Using Coupons - 7 Ideas to Keep
1. Buy a minimum of two Sunday papers each week that will help you build your coupon base. You can usually discover the Sunday paper in bundles of two to renegotiate deals price. Many papers will also sell their unsold papers for a discount during the following week.
2. Find and bookmark a few couponing blogs that you like to read. Couponing blogs are a great supply of encouragement as well as little tidbits of useful information. The bottom line is to locate blogs that you simply enjoy enough to visit on a regular basis and which you feel comfortable enough using the posters to have interaction.
3. Find and bookmark all of the (truly) free printable coupon sites you can find. Since almost every printable coupon site has a limit of two prints per coupon per computer, you can either have to make use of multiple computers or multiple sites if you need to print a lot more than two coupons. Not only do you want to use sites that are free, you need to use sites that do not request any private information (unless you like spam).
4. Know your store's coupon policy and a copy along with you when you shop. Understanding the policy will save you from being embarrassed at the checkout for inadvertently violating the policy. Using the policy with you enables you to insist that the store follow their policy advertising media are right into a cashier (or perhaps a manager) that does not know the policy. Being able to prove the the policy can occasionally mean the main difference in getting the bargain or going home empty handed.
5. Create a grocery list and stick to it. Whether or not you utilize coupons or otherwise, shopping from the list saves you money because it deters impulse buying. Impulse buying absolutely cuts in to the savings you get by using coupons. Don't do it.
6. Locate sources of free coupon inserts such as family and friends who haven't learned the value of couponing. Have them save their inserts for you. Search for places where one can obtain discarded inserts. One place that is a goldmine for discarded inserts are recycling bins at apartment complexes.
7. Utilize in-store coupons such as "blinkies", "peelies" and "catalinas". Blinkies are machines next to products within the store that dispense coupons. Peelies are coupons attached to products. Catalinas are the coupons that print at the register.
