When do we use our coupons?

• In most cases, we wait for a great sale and stack our coupons with the sale… this is how we save so much money using coupons!
• We’ll use them as soon as we need them (if we can’t wait for a stockpile price).
• We’ll use them IF the coupon is about to expire and it is something we would use (we then usually take it to a store that has fairly low prices every day).  We won’t stock up, just buy what we need.

Do you see any coupons you want to be sure and use?

THE RULE:

- Every fruGAL knows she never uses a coupon until there is a great price on the item.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE:

- IF we need the item right away
- IF the coupon is about to expire and it is something we would use (we then usually take it to a store that has fairly low prices every day).

That is a LONG list of coupons!   You’ll notice that 147 of them expire next Monday the 31st (many of which are in the 12/26 P&G.  Are you seeing any coupons you want to be sure to use?  List them and the deal in the comments!

Don’t need your coupons? You can always donate them to Coupons for the Community or the Overseas Coupon Program!

Okay FAB readers, get your service hats on and listen up!

Coupons for the Community is a new non-profit program partnering with the Idaho Foodbank. It is a volunteer organization that helps over 220 charitable organizations throughout the state of Idaho by using your unwanted store and manufacturer coupons to stretch the limited dollars available from government funding and public donations. They in turn donate those goods to the Idaho Foodbank.

Sounds like a way to give back that is right up our alley!

Here’s how you can help:

All of us here at Fab Frugal are so excited about this program! As couponers, many of us don’t have the means to donate as much money as we would like to. So knowing there is a way to help out our community with the resources we already have at our finger tips, well that is FAB by us!!

We will definitely be participating, and we encourage all of you to do the same!

If you do not have this program in your area you can still donate your coupons to the Overseas Military Program!
