Frugal Column
Here we go with another season of TLC’s “Extreme Couponing” show. The television show has created an overwhelming interest in couponing with thousands of people now for the first time ever clipping coupons. This show could have been a positive way for people to learn how to save money instead it became a show that portrays the negative examples of couponing. I would love to say what happens on the show can actually be reality but it is not. During the show you will see consumers buying up to $1000 worth of products for around $10. What you don’t see is some of the misleading tactics used to get this high value of savings. Remember just because it is on television doesn’t mean it is right. In past shows participates where using expired coupons along with matching coupons with the wrong product. Sometimes the cash registers don’t beep allowing expired coupons to go through but remember a store does not get reimbursed for these coupons not a practice that I teach anyone to try. Whether you are a seasoned couponer or just a beginner follow these coupon etiquette lessons on the unspoken rules of couponing.
Do not be a shelf clearer. This is when you buy every product on the shelf leaving nothing for the next person. For an example on Extreme Couponing premiere a women bought over 100 candy bars and when a gentlemen asked for one she said “NO”. Think of other people who also want to be able to get the great deal you just got. Share the savings.
Try not to go shopping during peak times. If you are planning to do a big coupon shopping order it is a nice courtesy to go when you will not hold up the line.
Treat the cashier with respect. It’s possible you know more about coupon policies than they do. If there is a problem and you know the coupon should work, ask politely to speak with a manager.
Follow the rules. Before you hand over a stack of coupons, make sure they are not expired.
I always tell people that there are coupons all over the store you just need to keep your eyes open. If you see a tearpad or blinkie coupons don’t take all of them. Let other customers get in on the deal.
Read the wording on the coupon. Manufacturer’s usually put a picture of their most expensive product on the coupon to make you think that is what you have to buy. If you read the terms on the coupon it may say “save on ANY brand of so called product”. This means you can buy the least expensive product or smallest size. If it doesn’t state a certain size a coupon might have the best value on travel sizes which every store sells.
Stand up for yourself. If you are using coupons correctly then shop with confidence. It is your money and you should not feel bad about being a smart shopper!
At the end of the month or the beginning of a new month P&G puts out a nice allotment of coupons. This week is a good week to get at least two Sunday papers.
CVS Deal:
Scope Mouthwash on sale $4.49 use $2 coupon from paper and receive $1.50 in extracare bucks making the final price just 99 cents.

Do not be a shelf clearer. This is when you buy every product on the shelf leaving nothing for the next person. For an example on Extreme Couponing premiere a women bought over 100 candy bars and when a gentlemen asked for one she said “NO”. Think of other people who also want to be able to get the great deal you just got. Share the savings.
Try not to go shopping during peak times. If you are planning to do a big coupon shopping order it is a nice courtesy to go when you will not hold up the line.
Treat the cashier with respect. It’s possible you know more about coupon policies than they do. If there is a problem and you know the coupon should work, ask politely to speak with a manager.
Follow the rules. Before you hand over a stack of coupons, make sure they are not expired.
I always tell people that there are coupons all over the store you just need to keep your eyes open. If you see a tearpad or blinkie coupons don’t take all of them. Let other customers get in on the deal.
Read the wording on the coupon. Manufacturer’s usually put a picture of their most expensive product on the coupon to make you think that is what you have to buy. If you read the terms on the coupon it may say “save on ANY brand of so called product”. This means you can buy the least expensive product or smallest size. If it doesn’t state a certain size a coupon might have the best value on travel sizes which every store sells.
Stand up for yourself. If you are using coupons correctly then shop with confidence. It is your money and you should not feel bad about being a smart shopper!
At the end of the month or the beginning of a new month P&G puts out a nice allotment of coupons. This week is a good week to get at least two Sunday papers.
