5 Tips To Using Coupons
– You can save 75% or more on your grocery trips by using coupons!
1. Be Organized – Only use coupons if you are going to keep them organized, preferably in some kind of filing system. (Show 2 types of filing systems)
2. Only use coupons with sale items – Using coupons alone is not a good deal. Only use coupons in conjunction with sales or clearance items for the best price.
3. Get multiple coupon inserts – Recommended: 1 insert per family member – In order to save the most, you want to get multiples of items when they are on sale so you can stockpile. You can only use one manufacturer coupon per item, so the more coupons you have, the more of an item on sale you can purchase! (Show sample coupon inserts)
4. Keep ALL coupons – Don’t throw away a coupon unless you wouldn’t want it for free, or give the free item away to someone else. It is a great way to be able to give to others. Give to places like: The Sudanese Center, Second Harvest, Grace Works, local food pantries
5. Don’t be brand loyal – When using coupons you need to be flexible with your brands in order to save the most. To save the most, you use the items that are on sale with a coupon.

My local grocery store (Shop-n-Save) does not accept internet coupons. And Walmart in my area only accepts certain ones. Now what?
Amanda – Just be sure you shop the sales, stock up and be consistent about meal planning. Utilize coupons when you can, but use every other resource and consider them a bonus.
