Final Thoughts

Couponing is more successful if you can buy whatever brand is cheapest (brand loyalty)
- Rain checks allow you to use the coupons you have on hand when more stock is available and gives you more time to get more coupons
You can “buy” or “trade” coupons
There are many websites that allow you to trade with other couponers.
There are also sites allowing you to “buy” coupons.
Start small and allow yourself time to get comfortable with the process
Start with just one store
Add more stores as you feel more confident with your coupon skills
Realize sales come and go. You shouldn’t try to hit them all or you will go crazy.
Balance your coupon time with family time.
