Do Your Coupons Expire 1/31?

Several coupons expire 1/31. Check your coupons so you don't miss out on a great deal.

As you go through your coupons to see what expire at the end of the month set them in 2 piles.

1. Items you purchase on a regular basis and need soon.
   
2. Items you would only buy if you were to add them to a sale price or a doubler, and items you don't need in the three weeks.
   

Coupons in pile 1:

• prioritize them
• separate them between this weeks shopping and next weeks shopping to control your budget.
  
• If you can't use all the coupons don't worry about there will probably be more soon. Don't overspend just to use your coupons.

Coupons in pile 2:

• Hang on to them just in case you find them on sale in the next couple of weeks.
• When the weekly sales come out check them against your pile 2. If they expire that's okay, you don't want to buy things just because you have a coupon.
• After they expire you can recycle them or send them to a military family. Sending them to a military family might help you from purchasing things you don't need. Military families can use them up to three months after expiration date.

This system helps me, I hope you might find it useful.
