A few "BARGAIN" tips...

•BOGO = Buy One Get One….FREE (use a manufacture coupon on EACH item when you go to buy, even though you are getting one for FREE)

•Stacking coupons = Manufacture coupons + store coupon + sale (all used at the same time)

•You can only print the coupons ONCE (two prints per computer) until another promotion starts or the coupon resets. So, print it as soon as it's available because the companies only allow so many prints per coupon.

•Most groceries stores change sales on Wednesday’s or Thursdays. CVS and Walgreens change Saturday night or Sunday morning.

•Make sure you read the fine print on all coupons. Ask the store if they have a coupon policy in writing. (Wal-Mart does not.) Don’t be afraid of telling the clerk you don’t want something if you have read the coupon wrong. Most grocery stores are EXTREAMLY familiar with Mom’s that coupon shop. “Couponing” is BIG business right now.

•NEVER go coupon shopping when you are in a hurry. It takes a little extra time to make sure it is done right.
