When you find deals on FREE or dirt cheap items stock up! This is only good for items that will not expire before use or ones that can be frozen. Stock items you know you will use. Toiletries, cleaners, pantry items, and frozen foods are great for stocking. You might spend a bit more now but will save tons later!
- There was a coupon a while back for $5 off Huggies diapering products and Target had the big packs of wipes on sale for $5.49 so I bought as many as I could for $.49 each! Can I just tell you we have enough wipes until the baby is potty trained!
-There was a sale for Gillette Razor kits and with coupons and several transactions I bought 20 razor kits for around $20.Plus I still ended up with $10 in Target gift cards. So REALLY it was like get 20 for $10! Who doesn’t need razors? Especially at this price? Why kits and not refills? Simple. It’s cheaper this way. Refills run about $15 for an eight count. Do the math for yourself it’s cheaper this way I promise.
When you stock up make sure your getting it the cheapest you can. Stockpiles usually last 4-6 months at a time. Sale rotations run every 6-8 weeks. Most all items can be frozen with the exceptions of a few dairy and produce items. Here is a great list of what you can expect to pay for standard stockpile items.

Stacking is using more than one coupon on an item. You can ONLY use one paper MFG and one STORE coupon per item. Remember you need to ALWAYS hand your stores $ off $ coupon FIRST!
CVS is always having BOGO FREE sales on cosmetics. Let’s say you buy 2 deals of foundation at reg. $10
Buy (2) foundations – $10 each
Total before coupons -$20
-$4 ($4 off $20 store coupon)
-$10 (BOGO FREE Sale)
-$4 (MFG Q at $2 each)
= $2 out of pocket

It happens to all of use from time to time. The coupon simply won’t print.
If it’s a coupon printer issue: You must download the coupon printer. Sometimes it will tell you that you need to even if you have already downloaded. Once in a blue moon it will fix the problem and was a simple updated version issue. Other times it’s just gone squirrely and won’t work. Try shutting down the whole computer and trying again. If this doesn’t work, good luck to ya b/c they probably are having internal issuing at the companies site and who knows when it will be fixed. (This hardly ever happens but sadly enough is a problem.)
If the site seems to be stuck or goes to a blank screen it could that the url isn’t formated for the browser you are in. A typical url for coupons looks like this:
http://bricks.coupons.com/TAF.asp?tqnm=qhlsfqd69034230&bt=vg&o=57362&ci=1&c=GM&p=XpvIaUYe&tqnm=qhlsfqd69034230&cista=201
Notice the vg. Below are the browsers that will print coupons when the “vg code” properly matches.
Firefox: wg or vg
Internet Explorer: vi or wi
Safari: xs

The picture above explains this a bit better. I am showing you this for one simple fact. Confirming that the item you wish to purchase coordinates with the coupon you wish to use.
Some manufactures even go as far to put an additional code on the coupon to indicate when the coupon expires and for what size product it is intended for. While I can’t seem to locate one for a snapshot you can just glance over yours and spot one should you have one.
Some manufactures have the same bar code for a wide range of their products. Some have a unique code for each and every product. When bar codes for different items are the same you must then refer to the wordage on the coupon.
There are some people who will attempt to “bar code match” any product regardless of wordage. They assume since the bar codes match it will work. Sometimes it does. More times it doesn’t. You are ultimately responsible for the decisions you make. I share the information you do with it as you see fit.
