they'll apply automatically at checkout.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And it does take a little bit of time each week,
Like you probably can just go into CBS or Market
Basket or whatever and just expect to have everything right
up in front of you. You do have to do
a little bit of planning, but it seems like it's
worth it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
For sure. There's some legwork involved. It gets easier the
longer you've done it. It's almost like right now I
can look at a flyer and almost like it visualize
the deal in front of me. So for me now
it only takes a couple of minutes to really do
my full weekly and then of course not including the shopping,
but my full weekly breakdowns I call it. But once
you start getting better at it, and the longer you
(06:55):
do it, the faster you'll get. But definitely the beginning,
you know, set aside a couple hours to look through
the flyer. Flip has made it way easier to do
that and praise comparison against all the deals and then
stack that with coupons you have. So it's definitely made
it easier in the digital age, but still expect to
spend a couple hours getting used to it, familiarizing yourself
with the deals in your area and the products you
(07:17):
need the most. I also really recommend people always do
kind of an inventory at home of what they're in need,
of what they need to deal on, and what they
use the most of.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I feel like sometimes when you are couponing, you almost
have to settle for something that's kind of like what
you normally use, Like I wouldn't normally use this brand,
but it's still deodorant, so I'm going to use it
for sure, Or toothpaste, like is there a way to
do it without really sacrificing the brands and flavors and
stuff you like?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Unfortunately, when it comes to getting the really good deals,
you do have to be pretty like brand agnostic. You
can't have like a strong attachment to like one particular
scent of tide. You kind of have to be like
pretty neutral to it all. I'm not a particularly fussy,
go for me kind of whatever works works. I don't
really care too much for people who are more like
brand lill and really have something they look for more
(08:02):
consistently and are a regular repurchaser. Of what I recommend
doing is like really getting those brands top of mind
and then really looking for deals on those every single
week and stocking up when the price does drop.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Okay, and I feel like changing, or I feel like
the couplonding world is changing a little bit, because it
feels like to me back in the day, like you
were talking about the clipping coupons and the circular from
the store and all that, but it seems like rebates
are more the way that companies are going these days.
Do you feel like that's the case.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I absolutely think that's the case. I think rebates and
store coupons, which are based like usually within the app
of the store for example, like against CBS, Star Market,
Stop and Shop, that is definitely becoming the most popular
way I will say rebates right now are really big.
There are apps that aren't even on your phone yet,
like one called Aisle that's very popular that you may
(08:52):
see around Like, for example, if you go to the
grocery store, you may see a flyer that says, oh,
get a free box of you know, cheese, it's this week,
and the rebate will then automatically apply once you scan
the QR code sort of thing. So you know, there
is that expectation now that a lot of brands are
expecting you to pay out of pocket and then they'll
reimburse you post purchase.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Now, I think that there's a concern when it comes
to data because you know, people are worried about giving
away their data to these companies. Is there like a
security concern you have to think about when you're doing this.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I typically think about my data, and I worked in
cybersecurity for years. I typically think about my data for
the most part as being something that is pretty much
a free floating thing, and realistically it's always out there anyway,
because somebody really wants your data, It's going to be found.
It's going to be discovered the most part. For the
most part, like you know, just keeping yourself safe and
(09:43):
not in putting things like you know your your social
Security number. None of these apps ask for anything like that.
None of these apps even ask for your bank account information.
All you really need is a PayPal which is extremely secure,
so you know. The most you might get, in my opinion,
is maybe some spam text or an email here in there.
But in my opinion, it is worth the risk for
(10:03):
the reward.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Best advice besides downloading the apps and giving yourself the time,
if somebody is listening and they're like, okay, look, prices
are about to go up, they're already high. We live
here in the Boston area in New England. It's already
super expensive to live here. What would you advise people
to do and how would you advise them to get
into this?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
So the main thing I recommend obviously is giving me
a follow. Yes, I do a lot of easy beginner deals.
I do a lot of like in store shopping, you know.
I go live pretty often too, and I talk to
people about the beginning stages of saving money and like
really how to start that. Obviously, with my name being
freebies and Moric cover like a whole host of things,
not just extreme coupon. And you know, a big thing
(10:42):
I've been talking about lately is the tariffs and how
that's going to impact people even on a level of
everything from our clothes to our accessories to our car parts.
So you know, there is definitely a lot of movement
and discussion right now in the economy, and that sort
of thing is something we're just going to have to
bear with. But really, I recommend, if you're starting from
square zero, really start with what am I using? What
(11:05):
can I use less of? What brands do I not
care about? Like truly think about that. Like, for example,
most people are really not loyal to one particular toothpased.
I find that's one area most people are pretty flexible in.
So as a result, toothbased is something there are a
lot of deals on because brands know that most people
are not super committed to their toothpased, so they can
kind of persuade you with a good deal towards them.
(11:25):
So really keeping your eyes on the flyer hitting me
with that follow and make sure download the apps I've
been mentioning and talking about. Those apps will help you
save a ton of money. You know, I bought a
fetch You can even just search in the app store
rebate apps, and there will be even more than that
that will come up. And most of those apps will
allow you to submit the same receipt to multiple of them,
so there may be a dollar rebate on I bought
a fifty cent rebate on fetch and a twenty five
(11:46):
cent rebate on checkout fifty one, and you can kind
of clear house and get all three.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Now have you found more people coming to follow you
in the past, I don't know, a few months or
a few weeks because of all this.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I will say there was a huge influx when I
first started talking about the tariffs. People are definitely very
nervous about that. They are really keeping their eye on it.
I've been honestly so busy with some other things have
been going on, and in my own life, I haven't
been posting as much recently, but the terrafts are definitely
something that people have been really keeping an eye on
and not something I'm seeing a lot of discussion about.
(12:18):
So that's something, you know, that's really drawing people in
and honestly making them nervous obviously in relation to how
much more is this going to cost me? You know,
in some states and another thing I'm seeing is a
lot of people talking about the price of eggs. Obviously
with the bird flu, that's not so much economically based
as it is like sort of situational where the bird
flu is running rampant right now, so prices are through
the roof, you know, when eggs are eight bucks a dozen.
(12:39):
I have a whole series on saving money on eggs
right now because they are so expensive. So that's another
way that I'm seeing people really starting to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, well, they can follow you on Instagram and on TikTok,
so drop us your screen names here, your usernames and
how can people find you?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yes, so make sure to hit the follow button. Freebies
and more over on TikTok all one word and freebieson
more with underscores over on Instagram. I just hit a
million last year. Make sure to be one of them.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Hey, I love it all right, Well, Julia, thank you
so much for the time and happy saving.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yes, thanks so much.

None of these apps even ask for your bank account information.
All you really need is a PayPal which is extremely secure,
so you know. The most you might get, in my opinion,
is maybe some spam text or an email here in there.
But in my opinion, it is worth the risk for
(10:03):
the reward.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Best advice besides downloading the apps and giving yourself the time,
if somebody is listening and they're like, okay, look, prices
are about to go up, they're already high. We live
here in the Boston area in New England. It's already
super expensive to live here. What would you advise people
to do and how would you advise them to get
into this?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
So the main thing I recommend obviously is giving me
a follow. Yes, I do a lot of easy beginner deals.
I do a lot of like in store shopping, you know.
I go live pretty often too, and I talk to
people about the beginning stages of saving money and like
really how to start that. Obviously, with my name being
freebies and Moric cover like a whole host of things,
not just extreme coupon. And you know, a big thing
(10:42):
I've been talking about lately is the tariffs and how
that's going to impact people even on a level of
everything from our clothes to our accessories to our car parts.
So you know, there is definitely a lot of movement
and discussion right now in the economy, and that sort
of thing is something we're just going to have to
bear with. But really, I recommend, if you're starting from
square zero, really start with what am I using? What
(11:05):
can I use less of? What brands do I not
care about? Like truly think about that. Like, for example,
most people are really not loyal to one particular toothpased.
I find that's one area most people are pretty flexible in.
So as a result, toothbased is something there are a
lot of deals on because brands know that most people
are not super committed to their toothpased, so they can
kind of persuade you with a good deal towards them.
(11:25):
So really keeping your eyes on the flyer hitting me
with that follow and make sure download the apps I've
been mentioning and talking about. Those apps will help you
save a ton of money. You know, I bought a
fetch You can even just search in the app store
rebate apps, and there will be even more than that
that will come up. And most of those apps will
allow you to submit the same receipt to multiple of them,
so there may be a dollar rebate on I bought
a fifty cent rebate on fetch and a twenty five
(11:46):
cent rebate on checkout fifty one, and you can kind
of clear house and get all three.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Now have you found more people coming to follow you
in the past, I don't know, a few months or
a few weeks because of all this.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I will say there was a huge influx when I
first started talking about the tariffs. People are definitely very
nervous about that. They are really keeping their eye on it.
I've been honestly so busy with some other things have
been going on, and in my own life, I haven't
been posting as much recently, but the terrafts are definitely
something that people have been really keeping an eye on
and not something I'm seeing a lot of discussion about.
(12:18):
So that's something, you know, that's really drawing people in
and honestly making them nervous obviously in relation to how
much more is this going to cost me? You know,
in some states and another thing I'm seeing is a
lot of people talking about the price of eggs. Obviously
with the bird flu, that's not so much economically based
as it is like sort of situational where the bird
flu is running rampant right now, so prices are through
the roof, you know, when eggs are eight bucks a dozen.
(12:39):
I have a whole series on saving money on eggs
right now because they are so expensive. So that's another
way that I'm seeing people really starting to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Okay, well, they can follow you on Instagram and on TikTok,
so drop us your screen names here, your usernames and
how can people find you?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yes, so make sure to hit the follow button. Freebies
and more over on TikTok all one word and freebieson
more with underscores over on Instagram. I just hit a
million last year. Make sure to be one of them.
Speaker 1 (13:07):

so much for the time and happy saving.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yes, thanks so much.
