Smile Those coupons can add up.

Don't forget that Target, Dollar General and BJ's Wholesale take coupons! Many people that clip coupons don't realize this. If you don't clip coupons...shame on you! Buying the Sunday newspaper can save you $5 easy with coupon savings.

Also, be sure that you join all those customer loyalty programs. You get extra savings in the mail along with additional 'sales' in the store with the card. CVS, Walgreens and some grocery stores have these programs.

Another tip if you shop at Target often is to get a Target Credit Card. Yeah...I know...ick...a credit card. But you usually save 10% when you sign up, and you get points for every dollar you put on the card. After a certain point limit is reached, you can obtain a 10% coupon and use it for the day. If you time it right, you can get 10% off of that LCD TV you've had your eye on. BUT REMEMBER TO PAY OFF THE BALANCE EACH MONTH!!!! REPEAT...PAY OFF THE BALANCE EACH MONTH!

Hope this helps some of you.

I just tried a manufactures coupon at Bed Bath and Beyond this weekend. They take them, so along with the manu coupon I was also able to use one of their 20% off I get in the mail all the time. Awesome price

BBB coupons are often good past the expiration as well (if you don't have an unlimited supply mailed bi weekly like I do). You can also use more than one in a trip, to save on three trips for three items for three coupons.

Target also issues their own coupons, and many coupon sites such as HCW have generators for these to save on paper by printing multiple copies together. You can use a target coupon and a manufacturer's coupon together for quite a good deal.

Not many people know but BBB coupons can be used at LNT ( linen's and things ) and vice versa ( both the 20% off one and the 5 dollar off on 15 ).

It's not exactly a coupon, but our local grocery store has a code you can use to get money off gas at a local station. If you spend $25-$75 you get 5 cents off per gallon, all the way up to 35 cents off a gallon if you spend $350. We usually average 10 cents to 15 cents off. You should see if your local grocery offers this.

We also clip coupons from the Sunday paper, matching them with sales fliers from local stores that also come that day.
