Saving is good, clean fun!

• To compound your savings, you can use the printable coupons from our coupon page or newspaper coupons in these transactions for additional savings.

• Start a coupon collection for items your family uses regularly - organization is key!
• Many of you may be wondering how some people seem to save so much money shopping with coupons.  Here are a few things that they do. They print as many coupons as they possibly can (usually 2 per computer but, sometimes more...it doesn't hurt to hit your back arrow and "Resend" one more time to see if you are allowed more).  The other thing they do is accumulate as many newspaper insert coupons as possible.  Some do it by buying several newspapers.  Some ask at their local newspaper office for any leftovers.  Even more purchase coupons online at sites like ebay and couponclippers.  Ebay is pretty cheap.  If you bought 20 coupons that were for $1 off toothpaste for $2.  That is like paying $.10 per coupon.  If you know of a sale where the same toothpaste is $1, you could buy 20 tubes of toothpaste for $2.  The trick is to know what is going on sale and buy the coupons with enough time to spare for mailing. 
• The other thing the pros do is combine coupons with store sales.  They also go to sites like hotcouponworld to learn what Catalina coupon deals are printing at their local stores.  Sometimes you can match a store sale with a manufacturer coupon and then get a Catalina coupon at checkout.  Here is an example:  The week before Thanksgiving I bought I Can't Believe Its Not Butter sticks for $1.99 at Albertsons.  I had internet printed coupons for $1 off 1.  Albertson's had three coupon doublers in their ad.  I used 2 of those with 2 of the $1 off 1 printables.  I ended up making $.02.  Then, the Catalina machine at the register printed out a $2 coupon to use on any item at Albertson's.  I went back and bought a gallon of milk with the CAT coupon.  In this way, I got 2 boxes of margarine and a gallon of milk for FREE.  I did this deal 2 times.  I suppose I could have done more but, I just didn't have time.  Don't feel sorry for the store when you get a great deal.  They are completely reimbursed for the value of every manufacturers coupon (plus a handling fee).  Catalina coupons are manufacturer coupons also and therefore, they don't hurt the store at all either.  They only increase their sales.  If a cashier ever treats you poorly, or acts like you are hurting their store, just smile and kindly "educate" the cashier on how coupons work.  Stand up for yourself (and any coupon users who will surely come after you) and be firm!
• Pick up coupons wherever you see them.  Many times you will see coupons at your local grocery stores for items that are not on sale.  They may be on a store display or a shelf- attached coupon machine.  Take this as a sign that this item WILL be on sale soon at a store near you.  The same is true with newspaper coupons, they tend to preceed sales.
• Don't use a coupon until you are sure you have a great deal (unless it is for an item that you need right away).  Many times I went ahead and used a coupon for what seemed to be a good deal.....until the next week when it would have been much better!
• The savings will add up slowly at first.  You will still have to buy all of your regular purchases along with your fantastic deals.  Over time, your stockpile will grow and you will spend less and less.  During your first week you might get 10 bottles of shampoo and 6 tubes of toothpaste.  The next week it might be a ton of pasta and sugar.  The deals will change every week.  Soon you'll be having a hard time finding places to put it all!

• Be sure to set the default print setting to 'grayscale' to help conserve ink, and use recycled paper; it doesn't matter if anything is printed on the backside of the paper. 
  
• Most online coupons allow you to print two per computer, just click the back button on your browser.
