Great Tips for Successful Couponing!

1. Look for coupons in the Sunday newspaper, in magazines, in your mailbox, at the grocery store shelf, on the Internet and with your cash register receipts.
2. Keep those scissors nearby as you go through the newspaper, so you can clip as you go.
3. Call manufacturers’ 800 numbers (often found on the packages of your favorite products) to request coupons. Up to 35% of manufacturers only send coupons upon request.
4. Use a coupon organizer to sort coupons and keep it with you at all times (for those “unplanned” shopping trips).
5. Organize your coupons in the order that you shop the store for quicker savings trips.
6. Make coupon-clipping a family affair–it’s a great math and savings lesson for the kids.
7. You can involve them in the process and let them ‘earn’ the coupon savings in lieu of an allowance.
8. Use coupons with shorter expiration dates first to stock up on necessary items.
9. Shop on double or triple coupon days and use manufacturers’ rebates to realize additional savings.
10. Plan your families’ menu using coupons. Use coupons in conjunction with loyalty/frequent shopper cards from your local retailers.
