Clearance and coupons?

Clearance deals! Do you pair clearance with coupons? Have you ever gotten anything for free when it was on clearance? Has a price ever surprised you at the register?

I just wanted to tell you all with all the great clearance I have been seeing I have gotten so many great deals. I love to share my clearance finds and tell people how to pair up clearance and coupons.

Some people do not realize that clearance is not only because items are expiring or damaged, usually its just discontinued and they are getting a new label. These things still make the product perfectly fine and usable! They also make for a great bargain for myself and so many of the frugal people out there.

Whether you find clearance at Target with the great red stickers and their fantastic endcaps filled with items that are discounted. Have you ever thought about purchasing a item on clearance and still think the price is high so decided not to? Scan it. I am telling you scan those items and the ones that are 33% may be 50% and was missed during the time they did mark downs? Always scan items to double check the price. You may find the golden deal!

CVS has some bright yellow stickers with the percentage off, and once again this week I scanned those items at 50% off and they are 75% off. I scored some Huggies diapers for a dollar this week when I paired the clearance with a coupon! Now if you have ever purchased diapers a good deal is usually $5... but $1!

Look for clearance no matter what the store might be. You can always pair the clearance with a coupon and make an even better deal. Usually you can get yourself some great prices on items you use every day! Keep your eyes peeled and please let me know of the bargains you find!
