Coupon Tip: Read Coupon Policies for Better Savings

It is always a good idea to be familiar with the coupon policies of the stores that you shop at most often. It allows you to properly use the coupons in that store, helping you to have good coupon etiquette (not to mention an easier time with coupon use in that store!) But did you know that familiarity with coupon policies can also provide you with helpful information about how to save more money with coupons in that store?

The Chicago Tribune just had a recent article about this topic that proves the tip perfectly. They noted that if you read the coupon policy for the store Jewel, you’ll see the following point:

“Illinois/Iowa: Liquor Coupons that state they are redeemable on a purchase of liquor and a non-alcoholic item are redeemed without the customer having to purchase the liquor item.”

The article goes on to explain that this actually means that if you see a coupon for a free item with a purchase of beer, you don’t actually have to buy the beer but you can still get the item for free! That’s right; in those states it’s illegal to require you to buy alcohol to get a deal so if such a deal is offered then you still get the free item or discount on the non-alcohol item. There’s a lot of potential savings for you there if you’re familiar with this policy!

Of course, you may run into cashiers at the store who aren’t familiar with the intricate policies their store has on coupons. That’s why it’s important for you to learn the policies yourself. You may even want to print out a hard copy of the policy for each store that you frequent to bring with you to show cashiers in odd circumstances such as this. And learning the coupon laws in your own state is a good idea as well!
