Often, coupons for a large dollar amount will come available (especially on Facebook) or perhaps you can even get your hands on a coupon for a buy one, get one free product or a free product without another purchase required. It would be easy to grab it and head to the store, but if you use a little bit of strategy, you can get an even bigger deal.
Here are a couple of ideas:
Wait for a buy one, get one free sale. If you have a large value coupon, you can use it on a BOGO sale and potentially get both for free. In a best case scenario where you can use two coupons on a BOGO sale, you can even end up with overage which can be applied to the rest of your purchase.
If you have a coupon for a buy one, get one free or a free product, you can use it to get two items for free. The coupon applies towards the item you would be paying for and the other is covered by the store’s offer. Please note that not all stores allow you to use a BOGO coupon on top of a BOGO sale.
Watch for an incentive deal. Some stores will offer special deals where you purchase a group of products or reach a particular value and get a gift card or similar incentive to spend within their store. For instance, CVS will frequently state that if you buy $30 worth of a set of products, you can get $10 back in Extra Care Bucks. When you use your high value, BOGO or free coupons within a deal like this, you are cutting the amount you will spend out of your pocket to achieve the deal.
