Couponing tips

Always remember, The item to coupon ratio is 1:1.

Say your store is offering a buy one get one free of the same item, you can use one coupon for each item.

Also if you have coupons that say buy one of this and get one of another differnet item free, you can also use a  coupon for the item you have to buy in order to get the free one.

This weekends redplum ad had a coupon for $3 off any Nivea for women body wash and a $3 coupon  for the Nivea mens body wash, Walmart has them for $3 and all you have to pay is the tax.
I bought 6 bottles and paid $1.13.
Now thats a deal.

More tips coming soon !
