Get your 3/14 insert coupons now!

If you’re wanting to start a stockpile or are working on building your stockpile, getting multiple coupons to match up with hot sales is the key. I’ve also learned that you have to jump on the coupons right when they come out because they go quickly these days.

My Coupon Hunter has posted the coupons that will be in the 3/14 inserts, so you can get them now! There will be two inserts in this Sunday’s paper ~ one Red Plum and one Smartsource.

Here are some codes you can use on the site as well:

HOT – 10% off orders over $5
SHIP – Free shipping on orders over $5 (you can combine this with the code above)
TEN – 10% off orders over $5
PRIORITY – Free shipping on orders over $15

Here are the “hot” coupons I see:

RED PLUM:

$.50/1 Band Aid Products (expires 5/31/10) – get these for cheap at Walgreens and Target this next week and then submit for the Princess and the Frog $5 rebate (if you’re planning on buying the movie)

$1/1 Herbal Essences shampoo, conditioner, or styling product (expires 4/30/10) – pair this with the free styling product WYB shampoo, conditioner or styling aid and get two products for cheap (these coupons expire on 3/31 and you can find them on My Coupon Hunter, too!)!

$.75/1 McCormick Spice, Herb, Extract, or Food Color (expires 4/11/10) – there are many McCormick spices that are in the $1 range at Walmart, so you can get these for close to free with this coupon!

$1/1 Tropicana Trop50 orange juice (expires 5/31/10) – $1/1 orange juice coupons are hard to come by! This goes on sale for $2 fairly often, so you should be able to get it for $1 after coupon!

SMARTSOURCE:

$.35/1 Eggland’s Best eggs (expires 6/30/10) – if your grocery stores triple coupons, I can usually get these eggs for less than the store brand using the coupon

$.50/1 KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce or marinade (expires 5/15/10) – if your grocery stores double coupons, watch for 10/$10 sales and get this for free!

$2/1 Hidden Valley Farmhouse Originals dressing (expires 5/15/10) – Hidden Valley Ranch is our favorite dressing and coupons don’t come out very often, so I’m excited about this one!

$1/1 Lay’s New Potato Chips (expires 4/25/10) – I just tried these for the first time yesterday and they are good!

$.75/1 Lysol toilet bowl cleaner (expires 4/13/10) – these go on sale BOGO free at Walgreens about once a month so I pair that sale with two of these coupons to stock up!

I get this question, a lot:

Is it worth it to “buy” coupons when your goal is saving money? It seems kind of counterproductive.

If you are looking to stockpile items on a budget, the best way to do this is to pair coupons with sale prices and in order to really stockpile items, you are going to need multiple coupons. I know that some people buy multiple newspapers, but that doesn’t really “work” for me because then I have the extra work of coupon up with all of that paper. Using a coupon clipping service or eBay to get coupons is more time and cost effective for me because then I’m only getting coupons for the things that I want and need and they’re already clipped!

The savings far outweigh what I spend.
