Benefits to buying extra coupons.
This week I bought some extra coupons on Ebay. I just wanted to share the benefits of doing this in case you have never done this before.
I get 6 newspapers delivered to my door on Sundays. If I like the coupons I buy extra. If the coupons were not that exciting except for a couple certain coupons, I buy the coupons only for the items I wanted.
This week
I bought 20 $1 off Ronzoni Pasta Coupons for $4 on Ebay.
These pastas will go on sale for $1 so I paid $4 for 20 boxes of pasta. So I will pay $.20 a box which is still a good deal, and this is the brand that I prefer.
I also saw that KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce is $1.20 at Target, and there were $1 off in the 5/15 Smart Source. I live in Sacramento, and I did NOT get this coupon. So, I ordered 20 of those for $5. WIth the sale, and the coupons, I will pay $.40 a bottle after buying the coupons and sauce. To me, $.40 is a great stock up price for this brand especially.
Buying Coupons are a great idea if
1. It is an item you want to stockpile
2. You don’t want to buy more papers for just 1 coupon
3. Another area received a coupon you would like.
4. They come already cut out!
5. You are new to couponing and do not have a lot of coupons yet. You can order full inserts of previous weeks.
I have had a bad experience buying coupons on Ebay once. The coupons were photocopied even though they looked like the manufacturer coupon from the paper. I would suggest that when ordering off of Ebay, check and make sure the seller does not have any negative comments, and beware when they have 1,000 of the same coupon available!
If you are coming to my May 26 Coupon Class, I will have the inserts from 5/15 available to sell for $1. I think I will have 20 or so available.
