Couponing Tip #6

Consider buying products, which you may not need, to get products you do need. This was one of the hardest concepts for me to wrap my head around when I first started couponing.

Here is an example that might make this weird tip make more sense:

Let's say Walgreens has a promotion in which you earn a $5 Register Reward on your next purchase if you buy 10 Gillette shaving products. The least expensive Gillette product is shaving gel, priced at $2 each. You can get this for free by stacking a Walgreens $1/1 coupon with a Gillette manufacturer $1/1 coupon. With 10 Walgreens coupons and 10 Gillette coupons, you get 10 shaving gels for free plus a $5 Register Reward to use like cash on your next purchase.

So you end up getting 10 shaving gels for free and make $5 to spend on your next transaction.
