For any of you out there that are new to the couponing thing a tip I have to offer is:
Ask for rainchecks!!
If I had not asked for a rain check on the cereal in the previous post I would have missed out on a free box of it! Try buying the item as soon as possible when the ad comes out/sale starts. Then go back at the end of the sale when you know the chances of the store being sold out of the item is good. This allows you to buy now and then stock up later with the sale price because some items go bad before you can use up multiple ones. I've done this with cream cheese...I bought some at the beginning of the sale and then went back later to get a rain check for the item (rain checks usually have NO expiration date or a pretty far-off expiration date.)
