Secrets to Happy Couponing #3

This is the third in a four part series. You will find the first two posts here and here.



• Buy ahead. Most stores have a 6 to 8 wk cycle when items will come up on sale again. Figure out how much you will need to keep you for that amount of time.
• Plan your menus according to the sales and what you have in your pantry. You can look at the following websites for menu ideas for the items you have. All of them have a feature where you can input the ingredients you have and it will generate a list of recipes that use those ingredients. http://www.allrecipes.com/ , http://www.supercook.com/ , http://www.recipematcher.com/ .
• Wait to use your coupons when items are at their lowest prices. Here are some good places to get coupons: Coupons dot com (this is my link-when you go here, I receive a tiny renumeration for every coupon you print), http://www.smartsource.com/, http://www.redplum.com/. If you are looking for specific manufacturer coupons that are not printable, you can order them from The Coupon Clippers (link is at the bottom of this page. I am an affiliate with them, so any purchase you make going through my link gives me a renumeration as well. Every little bit helps!) or on http://www.ebay.com/.

I hope this series is helping you to save more on your everyday needs! Please leave a comment if you have a site to share, or any tips to share. Thanks!
