Today's tip will be short and sweet.
Step 4: Know WHEN to use your coupons.
Don't use your coupons willy nilly. Wait for items to go on sale. They always do! Don’t waste your coupons on full price items. Hang onto them for the lowest sale price and then use that coupon. Don't be scared that you'll waste the coupon, you won't. Many coupons come out frequently every few weeks with different expiration dates. Also, sales at the stores come in cycles. Usually every 3-4 months. You'll also see that certain items go on sale at certain times of the year. Ice cream during the summer, school supplies in the late summer, etc;
You want to catch the rock bottom sales price to maximize your coupons. If you miss one sale, you'll catch another one later. Just make sure that when that sale comes around that you stockpile enough for your family until the next sale comes by. It hurts to have to pay full price!
