A great tip when using coupons is to keep track of the expiration date. You don't want to walk into a store, pick up an item and then present the cashier with a coupon that's expired. Some stores might still honor the deal but most won't, and you'll be embarrassed. Be on the lookout for "Buy One Get One Free" deals. These are some of the best bargains around. To make the deal even better, see if there is an additional manufacturer's coupon you can use with the store offer. You can practically get items for free with these rare opportunities. Buying food in bulk is a great way to save money, but do not buy items in abundance just because you have coupons for them. While having a lot of canned goods is not an issue, it is not practical to have too many of certain items, like peanut butter. Plan your store trips out before you leave on your coupon adventure. The savings you can get from coupons can be extremely cut into by an inefficient use of your car. If you cross the town three times during the day, your gas usage could really hit your day's savings.
