What you'll learn:

How to Get Coupons

Learning where to get coupons ā€” especially manufacturer coupons ā€” is vital if you want to cut down on your grocery bill. There are different types of coupons, many of which are digital and donā€™t require any actual clipping. Some coupons can be loaded to your storeā€™s loyalty card and automatically applied at checkout with your phone number. Other coupons can be scanned from a barcode on your phone. Some rebate coupons can be redeemed by uploading a photo of your receipt. And then there are the tried-and-true coupons you can print at home or clip from the Sunday newspaper.

Ultimate List for Where to Get the Best Coupons

At KCL, one of the ways we make it easy to shop smarter is by aggregating thousands of coupons into one grocery coupon database so all you have to do is type in the brand you want (for example, ā€œColgate couponsā€) or the product youā€™re looking for (ā€œtoothpaste couponsā€) to find a human-verified list of coupons you can use.

How to Coupon for Beginners

If you want to learn how to extreme coupon, youā€™ve got to start with the basics: coupon stacking, coupon fine print, and creating a coupon stockpile are all fundamentals beginners must learn. If it seems overwhelming, consider recruiting a friend to learn with you. Thatā€™s what worked for me and Heather.

Once youā€™re ready to jump in and learn how to start couponing, here are our top 5 things every coupon shopper needs to know to become an extreme couponer.

Best Stores to Coupon

Nearly every store in the country accepts manufacturer coupons ā€” even military commissaries and convenience stores. Thatā€™s because stores get reimbursed by the manufacturer for the value of each coupon. For example, General Mills pays Walmart each time you redeem a Cheerios coupon.

The only major stores that donā€™t take manufacturer coupons are Costco, Samā€™s Club, Aldi and Big Lots.

Each store has their own set of rules for using coupons, called coupon policies. We have our opinions about which coupon policies are best.

Our advice for beginner couponers is to choose one store, learn their policies, download their app as well as our Krazy Coupon Lady app. Make sure you read the storeā€™s couponing guide before planning your first shopping haul:

How to Grocery Shop on a Budget, Even Without Coupons

When it comes to finding the cheapest place to grocery shop, itā€™s not only about stacking and stockpiling. There are actually a lot more out-of-the-box ways to save money on groceries. Check out just a few of our favorites.

Giving Back Through Couponing

If couponing can cut my $700/month grocery bill in half,
imagine what it could do for my community.

That was the thought I had about a year after Heather and I started KCL. Iā€™d always wanted to be a charitable person, but I felt like other than giving my time, I had nothing in my bank account to give. Couponing changed that.

I decided instead of just giving a portion of the money I saved couponing to established charities, I could use my couponing skills to make an impact ā€” like purchasing $1,000 worth of school supplies for just $300 and donating those to families in need.

From this idea, the Krazy Coupon Lady Foundation was born. Today, we come alongside our local refugee population to provide smart shopping education and household goods ā€” all purchased with coupons. One of our annual traditions is donating backpacks filled with school supplies to refugee children.

Weā€™re always on the lookout for a great deal that we can amplify ā€” even filling two buses full of kids to take to a free Build-A-Bear event. And weā€™re not alone; our coupon community has told us stories of donating pet food to animal shelters or toiletries to womenā€™s shelters. There are innumerable ways couponing can amplify your ability to give back, potentially leaving you not just prepared, but poised to help during a natural disaster.

*Gig workersā€™ pay (Instacart, Doordash, Shipt) relies on tips and so shoppers should always tip those service people. Tips are often not allowed for store employees who fulfill grocery pickup orders; they are paid an hourly wage just like any other in-store position.
