Couponing for Beginners: 11 Tips That Will Save You Thousands

I have been couponing for over a decade. I have saved thousands. I wish I would’ve been meticulous about tracking how much I have saved, but an estimated guess would be that I have easily saved over $25,000.00 in the 10 years I have been couponing.

Right now, I save about $200-300 a month, which is over $2,400 a year. So in case you haven’t gotten into couponing yet, now is a great time. This is couponing for beginners article. If you are already a seasoned pro, I offer my online video training course which outlines my efficient step-by-step couponing system which will save you  $45.00 in 35 minutes of couponing prep or less.

Before I got started there was a lot I had to learn. These were the days before the popular TV show Extreme Couponing came on TLC. I didn’t have as many resources as there are now. I would have to say getting started now is a great time to start because of all the technological advancements that make matching sales and coupons so easy. Not to mention the huge amount of printable and online coupons and discounts available now that weren’t then.

Have I convinced you to start couponing? If so, let’s get started. Here are 11 coupon basics that you need to know no matter which store you shop at:

#1. Coupons have expiration dates and must be used before they expire. They also have other restrictions that need to be followed: size, quantity, brand, make, etc. Just think of it this way: the Big Print Giveth, the Small Print Taketh Away. For example, a Pampers coupon will say $2.50 off in big print. At the outset that seems like an awesome deal. When you read the smaller print it will say off two boxes of Pampers Swaddlers Diapers. The boxes are pricey and it’s usually always a better deal to buy the smaller jumbo packs and use a high value coupon on those. The small print just took the $2.50 and made it not such a great deal after all. Read each coupon carefully.

#2. Coupon websites that match sales with the coupon are the best way to go when planning your shopping trip. They do most of the work for you. They find the sales and then they find any available coupon for the sales and match them up. It’s awesome! A few that I have been using with a lot of success are:

A great all around match up site is www.grocerysmarts.com. I love this site. With Grocerysmarts.com you can highlight just the stock up prices (I’ll mention more about those below). You can also easily list all the grocery stores in your area on one page. Awesome- especially for price matching. I use this website in conjunction with Krazycouponlady.com.

Another amazing website that you can often find awesome, typically unadvertised and all the best deals is thekrazycouponlady.com. I love this site and its app as well! 

Quickly checking at least two and usually three different sources before going to a store ensures that I don’t miss an amazing deal.

Finally, an awesome app that works for just about any popular grocery store and some retail stores and theaters allows you to earn cash back is called Ibotta. In the first 3 months of using it, I made $77!  Ibotta is like a mobile coupon app/rebate machine. When you buy something being sponsored by Ibotta and the store you bought it at you will earn cash back. At the end of your shopping trip to redeem an item you need to follow a quick process of learning a fact, watching a short clip, or sharing it on Facebook. After that, you simply take a quick photo of your receipt and the product you bought and the cash will be credited to your account. Plus, if you sign up and redeem 10 purchases with over .25 cent rebates you will receive a $10.00 bonus if done in the first 30 days which is a pretty great deal! Click here to sign up for Ibotta and be sure to redeem to earn your $20.00 bonus.

Another free app is called Checkout51. It is very similar to Ibotta but it can be used with any store. I’ve tested it and It works great! Plus, unlike Ibotta, it isn’t stored exclusive, which is great for people who live in smaller towns and that don’t shop at big chain grocery stores. You can get cash back on milk, eggs, and other everyday groceries. I use this and Ibotta together and sometimes get items for free! Sign up for Checkout51 here!

#3. You can print off coupons online. Most coupons can be printed 2 times per computer. If you have a laptop and a desktop you can get 4 coupons to use. You simply either need to hit the back button after a coupon is done printing and it will reprint or you will need to go back and re-select the coupon and print again. These are some of the best resources to find online coupons:

a. Coupons.com—is the largest database of online printable manufacturer coupons. You can often just go to coupons.com and find items that you may have on your grocery list and print them off there. More efficient use of time is to search on hotcouponworld.com for the items on your grocery list instead of sifting through all of the coupons on coupons.com.

b. HotCouponWorld.com—is a huge coupon search/database that can search for almost every coupon out there in the USA. Once you are at HotCouponWorld.com, click on the coupon database and search for items that you need. It will show you if there are any coupons out there (printable, insert (non printable), etc.) available for that certain item. (The database doesn’t work with smartphones. You will need to use desktops or laptops to search for coupons for specific items.)

#4. If you use over 5-10 coupons each shopping trip, buying a Sunday newspaper subscription will save you money. I tried both couponing with and without the newspaper. I saved much more by having a newspaper subscription. I actually paid for all 4 of my newspaper subscriptions in the first 3 weeks I had them by using the coupons I found in them.

  • It is important to note that if you ever don’t have the newspaper arrive, are missing inserts in your paper, or get the wrong quantity delivered, the newspaper company will credit you for an extra paper at the end of your subscription. Although this rarely happens, if it does you need to call and notify them each time. Also, when you buy the newspaper call them and tell them you do not want the special editions (as they cost additional money and will cut your subscription short). 

#5. Coupons come in the mail and newspapers.  The main mailer is an insert called Red Plum. In some areas, Red Plum also comes in the Sunday papers. The abbreviation used for Red Plum on most all couponing sites is RP. Smart Source ( SS) comes in the Sunday papers. Proctor and Gamble (PG) also come in the newspaper (usually the first paper each month). Side note: another few abbreviations are BOGO ‘buy one get one free” and MM which means it is a money maker. A money maker, in most cases, means that by buying the item (which is free) you will have extra money through its purchase to use toward another item in that same purchase. OOP means total out of pocket money you will need to purchase the transaction/products.

beginnerscouponingguide5

#6. Each paper has a date on its tiny spine. If you look closely you will be able to see the date. When you see on the match up sites that there is a sale and a coupon they will tell you where to find the coupon. If it is an internet coupon there will be a link to click to go to that site. If it is a newspaper coupon they will state it by using the abbreviation of the insert and date on its spine. For example, it will look like this: Huggies 2.00/1  Jumbo Pack  SS 1/12 meaning that in the Smart Source insert that was delivered on January 12th you can find a 2.00 off one package of Huggies diapers (that was just an example). Inserts that are mailed don’t always have the same date stamped on them as the date they arrived because they arrive on different days for different people. They are typically stamped with the date of the upcoming Sunday.

beginnerscouponingguide3

#7. Make sure to buy multiples of the items you will use that are on sale and have coupons to go with them. Extreme Couponing is when you stock up on items that are rock bottom in price. This is how you are going to save the most money. All three resources/websites I mentioned above use a scale to show how good of a deal the sale/coupon matchup is. If they are listed as a stock up or 5 star deal then buy multiples because most items only go on sale with coupons every 3 or 6 months. 

#8. The easiest most efficient way to coupon is not to clip coupons until you are sure you are going to use them. I use an accordion binder like this and slip the coupon inserts into it when they come on Sundays. I keep all the Red Plums together, the PG’s together, and the SS’s together in one or two sections. I order them newest to oldest. I also keep my printed coupons and loose random coupons that have come in mailers, magazines, etc. in their own sections as well.

  • Once the insert is a few months old I quickly scan through it. If the majority of coupons are expired I take the inserts and recycle/trash them. I am constantly rotating my inserts in and out of my binder so they all fit.
beginnerscouponingguide2

#9. Start at one store and get familiar with the coupons, clearance section, rewards programs, restrictions, etc. Once you feel like you understand that store, try mastering another in your area. Here is a link to how to coupon at Target. How to coupon at Kroger aka Smith’s, Ralph’s, Fry’s, etc, How to coupon at Walmart, How to coupon at Walgreens, How to coupon at CVS. How to coupon at RiteAid.

#10. Monitor your expenditures. This deserves a post all on its own but here it is: You can go broke saving money. That is right, you can go broke saving money. If I don’t closely monitor myself I will try to get every single deal out there and spend hours day couponing. When I do this I usually always over spend in our grocery category. How did I overspend by saving 40-100% off? It is the amount of small purchases I make. They really do add up. Moderation and slowly building a stock pile is the way to go. Couponing can be a thrill and give you a rush when you walk away from the store with discounted and even free stuff. Just realize you paid taxes, gas to get to the store, money on the newspapers, paper, ink, etc. and time.

Couponing is one of the best ways to save on groceries and other household items but it can get expensive if you try to build a stock pile overnight or are in the stores every day. Think about trying to take a turtle approach and try not to be the hare (like I was). A thing I do to balance this out is to only extreme coupon a few weeks out of the month instead of all four.

    I purchase the Sacramento Bee at the Dollar Store on Sunday to get my coupons. I shop at Rite-Aid to get an additional 20% off all my purchases with my coupons. Last month I saved $89.00 off my purchases which I took in cash and opened a savings acct. This is now my vacation savings account.

    I love all your idea’s. I just don’t understand why buy a lot of things you really don’t need to get things free. I was wondering how to save just for like family.
    My sister in law says she doesn’t buy anything that isn’t on sale. Is that the trick?
    I look forward to your comments I think you are awesome at couponing and I know I can learn from you.

      Scarlett- If you noticed in the article I mention that you should only buy multiples of things you KNOW you will use. You really don’t need free stuff if you aren’t going to use it and/or if you don’t know anyone who will. I only buy what I will use or that others I know can use if it is free.

      Good luck couponing does work if you stick with it.

      June 30, 2014 at 12:48 pm

      The TLC show Extreme Couponing is often very deceitful. If you notice the contestants by hundreds even thousands of one deal so they can rack up their total bill. This never usually happens even when couponers are ‘extreme’. The contestants go way over the top on quantity of cheap or free items so they can blow the viewers away with the total amount they saved. This is the reason they don’t add normal items to their cart like meat, produce, dairy. Those are very hard to get free. So don’t pay too much attention to that show. Further some of them have VERY unbalanced lifestyles spending 30+ hrs a week couponing, shopping, & hoarding. It’s couponing on steroids and most episodes are very unrealistic. I like to take a more moderate approach and I still save thousands every year. I buy what I need and try to feed my family a well balanced diet. That’s what I recommend others do or you will burn out of using coupons at all.

    Anita,

    I am new at this, I wanted to know how do you get away with using mutiple coupons that say “only one coupon per purchase” or limit the number of coupons per shopping trip?

    Reply
    • Anita Fowler says

      July 11, 2014 at 3:11 pm

      Ryanne- “only one coupon per purchase” means that you can only use one coupon per item purchased. So say you bought two toothpastes you couldn’t use one coupon on two toothpastes. You need two coupons because it says one coupon per item purchased. This is confusing for a lot of beginning couponers. Don’t worry too much, computers will only scan this type of coupon once. Just know that you can use multiple coupons as long as you are purchasing multiple items. Many coupons or stores do limit the number of SAME or LIKE coupons per shopping trip in that case you need to stick to the rules. Target has a 4 coupon rule so I can never use more than 4 of the SAME coupons there. I hope that helps!

      Veronica- It is. I mention how I spend only 1-2 hours a week on it. When I was working full-time without a child I had even more time and would spend 2-6 hours a week on it. But now with a child and being pregnant I really only coupon for 1-2 hours a week max and still save a couple hundred dollars a month. So its possible! Getting started is more time consuming, but once you get the hang of it you can be more efficient.

    Anita, thanks for all the tips. I’ve been watching multiple episodes of extreme couponing and am amazed at how much they save & their huge stockpiles & how they spend over 20 hrs a week couponing – it consumes their whole life – I really would think some of that stuff would go bad before it gets used. We don’t have a basement & it’s too hot in the garage, but we have some space in the laundry room pantry area to stockpile a little. I would love to be able to do this & save some money to pay off bills and also collect items for the local food banks/shelters. I would consider a dozen cans of something a stockpile compared to the hundreds of boxes of toothpaste one guy had. I work at an assisted living & hope to convince the the residents to give me their unused coupons.

      Linda- Yes I agree. I think there needs to be a moderation in life and in couponing. You are right many of those items will go bad and expired before they are used unless they are donated to those in need. It’s also very nice for other couponers not to clear a shelf entirely of the great deals. So taking a balanced approach does really make it something someone can do for life. Here is an article about the biggest mistakes couponers make and how to avoid them if you would like to check it out. I go into more depth about this very issue. Thanks!

    So this is what i have been wondering since I am a coupon beginner…If you go to the store with a list, while walking up and down aisle you spot something on sale. Now without having coupons cut out, how do you know if you have a coupon for that item? Or are you strictly shopping off a list with no deviation? I want to be able to stock up on supplies that are used on a daily basis like body wash, laundry soap, deodorants stuff like that but not sure how to tell if I have a coupon from weeks past or if it’s a good deal. Any help or direction is appreciated. Thanks

    Please help I live in the UK and although I use coupons when ever I find them and the odd one I receive in the mail I need/want to do more but the web sites I found after searching google are pretty dire, I use Groupon and Living Social web sites but have yet to find a good discount/ coupon site that is UK based and kept up to date. Please Help!

    I’m a very newbie at couponing. And also have been confused because I’m an international student coming to the U.S to both study and work so I decided to learn how to purchase everything by coupons to save my money. Thank you so much for your article. It really helps me alot with many things that I could not understand before when I started looking at the coupons on the newspapers or websites. Can I have a few questions? Is it different when coupon says between”3.00$ OFF” and “Save 3.00$” on any Maybelline NY Mascara
    ? I can get it that when I buy this item with the reg. price 5.00$ and using this purchase with my coupon “3.00$ OFF…” means totally just pay 2.00$. Is it right? And if I want to buy more this item (like 3 or 4), can I clip or print 4 more this coupon and just total pay 8.00$ for 4? (means saving 12.00$) I don’t know whether my understanding is correct or not, so could you please explain to me for this confusion. Thanks so much again and have a nice day!! 🙂

      Hang Tra YES you are right! The one thing is, it depends on the store how many coupons that are exactly the same they allow per transaction. For example Target allows 4 like coupons which means you could use 4 of these $3.00 OFF coupons for 4 Maybelline NY Mascaras but you cannot use five. You have it right. $3.00 off and Save $3.00 means the same thing. Good luck!

    Anita, thank you so much for this site. I have tried to do the coupon thing before and got so over whelmed that I stopped. But looking over the top 11 things it shows me that I can do this without having to worry about trying to be like the TLC show. They always irritate me on how they clear the shelves especially one episode I watched where a guy wanted to get a few bars of a protein bar and she took all of them and wouldn’t give him 3 of what she took. Come on talk about rude in my book.

    Anita, the end of June, my husband and I will be moving to New York as his military career begins. I would like to begin couponing once we get there to try to start saving money. Is there a good place to start since I am unsure of what stores will be available to me? Is couponing even a good idea since I don’t really want to build a stockpile yet? I can’t imagine trying to move with a large stockpile of items that would eventually be used. Any words of wisdom would be truly appreciated.

    • Anita Fowler says

      May 26, 2015 at 7:09 pm

      Syndi- I would wait until you move. You don’t want to get used to one store and then have to learn a new ones. Also, packing and transporting a stock supply may be too much work. Good luck moving in one month. The time will fly by I’m sure. Keep in mind that learning to coupon at first does take some time. If you watch my video on how to save $45.00 in 35 minutes of prep it may help- but it is an intermediate/advanced couponing course. So I think you will be best getting the hang of it once you’ve moved and then after a month or two of couponing, take my course and you’ll learn how to streamline the process. Best of luck!

    Hi Anita!

    I can’t thank you enough for putting this blog out to help all of us beginners. I have been attempting to master couponing for almost a year, and I haven’t gotten very far at all. In fact, I haven’t even started a stock pile yet, nor have I successfully purchased more than 2 items at a time in one trip. Yet I have spent countless hours clipping and organizing so many coupons! Crazy right?! Every couple of months I get back into it and swear I will learn how to do it right, but after much frustration (and many newspapers later), I give up and only occasionally use coupons for the items I buy regularly. I currently have a stack of coupons about 4 inches in thickness (compressed!), and I am DETERMINED to put them to use this time around!

    I have all of the supplies I need. A 3 ring binder with card inserts. Two accordion files (small like you have). And a handy little zipper purse with a calculator, highlighter, pencils, post-it sticky note things, paperclips, and everything else you could possibly need in the case of a coupon emergency!

    As you can see I am in desperate need of organization. Or maybe motivation? I think my next step is to somehow file these coupons in the binder, but I have no idea how to do that! Please help!!

      Jessica- thanks for the comment. Great job on your determination. I truly think you will be able to be more efficient if you do not clip before hand. That way if you don’t use a coupon there is no wasted time or energy. Just read this tips really thoroughly and if you’d like you can purchase my coupon training at the bottom of the post. I wish you the best!

    Hi Anita,
    Thanks for all your tips! I’m just getting started and was wondering if it is worth investing in a printer (which I don’t currently have) in order to print manufacturer coupons. Or is there a way to “print” them to your phone and simply scan the barcode off of your phone at checkout? Walmart has a “coupon clip” option on their website but they wouldn’t allow me to access the bar codes because my laptop wasn’t hooked up to a printer.
    So I guess I have two questions for you: A) Do you recommend coupon clipping directly off a store’s website, particularly Walmart’s? and B) Do I need to buy a printer to make coupon clipping worth my while? Or is there a way around this that you know of?

    Thank you!!

      You’ll need a printer- that or subscribe to the newspaper. I don’t know away around printing off coupons. You can often find them very inexpensively at garage sells, online classifieds and esp. on sale during black friday. Yes print off store’s websites for store coupons (or load to card coupons) and then print off regular coupon websites as well. Best!
