The anatomy of a coupon PART 1

Coupons  can come in many forms, the above example is an example of a Sunday paper coupon.  This one is a  Manufacturer  coupon. Meaning the maker of the product is the producer of the coupon.  This seems obvious but becomes important when stacking your coupons.   You will also find an expiration date, which the majority of store will NOT take expired coupons.
The body of the coupon will show the value of the coupon (50 cents) the product (pistachios) and the restrictions.  Which in this example the package must me 6oz or larger.    It is also wise to read the first line or so or the small print.  This will let you know  things like limits of coupons in one transaction, or if it cannot be doubled.   Knowing these will help when you are checking out.

This example is an IP or Internet printed coupon.  I use mypoints to print my coupons.  You can find links at couponmom.com to match and print coupons.   You will only be able to print a certain number of coupons PER COMPUTER, so if you have several computers you can print more.  Many stores have specific rules regarding IP's but  usually it is not a problem to use them.
So print, cut and save...... see you in the checkout lines.
