It means that the coupon may be a regional coupon – either not available in all areas or available in a differing value.

Shanon – you may not be able to save the same amount of money without printable coupons, but you can still save a good deal of money. It’s a little known fact, but you can request some printable coupons in the mail (they’re called bricks coupons). Good luck with your saving!

Sherry - sorry I missed your question earlier. It really depends on the product when you want to use your coupon. You could try to create a price book on the items you purchase most often so you know when it's a good price to stock up. Plus, many blogs like Bargains to Bounty color code the stock up price in their deals so you know when it's a good deal. Hope that helps!

I became very ill about six months ago and me and my bf have been going through hard times. I am trying to become a “coupon diva” but I do not have a printer, and it will take me a while. I guess my question is; can I still save the same amount of money on just buying the Sunday paper?

I am new to couponing I started collecting the Sunday paper coupons the first of May I don’t know when to start using them. Should I wait until the item is 50% off? I have used a few but still spending to much money. Can you give me some advice. Thanks, Sherry

Jill,

The only store that I know of where it matters about the coupon order is at Walgreens (and that may have changed, since I rarely shop there anymore). You should give manufacturer’s coupons first and then Walgreens coupons.

when using bother store and manufacturer’s coupons, are you supposed to use manufacturer’s coupons first and then store coupons or the other way around?

This may seem redundant but I wanted to add “defintions” tip.
Blinkies – are dispursed from dispensers with blinking lights in the aisles at the grocery stores (mostly Kroger in MI, Dominicks and Jewel in Chicago).

Corrie @ "Cents"able Momma — Sat, 30 May 2009 19:24:17 +0000

Hi Lecia,

I have never tried it myself, because I didn't think it would work. But, I have done some research online, and it appears that it should work. You are only using 1 coupon per item.

I have a question about coupons. I have a B1G1 free coupon on Gillette shampoo. Can I stack that coupon with another coupon, for $2.00 off of 1 bottle of Gillette shampoo?

Hi Fat, Single Mom! Thanks for reading my blog. That's a good question about catalinas. I was surprised that I didn't address them in this post (I have added them now).

A catalina coupon comes for the small printer next to the register. The Walgreens Register Rewards print here. Plus, it can print other coupons...sometimes the coupons print for everyone and sometimes they print based on something that you purchased.

What are catalina deals? I keep seeing the term everywhere, but no explanation? Is it something specific to stores in a certain region?

Hi Anonymous,

Thanks for the question. Troops overseas can use expired coupons for 6 months past the expiration dates at their overseas commissaries. So, the Happy Housewife has organized a program called Coupons for the Troops. Click here (http://www.thehappyhousewife.com/thank-you/) to see the details about the program and where to send you coupons.

Thanks for reading!

I save ALL the coupons from the Sunday paper, but use hardly any of them. Is there any place I can send these unused coupons?
