Few days off!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have took a few days off from blogging. We are planning a move and the "new to us" home is in need of some repairs so we are spending alot of time over there. I haven't found many great finds this week anyway so this might be the week to pull out your coupons and ads and see if you can find any "hidden" finds. Enjoy your week!

Types of Coupons

Manufacture clipped paper coupons- these can be found in newspapers, magazines, in mailing inserts.

Tearpad coupons- these can be found throughout stores.

Blinkies- these are the coupons in stores that you pull out of the little blinkie machine throughout stores, they
have a little red blinking light..

Catalina coupons- these are the coupons that print from the register and the cashier gives you after you
have finished paying... these can be cents off or $ off your next order.

Peelie- these are the coupons found on items and you peel them off.

There are also coupons found inside packages either printed on the box or even paper found loose inside the package.

All the above coupons are MANUFACTURE coupons!
They can only be used 1 per items. (ex. If you buy one item you can only use one manufacture coupon or 2 items you can use 2 manufacture coupons)


Store coupons- these coupons can be found in many different places in the stores circular, throughout the stores, mailed directly to you, printed from their internet website.

Store coupons can sometimes be "stacked" with manufacture coupons which means you can use 1 manufacture coupon along with a store coupon on 1 item.
Reason for this is the store is offering one discount with the store coupon and they will also get the money from the manufacture from the manufacture coupon.
Individual stores have their own policies on how they accept coupons. (ex. some may only let you use a certain number of like coupons) Store Policy Post has links to individual store policy for you.

Store policies!

I want to start today's post by saying...ALWAYS KNOW YOUR STORES POLICY!
Cashier turnover rates are high so your chances of having a cashier that doesn't know
policy is also high. I personally have "favorite" cashiers! I will scan the checkout lines
and look for a cashier that I think I will have the least amount of conflict from. For some
reason younger men are easier to work with coupons. If you follow the links that I am
including at the bottom of this post you will be able to print you a copy of policies of some
of the stores that I shop at. Read over them carefully so you know how you can use coupons
with sales at a particular store. Just an example: at Rite Aid you can use a B1G1 coupon
along with a B1G1 sale and you get that item for free (you only pay tax) but not all stores
share in that policy. Don't be afraid to (nicely) correct your cashier if you know you are
correctly using a coupon when they tell you can't do something! I keep a copy of all my
store policies in my binder so I always have it with me if I need to show it at the store
for some reason. Always feel free to ask me any questions you may have either email
me or leave a comment....if I don't know the answer I promise to try and find the answer.
I am listing the links to the store policies by their names below!

Rite Aid

Food Lion

Aldi's does NOT accept coupons!

I do not have a written policy for Save-A-Lot
   they accept coupons that are NOT expired

Family Dollar

Dollar General

Walmart

Hope you find this info useful!  :)
