GET YOUR COUPON ON....


COUPON

Definition: a printed form, often distributed as part of an advertisement, entitling the bearer to purchase a specific item of merchandise at a discount; or, a similar form which may be submitted to the issuer to obtain goods or information. Such coupons may be issued by the manufacturer (manufacturer's coupon) or by a retail establishment; in the latter case they may then be redeemed only at that particular retail store.


I recently learned from Thanh's sister-in-law "how to shop smart." I've always LOVED bargain shopping, but I didn't know you can get stuff for free or for dirt cheap! She taught me to keep alert to any coupons I see in the newspaper as well as searching online. F.E: Rite-Aid has a coupon for $2 off Johnson & Johnson baby essentials: baby wash, cream, gel, shampoo, conditioner, desitin . Sure, I have no kids (phew), BUT I have a bunch of friends expecting. I used some coupons on some of the items I also found online ($1 off or buy 3 items and get an additional $ 3 off) along with the rite-aid coupon for each item and I kid you not....I got a bunch of baby stuff for either free of super cheap ($1.29 per item, normally $4-5 dollars). Things add up!


The Rite-Aid Manager was hating on me, but it's not my fault that I know how to stretch my coupons. Plus, what does she care? It's a manufacturer's coupon. She gave me a hard time about it, but I didn't let her get to me. I told her if you don't scan my coupon, I will make sure to tell your store manager/regional manager and let's just say she scanned the damn coupon and it worked.
