All about Couponing
So, I'm sure a lot of you are woundering how on earth people get free products or products for a very low price. You see the coupon sites but may not know how to stay organized or when to use coupons on your daily shopping lists. In the Sections below I will be explaining some tricks and tips when it comes to couponing off of just my own experience alone.
A lot of these big coupon sites they have multiple people working and adding to the website. For me, when there is only one person I am only able to do so much a day. Some days I will have more post then others and I also update the freebies section a lot more then this page for coupons. I only do this because there are many coupons that change daily on these site and that's something that you need to look at and order unless it is a hidden coupon which means the only way you can see it or order it is through the link that I will post.
My 5 Tips to Couponing
In this section below I will be explaining some tricks and tips that I find have always helped me when it comes to saving on your grocery bill.
1. Always check the expiry dates! Coupons do expire and sometimes quick.
2. Printing coupons is faster. If a sale is going to end soon and you need that coupon asap.
3. Don't forget to check newspapers and flyers for coupons! (RedPlum, p&g)- ON
4. Read the coupon Policy - May not be valid at certain locations, one per customer ect.
5. The biggest one that i can share with other people is always read your flyers!! Once you have started to accumulate many coupons, then you can make it a habit to get your coupons out once a week when the flyers come in and see if you have any coupons for an item that is on sale that week. In some cases its $1 off and the product is on sale for $0.99. You just need to keep your eye open and always check your flyers.
How to stay Organized
One of the most important things about trying to coupon is knowing how to stay organized. For some, this may seem impossible and some people just have something in them that comes to them naturaly.
First off your going to need to either buy a binder with those dividers with slots in them to organize the different categories of coupons that there will be when you start stocking up, or just one folder you can keep all the coupons on. This is what I do but then I separate the categories with paper clips. So all the cleaning products, pet supplies, beauty products etc. are sorted together then put in an envelope.
You can also buy mini coupon organizers from walmart or the dollar store. One last suggestion would be to not cut the coupons and just keep the papers in a file folder and cut them out when you need them. Everyone will have there own way of doing it you just need to find whats best for you.
