Coupon Myth: There's never any coupons for items I normally buy

I was thinking about how to write this coupon myth when my sister-in-law gave me a hand. When I made this post about five inserts coming out on the following Sunday and posted it on the Northwoods Coupon Hunters Facebook Page, my sister-in-law posted back:

"I wanna know why there are never coupons for the things that I buy? Like for instance milk, where can I get a coupon for that, or bread, or fresh fruit and fresh vegetables? I look at these coupons and I suppose you save money, but do you actually use these items? How can I get coupons for the items that I actually purchase and use? I am not one to buy something just because it is on sale or there is a coupon, do you see what I mean?"

This is a common misconception for folks who haven't been taught how to utilize coupons properly. What they really mean is, "How come I don't ever see any coupons this week for what I want to buy NOW?" They cannot really mean they don't see anything that they would buy. Think about it - in this economy, the millions of people using coupons aren't out there buying stuff we don't need and then recommending you do the same!

For example, the list of inserts I posted included coupons for the following items:

Baking powder
Condensed soup
Toothpaste
Toilet paper
Eggs (incl. organic/cage free)
Batteries
Yeast
Hot sauce
Dish soap
Tampons
Sanitary pads
Vegetable juice
Laundry detergent
Deodorant/anti-perspirant
Coffee
Pet food
Fabric softener
Kids shampoo
Shampoo & conditioner
Rice
Paper towels
Hair color
Make-up
Air freshener
Trash bags

I challenge anyone to not find at least 7 items on that list that they actually use at their house!

As I explained to her, the coupons that come out this week may not be worth redeeming (or "playing" if you know about The Grocery Game) until there is a good sale to combine them with. Then you buy as many as you can at that rock-bottom price, so you don't have to buy it later for a higher cost. If you are "not one to buy something just because it is on sale or there is a coupon," then you will always be overpaying for these items! (I don't mean to buy something you would never use just because it's on sale or has a great coupon - but DO buy it if you would normally pay full price for it when you need it and it's a great deal - even if you don't "need" it right now!)

You see, if you only shop for what you need NOW, you will never get the best price on items! So, file away the whole insert (with the date written on the front) in an expandable pocket file organizer (get one for under $10 at Walmart) and wait until the store's weekly sales flyer comes out. Northwoods Coupon Hunters is only of of many online sites which will then post "match-ups" (which coupons match that week's sales) by posting the name of the flyer and the date it was printed (example: SS 9/25/11 would mean Smart Source insert from 9/25/11). So, all you have to do is add the item to your shopping list, pull out your file, clip the coupon and head to the store to stock up!

Still don't think it's worth the effort, even when all you have to do is write a date and stick it in a file?

OK, I did an little experiment so show the value of stocking up at the lowest price. Say you want to make spaghetti with turkey meatballs and a salad for a meal this week:

In the first column, if you went out today and none of the items were on sale, you would spend $17 on this dinner. If you pay attention to the sale items (the week this article was written), the second column shows you would pay $13.87 (and you better have your store Member Card, too, to get those sale prices.) In the third column, $11.08 is what I would have spent on the items using coupons. Granted, that is only a savings of $2.79 compared to what you spent on sale items, but it would save me $5.92 if the items were NOT on sale this week and if I save just that same small amount on every dinner, that would save me $1,018 per year or $2,106 off retail. That isn't even counting my savings on breakfasts, lunches, snacks, health & beauty, pet and cleaning supplies!

You may notice that last row that says "Total spent today" is only $5.22 in my column. You see, the items that are in grey in my column, I bought on sale weeks or months ago at the lower price. The fresh onions and green peppers bought on sale are diced and frozen in my freezer for future meals. So, I would be spending $8.65 - $11.75 less today to make the exact same meal you bought. That money can be used for milk, bread and fresh produce - or even a special treat I normally cannot afford. Notice that what I actually bought for this meal today was just the fresh produce? By buying the non-perishable or freezer-friendly items previously at the lowest price and stocking up, I don't need coupons for the milk, eggs, bread and fresh produce, because that is all I need to buy. And I can even plan meals around the produce that is on sale to save even more!

Speaking of eggs and milk, stores often offer special deals that if you buy a certain number of breakfast products they will give you a Catalina coupon (which prints out with your register receipt) for free milk and/or eggs. So don't throw those away! Last week at Copp's , if you bought 8 Quaker Brand items (which included oatmeal, oat bars, pancake mix, pancake syrup and orange juice) you got an instant $5 off at the register AND free milk and eggs. With winter coming, I did the deal 2 times. I got 8 boxes of Quaker oatmeal packets, which ended up being $1.75 a box (reg. $3.09) and cheaper than the Roundy's boxes of oatmeal for $2.49. I also got a bunch of pancake mix for a great deal after the $5 instant off - so I got 2 milk and 2 egg Catalina coupons and didn't have to pay anything for milk and eggs. So, pay attention to those "bundle" deals that can get you free stuff and a lower cost on items you'd eventually buy anyhow.

So, the key to couponing is not to get your Sunday inserts and run out that week to try to redeem them all or to expect them to have the coupons you want for that week. Save them until you can use them and then buy enough to last you until the next sale/coupon deal. And if you need something and don't have a coupon, whether or not it is on sale, just go ahead and buy what you need for now. Just wait to stock up on them when the next great deals come around.

The coupons are out there for the items that you normally buy. You just need to be patient and watch for them and then know how and when to use them!

Grocery Store admits 'Extreme Couponing' Fakery

The "real" couponing forums have been all abuzz over the TLC show "Extreme Couponing," insisting that scenes must be staged and store coupon policies have to be waived for the show.  The concern is that the portrayal of using coupons this way gives viewers unrealistic expectations for their couponing adventures and encourages bad behavior. Not to mention that the show makes anyone in the store with a coupon binder look like they must be a kook.

So, it was interesting to come across this news report about upcoming episodes filmed in a store in North Carolina. The store regrets the decision to participate and admits that they waived their normal coupon policy and that a publicized scene from the show about a couponing "shelf clearer" was staged by the crew.

Watch clip:

This season was Lowes Foods' first time participating in the show, and it wasn't pleased with the experience.

"If we had it to do over again, we would not have done it," said Lisa Selip, a corporate spokeswoman for Lowes Foods who said the show was full of misrepresentations and sensationalism. "Hindsight is 20/20."

A case in point, she said, is contained in a promotional clip recently released online. It shows a man arriving in the grocery aisle seconds too late to purchase an energy bar after an extreme coupon shopper put every last bar into her cart.

"The guy who walked up to the shelf was one of the crew members," Selip said. "It was all staged."

She said Lowes, which considers itself a coupon-friendly retailer, initially thought the show would be a great way to showcase its stores nationally. "Call it maybe being slightly naïve," she said.

Selip says the chain deeply regrets its decision to participate in the show. "My hope is our customers know we're a company of integrity and they'll understand we made a mistake."

That anger could come from coupon clippers who'll see people on he show using more than 20 coupons a day. Selip acknowledged that the company waived part of its policy for the benefit of TV cameras.

TLC spokeswoman Niki Kazakos said in a written statement that the network expects the coupon shoppers "to understand and follow their stores' coupon policies."

Coupon Myth: You can't use more than one coupon per item

"One coupon per transaction."
"One coupon per item per transaction."
"One coupon per family."
"One coupon per item."
"One coupon per like item."
"One coupon per person/customer."
"One coupon per purchase."
"One coupon per like item per shopping trip."

These rules, between the store policies and the manufacturer coupon limits can be really confusing, so it's important to know your store's coupon policies. Some stores allow unlimited coupons, but limit the number and days they can be doubled. If you are unsure what the store policy means, ask the store manager or call the store customer service and ask. What the rule means can be different as a store policy vs. printed on a manufacturer coupon.

Usually, stores will allow a store coupon to be stacked with a manufacturer's coupon.
Example:
Store flyer has a coupon for Nature Valley granola bars for $2 each (reg. $2.49).
Sunday newspaper insert has a Nature Valley coupon for 75¢ off each.
You can use both coupons and get the granola bars for $1.25. And if you use the coupon on a double coupon day, the manufacturer coupon will double in value to $1.50 off, making the final price only 50¢ when combined with the store coupon!

Sometimes, even the store employees don't understand the difference between "per transaction," "per person" or "per item," so it's important that you can explain it to them clearly. Below are explanations of the most common coupon limits:


"One coupon per transaction."

Store policy: Only one coupon can be used during a transaction. (Extremely rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a much higher number than just one.)

Store coupon: Only one coupon can be used on one item, even if you buy more than one of that item.

Manufacturer coupon: Only one coupon can be used on one item, even if you buy more than one of that item.

"One coupon per item per transaction."

Store policy: No "stacking" coupons. You can use a store coupon or a manufacturer's coupon but not both.

Store coupon: One store coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a manufacturer's coupon.

Manufacturer's coupon: One manufacturer's coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a store coupon.

"One coupon per family."

Store policy: N/A

Store coupon: This could mean a couple of things. One per transaction, one per visit or one per store card account.

Manufacturer's coupon: N/A

"One coupon per item."

Store policy: No stacking coupons. You can use a store coupon or a manufacturer's coupon but not both.

Store coupon: One store coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a manufacturer's coupon.

Manufacturer's coupon: One manufacturer's coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a store coupon.

"One coupon per like item."

Store policy: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)

Store coupon: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)

Manufacturer's coupon: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)

"One coupon per person/customer."

Store policy: Only one coupon can be used during a transaction. (Extremely rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a much higher number than just one.)

Store coupon: Only one coupon can be used on one item, even if you buy more than one of that item.

Manufacturer coupon: Only one coupon can be used on one item, even if you buy more than one of that item.

"One coupon per purchase."

Store policy: No "stacking" coupons. You can use a store coupon or a manufacturer's coupon but not both.

Store coupon: One store coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a manufacturer's coupon.

Manufacturer's coupon: One manufacturer's coupon may be used per each item purchased. May be used along with a store coupon.

"One coupon per like item per shopping trip."

Store policy: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item per store visit. Must leave store and come back to use another coupon for that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)

Store coupon: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item per store visit. Must leave store and come back to use another coupon for that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)

Manufacturer's coupon: If you buy more than one of identical items, only one coupon is allowed on one of that item per store visit. Must leave store and come back to use another coupon for that item. (Rare. If the number is limited it's more likely it will be a higher number than just one.)
