Here's Where You Can Get More Coupons
If you’ve ever seen a show like Extreme Couponing, you may be wondering how you can go about spending less on your groceries and put that savings to better use for your family. Coupons are an effective way to cut spending, even if you keep it simple and just save on things you already purchase- no stockpiling necessary.
We’re going to show you where you can find some great coupons for groceries and other items you regularly use.
Online Printables
There are tons of websites that offer manufacturer coupons for products of all kinds, and they’re only a click away. More prominent coupon sites like RedPlum and Coupons.com will provide printable coupons without any strings attached- no accounts or sign ups necessary. Manufacturers have long used these sites to connect with customers and potential customers to gain more exposure to their products.
Get Them Directly from a Manufacturer
Similar to online printables, you also have an ability to simply search for your favorite products and find the manufacturer’s website yourself. Once there, you can navigate your way to a coupon tab or page, which will likely prompt you to sign up for emails with special offers.
The Sunday Newspapers
The newspaper is an excellent resource for coupons. They come full of pages and pages of manufacturer coupons that not only pay for the newspaper subscription, but also add the extra convenience of having it delivered straight to your door. Typical inserts will include one for Proctor & Gamble, SmartSource, and RedPlum, and most products you find in those inserts are ones you likely use on a daily basis.
Grocery Store Ads
Many local stores will deliver weekly ads that share their grocery specials, while also offering coupons on some products. It’s a great idea to plan your weekly shopping list and meal plan around these weekly ads so you can coordinate all of your meals with the sales.
Magazines
Magazines make for a nice and easy read, but they are also filled with ads for products, recipes, and coupons. If you receive magazines in the mail, next time, peruse through the pages to see if you can find any coupons for products you’d like to use, or try. Even better, ask friends and family for their recently used magazines if they plan to discard them.
Directly on the Item
As you walk through the grocery store aisles and shop, keep an eye out for coupons that are directly placed on products. Most times, they’ll be stuck to the front of the product. A good rule of thumb is to take them off the items before placing them on the scanner at checkout. Cashiers may not notice them at first, and fail to scan them.
Now that you know the many ways you can accumulate great coupons to save for your groceries, household items, and personal items, it’s time to put them to use! We hope you’ll experiment with using coupons to your advantage on your next shopping trip!
