Thanks to RedPlum for this story
Read on to find out which items it makes the most sense to stockpile, and how much you can expect to save.
1) Paper products: (paper towels, toilet tissue, facial tissue) “You generally save 25-50 percent with coupons, but you can save more from time-to-time”, says Turner.
2) Over-the-Counter Medications: Pharmacies often run rebate programs, which can save you up to 100 percent of the purchase price, says Turner.
3) First Aid Items: Expect to save 25-75 percent off the full price of first aid products with a coupon.
4) Razors: The key to getting huge discount on items like razors is to combine coupons with drugstore loyalty programs, advises Tara Kuczykowsk, who runs a blog called Deal Seeking Mom. “For example, last week you could have purchased Gillette Fusion Gamer Razors at CVS for $7.99. There was a coupon in Sunday’s paper for $4 off one of these razors, and when you purchased it using your CVS ExtraCare card you earned $4 in ExtraCare Bucks that you could use on any item in the store”, she says. (Keep an eye out for great printable coupons for health and beauty products here on RedPlum.)
5) Toothbrushes and Toothpaste: According to Kuczykowski it’s often possible to find deals of 50-100 percent off these items.
6) Salad Dressing: Look to save 50-75 percent off with coupons – “especially if you have a store that doubles coupons”, advises Melissa Garcia, publisher of Consumer Queen.
7) Cereal: You can save 50-75 percent off cereal with sales and coupons. Garcia recommends looking for coupons in the paper and online, along with coupons on the actual box that can be used for other items. (And don't forget your mailbox and e-mail inbox for additional RedPlum deals.)
8) Frozen Veggies: Expect to save 50-100 percent. According to Garcia, frozen veggies can often be found for much less than their canned brethren because they run sales and coupons regularly.
9) Pet Food: Turner says it’s common to save 25-50 percent with pet food coupons, although sometimes you’ll find “Try Me Free” coupons on pet food, which is when she suggests stashing even more.
