Tips for couponing
- Before you spend your coupons and get some freebies, it's time to get collecting in whatever way you can. Digital coupons are especially cool because they are completely free - all you need to do is print them out. There are apps on phones that even have CVS coupons nowadays and they are simply scanned by the salesperson in the store to be activated. There are so many deals out there - from half price items, buy one get one free and much more. When looking for the best couponing websites, do your research and even chat to other couponers to get advice. This ensures that you get the best and as many digital coupons as possible.
- All coupons have fine print and it's really important to check these to see the expiry date and other 'conditions' that there may be to use the coupon. Some coupons might only last for a couple of days for example, so use them while you still can. If you want to get serious about couponing, storing what you collect is really important. You could use a binder, putting the ones that expire first towards the front so you know they have to be used soon.
- Some coupons will trick you so it's important that you check the original price of the items in the stores, to ensure you are actually saving money. Some places can be very sneaky with their pricing techniques, using a coupon to get an item for $1.00, when it's only $0.98 in the first place is ridiculous but it does happen because customers are not knowledgeable on these tactics.
