This webinar dives deep into the drug stores. We start at a very elementary level to build the foundation, but by the end, you will be ready to tackle even the toughest drug store challenge!
This tutorial covers why retailers distribute coupons. How stores get paid back - even with more people couponing than ever it's still a win for everyone as long as everyone works together to follow proper guidelines.
2. Where to Find Coupons
Sunday Papers
Online-from trusted sites, eCoupons
On Facebook (product pages)
In the stores/gas stations (peelies,
blinkies,catalina, CVS coupon machine)
Magazines (All You)
Company email lists/websites
Clipping Services
Coupons are EVERYWHERE!
3. Creating A Binder
Baseball card sheets
Scissors
Calculator
Pencil Holder
Notepad
Pen
Binder
Store Policies (found at www.couponerscorner.com)
4. Building a Coupon Wallet
Coupon Wallet or Envelope (Dollar Tree)
Scissors
Pen
Notepad
Calculator
Store Policies (found at www.couponerscorner.com)
5. The File Method
Some prefer to file inserts by date. In my opinion, this
is a great thing to do with “misc. coupons”. In other
words, file (by date) the coupons that you know your
family wouldn’t normally use. In the event that a
sale pops up before they expire, you have the
potential to get freebies or possibly even a money
maker. Just don’t forget to date them! This is
important for Coupon Database usage.
*Coupon clipping and organization shouldn’t cost tons
of time to be worthwhile. Find what works for
you and go with it!
6. Coupon Database
You can use the coupon database at
www.couponerscorner.com
This database will allow you to search for ANY coupon at
anytime.
This tool is 100% free to use!
Enter the item and click search, it will show you all coupons
available. For example, $1/1 Crest (1/1/12 RP). This means
there is a $1 off any 1 Crest product coupon in the 1/1/12
Red Plum insert. *This date is important if you use the “file
method”.
7. Store Ads, and Match Ups
You will want to look at your local store ads every
week.
This will help you memorize “good deal prices” or
“stock up prices”.
Compare your coupons to store ads to see if you can
spot a good deal! *coupon database is very handy here!
Use our store match ups each week to “aid” your
own. You may find deals we missed!

$0.49
Translation:

coupon in the 1/1/12 Smart Source insert. If you use
it, you will only have to pay $0.49
10. Deal Example #2
Quilted Northern Bathroom Tissue $6.99
Use: $3/1 (2/4/12 RP)
Get $1.00 ECB
$2.99
Translation:
Tissue is on sale for $6.99, CVS will give you $1 Extra
Credit Bucks if you buy it. You have a $3 off 1 coupon
from the 2/4/12 Rep Plum insert. You will pay $3.99
OOP (Out of Pocket), and you will get $1 ECB back on
your receipt.
11. Deal Example #3
Pepsi $5.00
Use: $1.50/1 (www.target.com printable)
Use: $0.75/1 (3/5/12 PM)
$2.75
Translation:
This is a “stack”. You can use a store coupon with a
manu. coupon at some stores, in this case: Target.
This is a GREAT way to maximize savings!
12. Coupon Tips
Wait until your item is on sale unless you must have
the item now. Patience pays off
Use a BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale.
Stack Store Coupons with Manufacture's Coupon
(Target, CVS, Dollar General, etc)
Go by the text description, not the picture on your
coupon.
Follow Store Policies, bring it with you!
13. Shopping List
After you have prepared your own match up (or used
ours) make a shopping list to take to the store.
List the store first, then the items that you want to
buy. List the coupons under each item.
Pull your coupons as you prepare your list-this saves
time in the store. I keep mine in the pencil holder of
my binder, but a simple envelope will do!
Some label multiple envelopes with the store name,
and put the coupons in the correct envelope.
(example: CVS, Kmart, Kroger). These can be used
over and over.
14. Check Out Time
Watch every item price as it rings up, be sure you are
getting the right price.
Watch every coupon as it is scanned, be sure you are
receiving the correct discount (If your store doubles,
ensure that it did).
If there is a discrepancy, be polite and respectful.
Always adhere to the store policies, and expect the
same in return.
Expect a delay, it happens from time to time.
Cashiers are more cautious than ever about coupons.
Understand their point of view as well.
15. Stockpiles
Learn the sales cycle for your area (usually 6-8
weeks) and begin to plan for it…this takes time.
Learn “stock up prices” so you know when to buy
extras, keep track of your purchases, so it’s more
clear to you, if needed.
Keep your items in rotation, so nothing goes bad.
Always check expiration dates (preferably in the
store) and organize your “stockpile” at home
accordingly.
16. Closing Notes
Remember that couponing is suppose to help you
save…not cost you time and money. It takes a little
to get started, but in the end, you will LOVE the
benefits!
If you are able to make donations, please do! There
are so many people that could benefit from your
abilities as a couponer!
Confused? Just ask!
