Welcome to my coupon blog. I am addicted to using coupons as a money saving source for my family. My friends kept asking me to help them learn how to use coupons, so this blog came to life...I hope it can help you save money too!

Fine Print

I am not going to try to throw my moral compass at you.  I believe we each have our own moral compass and its not my place to impose mine upon you.  Yet, I ask that you keep this in mind as you move forward through the coupon world.  If we all try to play by the coupon rules, then we can all continue to save money!  However, when couponer's violate or misuse coupons, we are giving the manufacturer's reason to no longer product money saving coupons. 

Read the fine print on coupons and use the coupons accordingly. 

Know the difference between one coupon per item and one coupon per transaction.

Pay attention to size restrictions on the coupon.  The coupon may or may not work on smaller sizes but if a size is specified, please respect that.  Some coupons will say they can not be used on trial sizes.  Some do not.  

Do not copy internet printed coupons.  This is fraud. When you redeem copied coupons, you are essentially stealing from the store and the manufacturer.

Pay attention to expiration dates and use those coupons before they expire.  Some stores (but not many) will accept expired coupons for a short time past the date.  I don't know of any in my area that do accept expired coupons though.
