Suggestions For Buy One Get One Free Coupon Savings

The economy is making it difficult for people to purchase the items needed let alone items that luxury and not must have products. I was one of those customers moaning and groaning as the person in front of me sorted through coupons looking for one valid for each item in their cart. That was before I heard the savings of a customer in front of me one day. The lady had just saved almost seventy dollars on her purchases. I broke down and ask how she managed to save that much money. I knew she had coupons, I just was not aware of the type. She told me the best ones she had were the buy one get one free coupons.

My total purchase was tremendously higher than the customer in front of me and she had triple the amount of items as I did. Frustrated and curious I made it my vow to go home and research this coupon using thing so I also could save money on groceries.

I found coupons for things I never dreamed would have a discount available. As a kid my mom spent half of every Sunday cutting coupons from the paper, but I had no clue just how much money she was saving by spending our Sunday cutting coupons. I though what a better way to start than how mom did it, so I sat down with my paper and began cutting coupons for restaurants, car care and even a pack of diapers I could buy for my grandson.

My greatest find was for a spa I had wanted to try out but never had the money to go. This coupon made me really see the coupon light. According to the instructions printed on the coupon if I brought a friend to the spa we could both get free massages with purchase of a manicure and pedicure. After basking in my find, I called my sister who agreed to spend the thirty dollars needed to go to the spa. We spent three glorious hours being completely pampered for thirty dollars; I am for this reason an avid coupon user.

It is possible to find a coupon valid for anything at any time. The hard part is deciding which ones will be used. If you eat out several times a week, there are coupons available to save you hundreds of dollars a year on pizza, burgers and specialty restaurants. It is important to read the restrictions of coupons used for restaurants prior to trying to use them. Some will require a specific food item or only a one topping pizza, however, there are some that are buy one meal and get another one free.

Before cutting out the coupon for groceries, read them completely. Some will have the savings in bold letters but farther down it will state another purchase must be made to make the coupon valid. For example, save fifty cents on a package of bagels if you buy a package of tofu. It is a great deal if you eat tofu. If you do not eat tofu and will only throw it away, you really did not save any money. If fact you spent more than you would have with simply purchasing the bagels.

It does take time to find and cut out all of the coupons you will need, but if you use them it will be well worth the effort. Newspapers are the best place to start your coupon collection. Sunday papers are loaded with them. If you prefer to get your coupons online, there are sites that will send them directly to your email.

Coupons will make a big dent in the final cost at the cash register. You have to be dedicated to finding them and using them. Store ads will often times offer buy one get one free coupon for weekly items so check the store ads as well as the newspaper and online.

If I can't buy a laptop, then these electronics coupons are good too because gadgets are the next best thing for me to get as gifts for myself.
