One of the key couponing techniques that we teach at Grocery Smarts is that you need to have one set of coupons per consumer in your household. I have four in my household, so I get four Sunday papers every week. The reason I do this (and the reason Grocery Smarts teaches this) is so that when a good sale comes along, I can stock up and not have to run out to the store the next time I run out for the item. I want to shop my pantry, not the store. We know that sales run on a 12-week cycle, so having enough to get you through the 12 weeks is key.
When I got my four papers this past Sunday I couldn't help noticing how perfect the timing was - and I had to bring it to your attention. Electrosol released a $2.50 coupon the first part of January. At that time I stocked up on dish detergent with my four coupons and am now on my last box, knowing it's time to stock up again. BINGO! Four papers, four coupons for $2.50 off Electrosol at my front door on Sunday. Now I will sit tight until Grocery Smarts matches a sale with that coupon (the other technique we teach at a couponing class) and I will rolling in the soap again.
Now, did anybody do the math on this deal? Just in coupons for this one product I will save $20. Can you imagine how much more you can save when you start using multiple coupons on other products that you buy anyway?

This is something I've yet to do... I faithfully buy the paper and cut coupons (and use them!), but I've never gotten more than one copy. Even with just my one copy though, the amount of money I can save is astounding!
