Do you want more coupons? Have you ever seen a "hot" price on an item and them rememered you saw a coupon for that product a few weeks ago, but now the coupon is gone? Print your coupons when you SEE them but wait until you plan a shopping trip to USE them. Start a coupon file with printable coupons for the products you know you and your family will use when they come on sale.
The Grocery Smarts lists will now include not only coupons available of the Groups A, B & C lists but will also list coupons when they find them from manufacturers. The link is already available on my sidebar for single coupons. The products are listed alphabetically and when you click on the link it will automatically open a browser to the site so you don't have to close the coupon window.
Each coupon is identified by the date it was included on the list. The date the coupon "disappeared" is also listed. Once a coupon print limit is reached, the coupon is no longer available for print, or "disappears".
**UPDATE: After a call from a new couponer, I wanted let you know that if you print only one coupon at a time (or one coupon to a page) you may get a color product advertisement printed on the remainder of the page. You need to consider your ink and paper as expenses that offset your savings. So. . . you may want to print at least 2 coupons at a time. The coupon printers will print a maximum of three coupons per page. This will eliminate the possible color advertisement. You may want to set your printer to print in black and white only for these coupon prints also, and save your color ink.

I blogged about this earlier in the month, but the new Grocery Smarts lists include information about starting one of these files. I file my printable coupons alphabetically by product name and keep a small notecard in the front of the file with the expiration dates of the coupons. You can read more about my file by clicking on that link. This may be considered to be an OCD tendency, but it works for me. You can find a system that works for you and begin saving even more money today.
