i have always used coupons, working at longs/cvs for 11 years i have learned from customers how to get good deals on stuff. but the past month, i have really focused on learning more about saving more. as you may know i have been on medical disability from work for 6 months already, and i will continue to be on disability for another 2 months. this means not a lot of money is coming in, which means i have to try and save anyway i can.
where to find coupons:
-Sunday newspaper- ( buy one out of a machine or get a subscription and have it delivered.)
-target- go to target.com scroll down to bottom of main page, click coupons, and print the coupons you need.
-grocery stores- also have coupons on their websites, print them before you go.
-drug stores- also have printable coupons on their websites
-coupons.com- (i use this site weekly)
-couponsuzy.com- (has most of the same coupons as coupons.com, but some different ones too)
-ebay.com- (yes people sell coupons on ebay and for cheap! perfect for when you want x10 of something)
the key to couponing is only buy something when its on sale & you have a coupon.
you get twice the savings this way.
if you have coupons & its on sale buy several, you may not need them all right then, but you will sooner or later and if you buy it with a coupon & sale now, you will avoid paying full price later.
to find out what is on sale before its actually on sale will help you plan for the weeks ahead, so you know what coupons you need and when its best to use them.
the three sites i read daily to find out the best deals are:
- iheartriteaid.com
- iheartcvs.com
- iheartwalgreens.com
the sale ads are posted weeks in advance, i write a list of items i need/want and put it in an envelope with the matching coupons. then when i go to the store, i only buy what is on my list. if you stray from the list and impulse buy you will spend money you shouldn't.
if you have an iphone get the free app "a full cup" it is a discussion board where people talk about sales, coupons and how to get the most merchandise for the least amount of money.
you don't have to be a member, you can just lurk like i do ;)
if you have any questions, leave a comment or email me @ vanityexposed1@hotmail.com
i am happy to help you anyway i can.
