Do you have a Dawn coupon in your coupon box that you look at each week and wonder why they even bothered to print it? The coupons stack up in your box, but when they are for a low amount, is it really worth your time and effort to cut them out and take to the store? I guess it depends on how much you like to save money. Because there are a few tips that you can follow that will allow you to save even more money without doing much more work in the process. Being a smart shopper and doing some investigation in your area is all it takes.
Doubling a Dawn Coupon
Have you heard of a double coupon policy at your grocery store? You might not have, because even though certain stores have them, they don’t always advertise the fact. What a double coupon policy means is that you can take in a dish soap coupon and the store will automatically double the value of the coupon, just because it is their policy. You don’t need a special membership or a special code in order to get it. Anyone who has a coupon that qualifies will get it doubled.
The double coupon policy for a Dawn coupon will probably work like this. As long as the coupon is under $1.00 in value, it will get doubled. Most stores have a limit of coupons up to one dollar, but check with each store you shop at because they might have a different policy. Go with the store that has the highest limit on the coupons. Also, see if they allow for double coupons all the time or if it is just a specific day of the week. Certain franchises will only allow for printable coupons or manufacturer coupons to be doubled one day of the week. And that’s fine, as long as you make sure to do your shopping on those days.
Use a Dawn Coupon During Sales
Another way to save even more money on your shopping trips is to watch the sales flyers. The store sale ads will come out each week in the newspaper where you probably get your coupons from anyway. Read over the grocery store ads in your area and compare who has the best prices on the items you need that week. Once you have the sale prices down, then go to your coupon box and pull out the printable coupons that you can use on all of the products you want to buy this week.
So, the Dawn coupon that you thought wasn’t very valuable suddenly has increased in value without ever changing. Watch for the store that has the best sale price on the soap and then go in on the double coupon day and use your dish soap coupon then. You might be surprised at how little you pay for the item and all you did was read the sales ad – which you probably do anyway – and shop at a store that has a double coupon policy. If your current grocery store does not, call around and find one that does. Saving twice as much money is worth switching your place to do grocery shopping.
A Dawn coupon can be used at other stores besides a grocery store. Any store that sells the product is required to honor the manufacturer’s coupons. That means the home improvement stores, the drug store, the department store and even the hardware store on the corner that sells the dish soap has to honor the coupon you present to them at the checkout. The only reason they would not have to is if your coupon was for a specific store other than them and they didn’t have a policy to honor competitor’s coupons.
Printable coupons work just like coupons cut from the Sunday newspaper. Clip them out and take to the store to do your shopping each and every week. Now, you only have to buy the items that are on sale and present your coupons, which are doubled, and save twice as much money. You might be able to buy a lot more fun things or take a vacation with all of the money you saved by using a coupon, such as a Dawn coupon, when you shop each week.
