Where To Find Coupons

Extreme Couponing to me is not what is shown on TLC's Extreme couponing, it's not about clearing shelves or using unethical couponing practices. Rather it's using coupons in a ethical manner to save tons of money by stockpiling and shopping around sales to maximize my savings. 


I have saved thousands of dollars, using coupons-combined with sales to build a stockpile to get the most savings. With organization, some time(not 35 hours a week) we can save anywhere from 50-87% on our grocery bill.


If you follow Lookin2Save, I will do my best to bring the lastest coupon matchups to help us save on our grocery bill. And the first lesson in L2S's 'Extreme couponing 101' is......


Gathering Coupons/Where to get coupons

Newspaper
This is the front line of getting coupons.  The 'rule of thumb' is 1 paper per household member. If you have 4 members of your family, then your would purchase 4 newspapers, per week. Now my suggestion is to save even doing that. Instead of buying from a news stand or grocery store, get a subscription in which you can start by saving at least 50%. Also you can ask family members, co-workers or neighbors to give coupons that they do not use.


Printable Coupons
Printable coupons has become a huge part of coupons since the mid 90's and today there are just as popular as any coupon. You can print coupons at any of these sites...

Coupons.com
Smartsource.com
RedPlum.com
Target.com



Tear Pads
These are coupons that come from a little red machine, usually found near the product. These can be found in various places, so keep your eye out for these


Peelies
This are normally found on the product. Be sure not to peel the coupon unless your are purchasing that product.


Ecoupons
These have become more popular and more & more retailers are jumping on board. These are coupons that are electronically loaded onto your loyalty card. In some occasions, you may use a store ecoupon + manufacturer coupon on 1 item.

NEW: Cask Back Apps

I will talk about these more.

There is also a rebate site that I use, SavingStar.com. SavingStar has ecoupons that you clip & the savings is added to your account, when your account reaches $5.00-you choose your payout. It's free to use & you just sign up & register at least one loyalty card & start saving.

Join SavingStar for free here


Mobile Coupons
This kind of coupon is becoming more popular as our technology keeps advancing. These coupons are sent to your mobile phone & there are apps like the Shopkick App.

Also check out Target Mobile Coupons here.


Samples
When we sign up for Free samples, many times they come with coupons. That's a great double dip Free product + savings= smiles:)


You can also find coupons inside product packaging, there's tons of coupons in magazines.

Couponing Terms

There are many abbreviations and acronyms we use when we talk about coupons or couponing. Here is a list of terms you will see on this blogs and across the couponing world.

I know if you are like me when I was a beginner, I used to say 'what is this & what does that mean?' Here is a list of the most polular acronyms used in couponing. If you missed part 1 of L2S's Extreme couponing 101, click here


SS-Smartsource (coupon insert found in your Sunday newspaper)

RP-Red Plum (coupon insert-in my area this insert comes in the 'Circulars')

P&G-Procter & Gamble (coupon insert found in your Sunday newspaper-monthly)

CAT or CATALINA-coupon thats prints from the machine next to the register after transaction
(this coupon is usually a $dollar off amount for a future purchase)

BOGO or B1G1- But one get one free

BLINKIES-in-store coupon found in near product, normally from a red blinking box

PEELIE-coupon you peel off product

OYNO-on your next order

OOP-out of pocket

IP-internet printable coupon

PSA-prices starting at

Q-coupon

DND-do not double

MIR-mail in rebate

MFG-Manufacturer's coupon

WYB-when you buy

ECB-CVS Extra care bucks

RR-Walgreens' register rewards

IVC-Walgreens instant value coupon-savings book found in store usually near the weekly ad.


STACKING-the use of a store coupon + a manufacturer's coupon on 1 item (most stores allow stacking, but always check you store's policy first
.
YMMV-your miles may vary (success of the attempt may vary, could depend on your cashier, your store-etc)

NLA-no longer available


& for those that are wondering about the 'circulars' I mentioned, referring to the Red Plum insert. Those are the weekly ads from your area's stores, found in a white plastic bag. They throw it on my step on Thursdays.

What Are Catalina's

Okay so we have many new people that want to learn & I have had this questions many times. Yesterday, my Director of Nursing even asked me 'Shanta, what's a catalina?' So here is a quick post on 'Catalina'

Catalina coupons are coupons printed from a catalina machine usually found right next to the register. Catalina machine produces, manufacturer coupons, store coupons and XX amount of $$ on your next order coupons. National catalina offers run monthly(usually)!

Now we LOVE catalina offers because it's it how we keep our out of pocket(oop) lower.

There are 2 types of catalina offers, store offers and national offers. Store catalina offers are store specific!

Below is pictures of different catalina offers and what catalina coupons look like and also what a catalina notice looks like.

Now. I would like to give you a great example of why we LOVE catalina offers. We have an awesome high value TRESemme coupon and Shoprite had a store catalina offer and this is a ex of an Unilever catalina deal using TRESemme!

(4) TRESemme hair products paid $1.96 after coupon
received $5.00 catalina or $5.00 on your next order(OYNO)
So we paid $1.96 & now we have $5.00 store credit, you made $3.04 of store credit you can use towards your next order.

Now, if I were to go to Shoprite get the TRESemme deal today and then go tomorrow and use my $5 catalina on my next TRESemme deal, I use it and get more TRESemme and get another $5.00, that's what we call 'rolling the catalina'.

Another great thing about catalinas is, it is a great way to lower your out of pocket on things that you don't have coupons for, like milk, meat etc!

I hope this helps, feel free to add anything, if I didn't get it all and feel free to ask anything you may not understand

Below, I am post 'OLD' pictures and examples of what Store catalinas, manufacturer catalinas and notices look like.
