Coupon clip like a pro
Finding and clipping coupons is a quick and easy way to save on products you buy anyway. Most name brand companies publish coupons in an attempt to promote their products, or to make them more appealing to the everyday savvy saver. Some coupons make buying the name brand cheaper than buying a generic– those are the kind of coupons we’re looking for.
REAL double coupons
Very few people know that it is possible to use two coupons on products. For most brands and stores, it is possible to use a manufacturer’s coupon and a store coupon. It is important to first check with the customer service desk rather than a cashier for a more knowledgeable answer, but most stores will allow the use of two coupons if they are from two different sources.
Double coupon stores
The ordinary double coupon deals are rarely as good as they sound. Some groceries allow customers to use a coupon and receive savings equal to double the value of the coupon. These discounts are usually limited up to $.75 or $1. Unfortunately these deals are only found at high end stores, which might be more expensive than discounters even after the coupon. Double coupons are the best for products that normally do not have coupons, such as milk, bread, meat and most produce.Price match to save
Price matching is the best coupon known to man. Shopping at a store that allows price matching will let you get the lowest prices you see in your Sunday paper while making just one stop. Granted, not all sales are published, but the best ones generally are. Be sure to look for stores that price match to get the most out of each trip.
Other stores offer coupons as well
Groceries aren’t the only product that offers coupons. Department stores often run coupons for a discount after spending a certain amount of money, for example, save $10 for purchases over $50. These coupons are great if you plan on spending that much anyway, but don’t go out of your way to qualify for the savings, this is like spending a dollar to save a penny.
