Couponing Basics
Guest Post from Cheryl at Making Cents Out of Coupons
Are you wondering, “Is it really worth it? Can I really save money by using Coupons? Isn’t the store brand cheaper than using a coupon on a brand? I’ve tried coupons before and they just don’t seem to make that much difference…”
There is more to couponing than cutting out a couple of coupons you think you might use! If this is your current way of doing things you may save a small amount, only to become discouraged!
In order to maximize savings at couponing, you must keep/cut the coupons from the inserts (and anywhere else you find them) and hold on to them until those items go on sale! If you do this you can get items for 50% off and more… even FREE!!
The general consensus seems to be that product prices will fluctuate on cycles that are about 6-8 weeks long. During that cycle a product will hit its lowest price and that is when you want to buy enough of that item to get you through to the next cycle. When a product is at it’s lowest price in that cycle (you’ll know it will be in the advertised flyers and you will soon learn what that price is) you will use coupons in addition to the low price to increase your savings even more on that item!
For an example… if your family uses 3 bags of frozen vegetables a week, at regular price that is about $1.50 a bag or wait for low price with a coupon and get them FREE, or close.
3 bags @ $1.50= $4.50/week x 6 week cycle = $27
3 bags @ $0.00-.67= $2.00 x 6 week cycle= $12.00 (at the highest)
A savings of $15.00
That’s one product and you have saved $15. Now think of the other 200 products that the average family buys a month. Even if you didn’t have coupons for all of your items, if you wait until the product is on sale to purchase it you are still saving.
