Couponing Tips I've Learned

For couponers these are the things you need to know about!

1) Get a subscription to ALL YOU Magazine. It is worth it! This magazine is sold at Wal-Mart and comes with all kinds of vaulable coupons in it.

2) Buy at least 1 Sunday paper, I buy 2.

3) Find a recycle center near you to raid their coupon inserts.

4) Check online blogs daily or at least a few times a week. Blogs such as the krazy coupon lady or Totally Target. To the right of my blogs you'll find links that lead you to these places.

5) Print coupons at home. You can go to various websites such as Target.com or most manufacture websites and print off coupons from those sites. You can also check coupons.com and those coupon blogs will have links on them to where you can go to print out certain coupons.

6) Be prepared. When you go to the store, make sure you have the coupons you want to use in an envelope, paper clipped together something, so that it will be easier to get them at the check out. Also making a list of what you need with a note to the side $1.00 off will let you know how much your getting off of that product incase you don't know how much the store costs for that product, so when you go and look you will be able to tell whether it's worth it or not.

7)Keep up with your local deals. Every week different stores changes the prices on their items. They put out different sales each week. Walgreens and Target have a weekly flyer that you can get at the front of the store, in Target it's buy the return center. It tell's you what's on sale that week. Usually it doesn't list everything that's on sale, they just highlight things that are. So you may find more deals throughout the store as you shop not mentioned in the weekly ad.

8) Clip, Clip, Clip. The more coupons you get the more clipping you will be doing. It's best to have a system so you don't want to pull your hair out when your done, or near done! So like for instance, sort your piles of insert with like inserts, so you can clip the things that are alike. Then move to another insert once you get the first stack of like inserts clipped. It takes time and patience, 2 things I don't always have lots of.

9) Know when your body is telling you to STOP! You can push yourself over the edge couponing. Really you can! I know! I was clipping coupons till my back and legs were sore and I was ready to pull my hair out and scream. It's best to do what you know you can do and not push yourself too far. Couponing can be a chore, so make sure you have time for it when you sit down to do it. Cause you can watch the hours fly by!

10) Last, but not least. Learn when enough is enough. You can have so many coupons on the same thing and end up buying 10 of the same item because you have such great coupons for that item. Stock piles are great. But in reality there comes a time to stop. If your overflowing with BBQ cause there only 42 cents right now at certain places, sometimes it's just best to let a coupon go. I know extreme couponers would frown on that. But I really don't see the point in having 20 bottles of BBQ! There are some things differing from person to person like shampoo and conditioner, lotion, soap, or shower gel that it seems like you can never have enough of these. I like to keep my cabinets full of as many of these as possible, because we go through them fast. Just so the items are not going to go to waste, also you can donate excess items to charities and local shelters. I just don't see any good sense coming out of having thousands of toothpaste bottles, or BBQ, sometimes enough is enough!
