Do you have a favourite product or brand? If this is the case, check the company's website to see if they offer a free email newsletter that you can subscribe to. Subscribers are frequently rewarded with exclusive discounts, promotions, and freebies. This is not limited to major national brands. Make a list of all the local stores and restaurants where you enjoy shopping. Then, see if they have a newsletter you can subscribe to.
Purchase additional paper in order to receive more coupon inserts
There is no rule stating that you can only purchase one newspaper. So, if you find a good coupon inside, go ahead and grab an extra one (or five). If you can find a store that discounts unsold Sunday papers on Monday, you'll be able to get those extra coupons for even less money out of pocket. Buy your papers at the Dollar Tree and you'll only pay a dollar per piece. To keep extreme couponers in check, they have a three-newspaper limit per customer.
Gather unused newspaper coupon inserts
People frequently discard unwanted portions of their newspapers in coffee shops, restaurants, bus stops, and other places where there is a waiting room. Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to take these home. If you have friends or family who work in such places, ask them to save the old Sunday papers for you. Another option is to ask non-couponing friends and neighbours to save their coupon inserts for you. They won't mind in the least.
Apps can deliver coupons to your phone
Download a few coupon apps such as Askmeoffers to turn your phone into a savings machine. Simply have the cashier scan your phone at checkout, and your coupons will be deducted from your total automatically. If you don't have the time or energy to clip coupons, or if you don't want to spend a lot of money on printer ink, this is a great way to save money.
Call Companies for Coupons
Examine your favourite products and look for the toll-free number listed on the label. Then, call those businesses and ask if they have any coupons they can send you. Check out their websites while you're at it. You can sign up for a newsletter, a loyalty app, or printable coupons from them.
Buy Electronic Coupons
Load coupons onto your grocery store rewards cards, and the savings will be deducted automatically when the cashier scans your card. Even if you want to avoid using, storing, and sorting paper coupons, this is another good way to save money.
Adding Coupons to Your Grocery Card
Most grocery store chains have digital coupons available on their websites, which you can load onto your card before you go shopping. These are usually one-time-use coupons, but read the fine print. Some digital coupons have a five-use limit.
To obtain additional digital coupons
New printable coupon websites are constantly appearing. If you don't look through them for grocery coupons and household goods savings, you're throwing money away. Check to see if you're missing any opportunities to print coupons.
Consider thinking outside the box
Coupons can be found anywhere; you just have to look for them. Have you been stuffing receipts and ticket stubs into your wallet or purse? If you turn them over, you might find coupons for the same items and entertainment you just purchased. Coupon printing is still popular, but using your own printer means using your own supplies.
