Stacking Coupons for the better deal!

I started couponing about 2 months ago and let me tell you, I never had all the name brand items in my house until now!. The Secret? Clipping and stacking coupons!!!

Each week I start out looking for any and all deals I can find, Via in store ads, online and wherever I can look. I subscribed to the local paper and also buy a St Louis Paper, I clip all coupons I will use, even if there isn't a deal for them that particular week.  I keep them all in a binder (see my binder section)

The trick to getting the best deals are to stack coupons, and by this I mean a store coupon (walgreens, cvs, target etc...and a manufacture coupon used together.  A scenario I came across last week for instance

Target had Vaseline Lotion on sale for 2.69. I had a 1.00 off target printable coupon  and a 1.00 off manufacture coupon, which made it .69 cents when I used both!...That is stacking coupons!

I also get the ads for the following week and match them with any coupons I have and try to find a store or manufacture coupon to stack it with!...some coupons are just too good not to use by themselves, for instance I had (4) $3.00 off tide stain release, and walmart has them for 3.96, so yep, I bought four of them at 96 cents each. 

Keeping coupons until they expire is ideal, just in case a deal pops up, and target and walgreens bot have clearance items NOT in the weekly ad, so always take your coupon binder with you!.

Happy Couponing!!

Where to get good deals on coupons (helpful Hint!)

I personally buy coupons in bulk on ebay for $1-$3.00 with shipping, I bought 20 of the $4.00/1 Proglide razor and it paid off today when I bought 18 of them for 1.00 a piece! Look on ebay to buy in bulk (20 plus coupons of the same item) it really pays for itself!
