Save Money With Coupons

Have you ever used coupons? If so, you already know the more coupons you have the greater your savings at the checkout.

If you watch your Sunday papers you can get coupons on a weekly basis. Once you have those coupons watch for sales on the product.

Do your stores double or triple coupons? Ours doubles them and some times on certain days will triple them. We have one grocery store that even doubles $1 coupons certain times of the year.

Check out your stores coupon policy. Get in on the coupon savings and start saving money at the checkout! You can also check out some online frugal sites like refundsweepers.com which has around 30 money saving forums and refundcents or refundexpress which you subscribe to and get a refunding coupon magazine in the mail. Oh, I forgot to mention if your stores will take printable grocery coupons for name brand products you can print them at refundsweepers.com and at valpak.

Get the coupons, get them doubled and buy the items when they are on sale. If you don't have a coupon or the item is not on sale, buy the no brand names. Also, shop at dollar stores especially for gift wrap and holiday items.

Add your tips

People often do not realize the benefit of using coupons. Most families can save a good deal of money off their grocery bill with the use of coupons. Are they worth the effort, yes! Learn how to save the most with your coupons.

Check the coupon policies for the grocery stores in your area. Try to shop at a grocery store that will double the face value of a coupon. In our area some of our grocery stores will double the face value of a coupon to .50 cents. This means if I use a .50 coupon on an item and the item costs $1.00 or more, they will take $1.00 off the price of the item. If that item costs less then $1.00 I will get it free.

If the items you can get for free or almost free are items you will not use, you can give them to charity, give them out as gifts, or trade them on the bargains forum or the stockpile forum. A nice gift idea is to create a themed basket full of your unwanted items. An example would be a gift basket full of all baby products for a baby shower gift.

Watch your sale papers and try to buy your items when they are on sale. Use your coupons on the sale item when it is on sale and always shop at a store that will double that coupon. This gives you three ways to save on an item.
1. It's on sale when you buy it
2. You used your coupon to buy it when it was on sale
3. You shopped at a store that doubled that coupon

Be sure to check your grocery stores for extra savings such as in store points programs and reward programs where you earn points which later can be redeemed for free stuff.

Enjoy the savings!
