Coupon 101: Getting coupons for your favorite products

Hey everyone! Thanks again for all the great emails and added readership every day! I have a site meter so I can see where everyone is logging in from and it's amazing!

I did a "round table" tonight for some friends in the neighborhood and I got a great question.

"When you find a product you love, how to do you save on it and get it at the best price possible?"
Thanks Jennifer O. for your question by the way!

Here's my answer:
1. Start watching price and sales ad. Check CouponMom when the lists come out each week and see if it's on sale. It might take the 12 week sales cycle but if you know it's a product you love and will only use- that's long term and with multiple coupons, when it does hit its rock bottom price... stock up and then you can wait the next sales cycle out.
2. Check the company websites. I commented tonight that if you really pay attention to commercials right now- several offer coupons to print by going to their website.
3. Call or email the company. Tell them how much you love their product, tell all your friends how great it is and ASK for coupons. Most will send you tons of coupons for being a loyal customer. I can't guarantee you will get coupons but it certainly can't hurt to ask!

And like I said tonight- there are items that you aren't going to maximize your savings on but when you save so much on other items you can use- you can splurge!

Again- comment or email your questions. Great questions like this one can help everyone!
