Two Frugal Chicks

People often ask me how I get so many coupons when I do a really big shopping trip for the food bank.

I use a coupon clipping service. They generally cost 5 to 10 cents per coupon, but when I can get a product for nearly free, I go for it.

I will use every coupon I have available to me then order the remainder from a clipping service. I did this when I ordered 1000 boxes of cereal for instance.

You really have to make sure you order from a service that can get them to you right away because you don’t need them after the sale ends. But when I spot an item that will be free with a coupon, I will get as many as I can. It also takes a cooperative Store Manager who will be willing to work with you on placing the order and ringing it up. Which they generally are happy to do. It takes a bit of coordinating, but pays off big.

If you want to coupon, but don’t want to buy the paper and cut them out, this may be the answer for you.

Have fun!.
