Maximizing your savings

A lot of people say when I coupon I only save a few dollars so its not really worth the time. Well if you want to really save the 80-90% on groceries you have to do these things:
* Wait for sales
* Wait for catalinas or register rewards
* Dont always buy the largest of the item unless your coupon has specific size limits then buy the smallest one. why buy 1 large shampoo for $3 when you can get 3 small ones FREE!
* Combine BoGo coupons with other coupons for Ex: you can use $1/1 Herbal Essence shampoo with a BoGo it will look like this:
(2)Shampoo @ $3= $6
Use a BoGo will deduct $3
Use a $1/1 will deduct $1
Total= $2 for 2 shampoos!
*Combine coupons w/ BoGo Sales @ store will look like this
Q tips on sale for $3 BoGo Free
Use 2 $1/1 (you can use 2 because there are 2 items there)
Total 2 Q tips for $1
*Take the time to look through your coupons
*Save them until they expire, you never know when something will go on sale or get clearanced out!
