5 ways to double your grocery coupon savings
Erin Gifford, a grocery savings expert at Shortcuts.com, lists these tips for getting the most out of your money-saving coupons:
1) Use Coupons for Your Entire Meal. Seek out coupons for every component of your meals, like Meal Deal coupons on Shortcuts.com. In one click you can load your store loyalty card with coupons for turkey breast, frozen vegetables, potatoes, crescent rolls, stuffing and holiday cookies. These coupons get scanned and redeemed at checkout.
2) Look for Double and Triple Coupon Deals. Kmart frequently doubles coupons up to $2 face value (to double to $4). (Kroger also offers double coupons.) Keep your eyes open, since in many cases these promotions can lead to free products.
3) Only Use Coupons on Sale Items. Coupons are like money so don’t waste them on anything that’s not already on sale if you want to maximize your savings. When what you need is on sale, stock up at that price.
4) Ask Whether Your Store Accepts Competitor Coupons. Retailers want to keep you from shopping at their competitor down the street and in many cases are more willing to accept store-specific competitor coupons, like those from Walgreens or Target. Ask the store manager, especially if the item you want is on sale.
5) “Stack” Your Coupons. To add to your coupon savings, “stack” a manufacturer’s coupon that you clipped out of the newspaper or got online with a store-specific coupon, like those you can get on Target.com or in the Walgreens EasySaver booklet. This is another great way to get free products.
