[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 552806, member: 11791"] It takes time to build your stock of coupons. AND time to get the hang of the planning of the sales. And the two go together. I do the stacking thing all the time - but in Canada, we don't get close to "free". So, I can tell you the theory, the "how to maximize your coupons" theory - because I use it. Get organized. I use envelopes by category... dental, paper products, personal hygene, canned goods, etc. Every coupon you can find, goes in there. Every time you add a coupon, you check for other coupons for that same product... and put them together. AND check expiry dates. Every time you go past a store-coupon (on the shelf) you take some... and add to your collection. This is as good as I get for savings, but it's worth it... Toothpaste. Reg price 4.95 per tube. Sale price 3.95. Coupon from inside the previous box of toothpaste for 50 cents - have four of those. Flyer coupon "two for one", with coupon. And a store-shelf coupon for 75 cents off one, max two per coupon. (lost you yet?) So... I buy four. First two are 3.95 - 50 cents - 75 cents = 2.70 each. Next two are free. So, I just got four tubes of toothpaste for a total of 5.40. Two free, and one for 45 cents (based on full retail cost, or 1.45 based on normal sale price) You only buy what is on sale, and then add on multiple coupons. [/QUOTE]
