Couponing

I've recently had a request to share my couponing knowledge! It's a hobby I aquired last spring and have been working on perfecting it ever since. The basics behind couponing are simple. The main idea is to find on sale items at your local store and match those sales with current coupons for those items. This can be done at any store in any area.

Some stores I have learned will double the value of manufacturer coupons which makes every deal even better! My local store, Pick 'n Save, doubles coupons on Wednesday. There are qualifications to doubling though. Pick 'n Save requires you to have a minimum $25 purchase AFTER store sales and BEFORE manufacturer coupons. You can request a coupon policy in your area to make things easier.

I have also learned that there are several sites that provide the current sale with coupon matchups for you. This makes couponing much less time consuming! I however, have found out that different matchup sites may have different matchups. I would advise to follow more than one site for this reason!

This is the basics of couponing. For more information you can follow the links below.
