The cost of living is increasing and wages seem to be standing still. There are still ways of stretching the family dollar and still be able to keep your current standard of living. You can even improve your standard of
living. Many people think the only way to get coupons is through the Sunday paper but that is not true. Coupons can be printed from the internet, or found on store shelves.
Why would stores want to accept coupons? Well in addition to getting reimbursed for the face value of the coupon the manufacture will also pay 0.08 to 0.12 cents per coupon. That can add up to alot of money. Coupons also bring shoppers into stores to spend money.
Why would the manufacture want to give product away at a reduced or free price? They want the consumer to become a repeat buyer. If someone trys a product for free or at a good price and they like the item they will buy again, even without a coupon.
Traditionally most people anticipate getting coupons from Sundays paper. These coupons are called inserts and are normally from Smartsource, Valassis, or P&G. Proctor and Gamble normally puts out coupons once a month, the first Sunday of the month. Typically coupons varie from state to state so if you have a friend or relative that gets the Sunday paper in another state their coupons could varie by what is offered and the amount of the coupon may differ as well.
Printable coupons are coupons that can be printed from the internet. The downside is that all companys do not take them because of the risk of coupon fraud. If you ever find a coupon online and you question its authenticity then contact the company and ask them if it is legitamate. Authentic printable coupons normally have an expiration date, the spelling is correct, and there is an address for reimbursement. Ask your store manager if they take printable coupons. Check online for a coupon policy. It is surprising the number of store clerks, and management that do not know that they accept printable coupons. It is normally at the managers disgression so always ask if there is any doubt.
This is a few of the stores I use printable coupons at:
WalMart or Super Walmart
Target or Super Target
Walgreens
