Couponing Tip #7

Understand how coupon overage works because overage can play a HUGE role in reducing your grocery bill.

Here is an example to help explain how overage works:

A product which is on sale for $1 is purchased with a $2/1 manufacturer coupon. The value of the coupon is $1 over the product price. The overage of $1 can then be applied to the cost of other products which are purchased on the same transaction. This is a great way to help discount items like produce or meat.

Note: Many stores won't allow overage with coupons and will just adjust the value of the coupon down to the price of the product.
