Coupon Tip: Print 'em like you need 'em!

Dollar Stretched Tips On:

INTERNET PRINTED COUPONS

 Print 'em like you need 'em (then double 'em!) and here's why..

Do you tend to pass by coupons because there isn't a current sale for the specified item and/or you just don't think you need the item at the time? I NEVER do this! Come and read up on why I always 'Print 'em like I need 'em!'

Late last week I posted that the $1/1 Charmin and $1/1 Bounty printable coupons were scheduled to shut off on December 30th. And I urged everyone to print them before they are gone. Even though I did not need toilet paper or paper towel yet, I made sure to print out my (2) available prints of each plus I also had a $1/1 Charmin and $1/1 Bounty clipped coupon from the Sunday P&G Insert. Printed coupons are usually good for one month after print date, plenty of time to use them.

Between being sick and the holidays were going on, some how I missed that Charmin and Bounty were a part of the current Buy 5 Save $5 promo at Pick 'N Save. 

When it comes to the pricier purchases, I prefer to be well stocked up and never miss scoring a great deal! I'm going to show you the break down with the coupons followed by what it would look like had I not printed them - because you never know when it will be on sale again!

(REMEMBER, TO DOUBLE COUPONS YOUR TOTAL MUST REACH $25 AFTER STORE SALES AND PROMOS, BUT BEFORE MANUFACTURE COUPONS. ASSUME WE HIT $25 BY ADDING SOMETHING ELSE INTO THE PURCHASE - DOUBLE COUPON DAYS ARE WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY)

More reasons I print 'em like I need 'em...

• Short time span - an excellent example of this is the new $4/1 Bic Razor click to print coupon that became active today but gets shut off on Saturday. Coupons could come and go and you may not even notice!
• Unexpected store sales and promos - you wont find every last store promotion and all the deals in the store's ad. You never know what you might come across  when shopping for something else. This also brings me to my next reason..
• Clearance - most stores accept manufacture coupons against their clearance items as long as it's within the coupon's terms. This is one of the easiest way to score freebies and money makers!
• Cash Back Rebates - new rebates pop up all the time in Ibotta, SavingStar, and CheckOut51 - doesn't hurt to have matching coupons handy!
