Confessing my love for coupons
May. 27th, 2011 05:04 pmFound some great coupons and refunds online and went out to cash them in today. There are people who think using coupons and refunds are more trouble then they are worth, but if your income is low they are great opportunities to save money. The basic rules of coupons/refunds/daily groceries money saving:
1. it is only a good deal if you had to buy the item anyway
2. read the rules carefully. For refunds you often need to send in the bar code and/or the receipt. Ask for separate receipt or plan your shopping if you have several items for refund actions. As for coupons, there is usually a limit to the amount of items per coupon.
3. stocking up is good, but don't go overboard. There is really no need to buy 10 liters of milk if you live by yourself, no matter how cheap they are.
Just in case other Dutch readers are interested, I'll post a link to the coupon.
1. try a free vegetarian product - bought Valess burgers, they sell for 3,19 (OMG expensive!)
2. coupon for 30% off from RiceDream. Saved 1,26, might buy two more next week
3 free toilet paper + donation to WWF. Will get the 3,19 back for the tp and WWF will receive a 3,19 donation from Page
Things I would try if I would eat products with lactose:
1 Philadelphia duo. mmmmm... free cheese!
2 free breakfast drink. I drank these a lot in the past years, they taste good.
3. more free cheese! Free cheese for everyone! I miss cheese :(
That saves me about 9 euro this week on groceries. I'm using a movie coupons tonight because I'm going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ikaiya and her man. This weekend and next weekend I'll go to the birthday of two friends/ex-trainees and I found a book for one of them that I can pay for with a book coupon. Yay for coupons! If you are Dutch and probably just as crazy as I am about coupons, post your favorite coupon websites/blogs so we can share the fun.
