Ready to save some money? National Coupon Month gives you the opportunity to do that. There will be lots of extra coupons for you this month. Many of them will be for better savings than typical. In addition to using coupons, there are other ways to save this month. Try some of these ideas!

Tips for Saving During National Coupon Month

* Use a coupon organizer or binder. You can’t save money with the coupons that you misplaced!

* Use the store coupons. You can be certain that the store will accept their own coupons (unless they are expired).

* Clean out your freezer and do an inventory. Companies that make frozen foods tend to produce extra coupons during National Coupon Month. Take the time to figure out what frozen foods you already have. This will help you to pick up what you need (and save big). It also prevents you from spending money on things you don’t actually need more of just yet.

* Read the store’s coupon policy. Will they allow you to stack coupons? Do they take competitor’s coupons? Keeping up with the store’s current coupon policy will help you to follow their rules and save money.

* Start using the app that goes along with a store’s loyalty program. You may find special offers and digital coupons that are only offered through the app.

* While you are at it, browse through the digital coupons that are on your favorite grocery store’s website and load the good ones (digitally) onto your loyalty card. Those coupons will be automatically used when you check out.

* Read the store’s weekly ad. See if you have coupons for the products that are on sale. Those of you who excel at mathematical problems can probably figure our way into some awesome deals this September! Compare the savings at one store with the savings at a different one.

* Start your stock pile. You can do it for less money this month than if you wait until October to get started. Use plenty of coupons on products that can be stored for a long time. Before you shop, it is a good idea to decide where you will put the stock pile. How much space do you have?

* Check the ingredients on the store brands. Some will be exactly the same as a similar product with a popular, well recognized, brand name. Which is cheaper? Do you have a coupon for either of them?
