Tips For Buy One Get One Free Coupon Savings

The economy is making it difficult for many us to do everyday shopping for necessities, let alone the ability to splurge on luxuries. An amazing way to save money is using coupons. I know exactly what you're thinking. I also was one of those people that grunted and groaned every time I had to wait for someone to sift through their enormous stack of coupons. But that was before I had an eye opening experience at the grocery store one day. A lady if front me handed the cashier her stack of coupons and waited for her total. Being behind her I could hear the cashier tell her that her savings for the day were seventy dollars. After picking my jaw up I asked her how she did it. She simply smiled and said "buy one get one free coupon."

Finally it was my turn at the register. Having no coupons to present for my purchases my total came to much more than the coupon ladies and I had a severely smaller amount of items than her. I grumbled all the way home and swore I would find out about the coupon gold mine.

I can remember as a child wanting to go somewhere but having to wait until my mom was done cutting out her Sunday newspaper coupons. I grumbled then as well. Now on a mission I figured what better way to start looking into the coupon hype than with the Sunday paper. I found a coupon for almost every item I normally purchased as well as coupons for getting my oil changed and one to try the restaurant down the street.

I admit I was excited over my finds; however, the excitement really hit me when I found a coupon for an expensive spa I had been dying to try but never had the cash for. The coupon was for "me and a friend" to get free massages with purchase of pedicure and manicure. That was the most relaxing three hours I ever spent with my sister. We got treated like royalty for three hours at cost of a measly thirty dollars. This experience convinced there really is something to this coupon thing. I am now hooked and do my fair share of holding up the line at the grocery store.

The grocery store is a great place for using coupons, but the ones available for restaurants are really great. There are coupons available for pizza, fast food and fine dining. Before using the coupon read it thoroughly as sometimes it will be only valid on certain days and times or on specific items.

Coupons will vary in their amount as well. Some will offer a certain percentage off a total price or you must buy a specific product in order to get a discount on a different product. If you find a coupon for fifty cents off of a bag of bagels when you purchase a specific brand of tofu, however, you do not eat tofu; it would not be worth using the coupon. Saving fifty cents is nice but not if you have to spend five dollars on tofu that will be thrown out.

When cutting out coupons for the week you should put aside a couple of hours to make sure you read them and cut out all of the ones you intend to use. Sunday is a great day to spend a few hours sifting through the newspaper for coupons or you can go to an online site and request specific coupons to be sent through your email.

Coupons will make a big dent in the final cost at the cash register. You have to be dedicated to finding them and using them. Store ads will often times offer buy one get one free coupon for weekly items so check the store ads as well as the newspaper and online.
