There are thousands of<br />

coupons available everywhere.<br />

You just have to look in the right<br />

places. To get started collecting<br />

<br />

know how many products you<br />

want to buy or stock up on. You<br />

should also have a good idea<br />

of the number of times you buy<br />

this product per year. Follow the<br />

<br />

while on sale and use a coupon<br />

with that sale item. This will give<br />

you the most for your money.<br />

You will need to know how<br />

many of each coupon you need<br />

to last you 6 months or a year.<br />

For example, if you buy XXX<br />

brand of shampoo, and you<br />

use 12 bottles per year,<br />

you know you need 12<br />

coupons. This is called<br />

“stockpiling.”<br />

If you use one brand<br />

of shampoo, then look<br />

at that manufactures<br />

website. Almost all high<br />

volume producers of<br />

consumable products have<br />

websites. Check the website for<br />

<br />

or “coupons.” Most can only be<br />

printed once every 3-6 months.<br />

You can spend quite a bit of time<br />

searching for one coupon at a<br />

<br />

the coupon you need. There<br />

<br />

Facebook fan pages for items.<br />

While online you should<br />

check your local grocery stores<br />

sites. Most will not only their sale<br />

items but printable coupons.<br />

The Frugal Coupon Wife:<br />

Saving Money Makes Cents<br />

by Sheila Robinson<br />

Where to<br />

Find the<br />

Coupons<br />

You Need<br />

Some are in store coupons,<br />

and some are manufacturer<br />

coupons. What I like about<br />

in store coupons is you can<br />

stack an in store coupon with<br />

the same like manufacturer<br />

coupon. By combining two<br />

<br />

be getting double the savings<br />

or even better savings if you<br />

store “doubles” manufacturer<br />

coupons.<br />

Take a look at your pantry<br />

before your shopping trip.<br />

Many packages have printed<br />

coupons on or inside the packs<br />

themselves. By getting in the<br />

habit of checking before you<br />

throw any container out, you will<br />

<br />

already purchase on a regular<br />

basis.<br />

Check out online message<br />

boards or forums that others<br />

<br />

frugal shoppers and many will<br />

even swap with you. They may<br />

not purchase the same type<br />

of product as you do, so they<br />

are willing to trade. Keep all<br />

the coupons that you do not<br />

intend to use out of your<br />

Sunday paper for trading<br />

purposes. There are<br />

coupon clipping services<br />

online that you can use.<br />

Whilst selling coupons<br />

is illegal; charging for the<br />

time spent to collect and<br />

organize the coupons “is”<br />

legal.<br />

Do not forget the phone<br />

<br />

many coupons for restaurants,<br />

car washes, and laundromats.<br />

There are always great coupons<br />

for saving at local stores and<br />

services inside the phone<br />

book and many times they go<br />

unclipped. Many magazines<br />

have coupons. ALL YOU<br />

<strong>Magazine</strong> is a great source for<br />

coupons.<br />
