ORGANIZATION

I quickly had to come up with a solution so as not to bury my house in little paper cutouts. I looked around and found some ideas that were helpful…. I ended up with a fantastic coupon binder.

Getting the Most for your Coupon Buck

You’ve got ‘em…they are organized…. now USE ‘EM!!!

1) Shop the sales!! Remember when we first got started and I told this?? Now is the time! If you use your coupon for an item that is already on sale… you are stretching your coupon dollar even further. Find the items that are on sale, and buy several of them while they are on sale… you won’t have to pay full price for them when you “need” them later. I recently purchased a Glade Scented Oil Candle Warmer at Target for -$0.50!! They were on temporary price reduction from $5.00 to $2.50. I had a $3.00 off manufacturer’s coupon. I got the item for free…and had $0.50 that was “used” towards another item.

2) Stack your coupons. Many stores like Target, Food Lion and CVS print their own coupons for items. You can use one of these PLUS one manufacturer’s coupon per item. Scotch Fur Fighters (which work really well by the way!) are currently $9.99 at my Target. I had a $4 off MF coupon and a $4 Target Coupon. I got this product for $0.99! That is a 90% savings!

3) Buy small. You can save LOADS more money buying several smaller items and using several coupons than if you used one coupon on a “jumbo” or “economy” size. For instance: Trial sizes of Gillette Satin Care shave gel (2.5oz) are $1.00 at Target. Regular sized cans (7oz) are $3 or $4. If you use a $1.00 or $0.55 off coupon on the trial sized…and buy 3 this way… you are either getting it for free or spending $1.35. If you buy one of the regular sized can and use one $1 or $0.55 off coupon…you are still paying between $3-4. See where I am going with this?
