I have decided to add my 2 cents worth to Frugal Friday hosted by Crystal over at Biblical Womanhood. Today I address the much written about grocery store coupons. My tip is that I cut out coupons for things I usually would never, or never would ever buy, because you never know when it might just come in handy. For instance, I bake cookies from scratch, but I did cut out coupons for the tubes of cookie dough you find in the refrigerator section just in case. The other day, I went to the commissary and there they were. Chocolate chip cookie dough on sale for $0.80 per tube. My coupons were for $0.75 off and so I got 2 tubes of cookie dough for 5 cents each. I put them in the freezer at home and the next time someone asks me to bake cookies at the last minute for some event, I can just pull them out, slice and bake. How easy!
Another time, I saved a $4 coupon for a Schick Intuition razor. I wanted to try them, but I wasn't willing to spend $8+ on one. One day, sure enough, I went in and they were on sale for $4.11. I got it for 11 cents! Then later the same store was trying to get rid of their stock and had them on sale for $1.00. I had several coupons for a dollar off and stocked up!

That is a smart way to use coupns! Way to go!
I do that too! You just never know when those things will come in handy!!
That is really great! Do you have some type of system for storing all the extra coupons?
I always regret not clipping those extra coupons when I see sales like that. I think I need to follow your tip!!
Michelle, I have a small expandable file that I keep them in. I would like to find something like a baseball card album to keep them better organized. The best thing for me with all the coupons is that I go through them right before I go to the store and I take my file with me. So, I have a good idea of what I have and then if I see a sale I'm good.
your post is very impressive. I Would love to share the information about your favourite brand items as I too am quite satisfied with deals about these items.
