End of the Month - Print Those Coupons!

Just a reminder that many printable coupons will disappear or reset at the end of the month, so if there are any you want, print them now!

Coupons.com coupons available here.

Smartsource coupons available here.

Red Plum coupons available here.

On a similar note, many of our Sunday insert coupons will expire 12/31/09, which is Thursday. Can you believe Friday will be 2010? In any case, I recommend taking a few minutes to flip through them and pull any out for product you always buy and if you'll need more of that product in the next few weeks, try to buy them this week with the coupon.

This Cheapskate's Method: I often hold on to all of my coupons, even for products I know I'll buy, til closer to the expiration date to see if I can pair the coupon with a sale price. However, before the coupon expires, I like to use it if it's a product I'd need to buy anyway. A coupon discount alone is better than paying full price! Usually, if I flip through my coupons during the last week of any month, I find a few that I try to use that week.

Hope that made sense! Happy coupon printing!

P&G Coupons in This Weekend's Star!

I just called my Sunmart to verify and it looks like we DO have coupons this weekend in the Star Tribune! It's one Procter and Gamble insert, and if you aren't sure whether to brave the roads or not, you can preview the coupons here.

Remember, the Saturday edition of the Star Tribune is now called the Early Sunday and costs .75, but also includes Sunday's coupons. And, if you don't have to leave the house for anything today, pick up the Sunday Star Tribune for $2 tomorrow.

I do want to venture to Sunmart, which isn't far from me, but it remains to be seen whether or not I'll actually decide to dig out a vehicle. :)

Merry Christmas and Happy Snow Shoveling!

Double Coupons 101

I am asked questions all the time about double coupons, so I thought I’d try to address them all in one place. Ready? Here we go…

What stores in our area double coupons?

In the Fargo Moorhead area, all of our major grocery stores, Sunmart, Cashwise and Hornbacher’s, double coupons all day every day. Stores that don’t double coupons are Target, Walmart, Kmart, CVS , Walgreens and many other retailers. (On a side note, Kmart does double coupons every now and then during “Doubles Events,” which run for an entire week. They are usually announced in the Kmart weekly ad, and I’ll post here about Doubles Events when I hear about them.)

How much is my coupon worth?

In our area, the grocery stores all double up to $1. If the face value is .50 or less, it will double. If it is .51-$1, the store will take off $1 for the coupon. Coupons with face values higher than $1 will be accepted at face value.

How does a double coupon work?

The manufacturer will pay the store for the face value of the coupon, plus any handling charge as stated in the coupon terms. Usually, the “double” part is a store promotion, and the store gives you the additional value of the “double.” So, let’s say you use a .75 coupon at a store that doubles coupons. The .75 is paid back to the store by the manufacturer of the product, and the additional .25 that was deducted from your order is a store loss. Doubling coupons is a promotion, like any other, to draw a customer into a certain store.

What about coupons that say “Do Not Double?”

Most store computers are automated and double coupons automatically, regardless of any wording on the coupon. Because the store is paying the doubled amount, not the manufacturer, I’m not sure why any coupon would stipulate this. However, because the coupon states not to double, the store can choose not to double it. In my experience, it’s much more common for a cashier to simply scan the coupons and allow them to double than to manual override the double and give you only the face value of the coupon.

What did I miss? Throw out other questions in the comments and I will answer if I can!

It's Saturday, Time to buy the Star Tribune


It is Saturday, and that means it's time to get your Star Tribune with Sunday coupons and all for only .75 each!  The 3 inserts this week will be our last til the New Year, so we've got plenty of time to catch up on clipping and organizing!

If you're new around here, I recommend the Star Tribune for our area, because the coupon inserts are larger and contain higher value coupons than the Fargo Forum. (This is because Minneapolis-St. Paul is a larger market.) And now, we can buy the Sunday coupons in the Saturday paper for a lower cost, only .75!

If you miss it or don't get to it on Saturdays, you can still buy the Sunday Star Tribune to get your coupon inserts, but you'll pay the full $2.

Love me some cheap coupons!

Tips
To make the most of these Catalina deals, spend as close to the minimum ($15) as possible.  If necessary, do multiple transactions or multiple store visits.
Here's the reason.  You can choose a discount of $5 when you spend $15, which is about a 33% discount, or you can spend $20 and only get $5 back (20$ discount).  To make the most of the promotion, spend as close to $15 as possible. 

Maximize your savings by buying multiples of items you'll use later at this significantly discounted price
An extra store visit or two this week will pay off in the long run if you keep those items in your pantry and "shop" there when you need the item, rather than at the store, where you'll pay full price.

Use coupons where possible to lower your price even further! 
There are coupons out there for most of these products.  The closer your coupon total comes to the after Catalina price, the lower the net cost of the item.  example: Frosting is $1.28, but .86 after you factor in the Catalina savings.  Since we have .50/1 coupons that double to $1, the net cost of the frosting is better than FREE. 

At Checkout, you will pay the sale price of the items minus your coupons, but will get a $5 coupon back after checkout to use on your next order.  Back to my frosting example: buy 12 frosting tubs for a total of $15.36.  Use 12 coupons that double to $1 each to reduce your total to $3.36.  Pay $3.36 at checkout, receive a $5 coupon back.  So, you profited $1.64, but also have frosting enough to last you a year and some to give away as well. 

So, coming about 12 frosting coupons might be difficult, plus there are probably other items you want to buy.  Follow the tips above (Stick as close to $15 as possible, use high value coupons, and buy in multiples if you have multiple coupons) and let us know how it goes for you!  I'll post a few actual deal scenarios in a separate post.

Questions?  I'm sure you have them!  Comment on this post, or email me at fmcheapskate@gmail.com.  I love to share more about these deals, as they are a great way to stock up on items at a very low cost!
