Coupon Basics

There are a few things to know about couponing. There is a proper technique how to use a coupon the right way.

  • Only use the coupons combined with sales.
  • Make sure you look at the stores coupon policy.
  • Get multiples of papers and print online coupons.
  • Stack coupons on top of sales.
    • Stacking coupons mean to combine a store coupon along with a manufacture coupon.
    • There are certain loop holes that work and do not affect the "coupon rules".
    • Here are some stacking tips:
      • If the item is BOGO (buy one get one free), and if you have a BOGO coupon, both of them are free!
      • If the item is BOGO, you can use 2 coupons for that item since you are buying 2. OR, if the item is not BOGO but you have a BOGO coupon you can use that also. To make it a better deal, along with that BOGO coupon, if you have 1 coupon for a certain $$ off you can use those also!
      • Only use the coupon when the item is on sale to get more value. 
      • If you have multiple coupons for items, do not feed into "one per purchase", it simply means "one per item". So if you have 5 coupons for body wash, go ahead and get 5 body washes.

So there is a few tips on how to get your foot in the door about couponing. Please ask questions if you have any!
