Coupons can save you hundreds of dollars on every shopping trip. Knowing how to use them for the best results is easy if you just follow a few tips.

The first thing to do is get a coupon organizer. A binder, recipe box, whatever works for you. A book with clear pages can be helpful in spotting coupons quickly, without all the hassle of searching for them. Place the most recent expiration dates on top so you will use them first.

Put some time aside each week to clip and organize your coupons. Categorize items however you feel is convenient. If you always shop at the same store, you might want to put them in order of the aisles you go down.

Search out the stores that offer double or even triple coupons. And check to see if your store accepts internet coupons.

Try to buy items that are already on sale. Buy one get one items can be extremely cheap, or even free, if you use a coupon.

Buy an extra paper to get double the coupons. If there is a great sale, stock up so you won’t have to buy the item at regular price the next week.
