Starter Coupon Tips! Tip #1

Coupon Tip #1

ALWAYS grab a coupon booklet (or two!) from your local drug store, or KMart ad. The coupons on your ads, or that are in these booklets are STORE coupons. 99% of the time, you can combine the store coupon with a manufacture coupon (this is called "stacking")
Sometimes you see coupons for $0.50 or $1 in your store ad, and you don't think you need to clip them, but sometimes you do! If they show a dotted line, clip them just to be safe!
These are known as store coupons. These are discounts the STORE is offering on the product. These coupons usually are only good for the length of the ad (usually 1 week).

Example-
In the Sunday paper, I got a ad for KMart. On the ad was a coupon for a 14 oz. can of Maxwell House coffee. The coupon says I can get a can of the coffee for $3.99 instead of $5.99

I also got a coupon flyer int he mail that week. It had a coupon for $1.00 off any Maxwell coffee.

If I put these two coupons together, I can get the coffee for $2.99 instead of $5.99. I'm saving $3.

HERE IS THE BONUS - a LOT of KMarts will double Coupons upto $1. A LOT, but not all of them.

If you happen to be near a KMart that does, the $1 coupon will be doubled, and you will get the coffee for $1.99. Awesome right?

Bigger deal - the coffee will stay fresh on the shelf UNOPENED for up to 2 years.

This would be a great item to stock up on!
