Coupons Are Your Friends!
So what do coupons have to do with turning trash to treasure? It’s simple. You might consider coupons for stuff you don’t use trash, but if you use them right, they could be a very smart way to get inventory for your business!
Now I know we have all heard about using coupons to stockpile. If you have been living under a rock (like I have, tee-hee), let me explain the basics. Some folks use coupons to match up with store sales and buy items at very, very little or NO money. Yep….FREE. For example, if I have a coupon for a certain toothpaste that is for fifty cents off and my store has that particular toothpaste on sale for one dollar, I can get it for free. My store doubles coupons up to a dollar so I would use my coupon to get a dollar off of one dollar. That would make it free, folks! Ok, so what if I have ten or twenty of those same coupons? You get my point now, right? So this is great if you happen to use that particular brand of toothpaste, but what if you don’t? As we’ve already established this week, just because you don’t, doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t. If you can find coupons for products that you don’t need or don’t need 20 of, you can get them for free or for very cheap and sell them as lots on ebay! Anything from shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, vitamins and even seasoning. Couponing and stockpiling is simple but it is also an art. LOL! You have to learn to get the hang of it but it is worth looking into.
I really hope I have given you some useful tips on how to turn things that you never thought would be profitable in your business, into some good money makers! I want to thank everyone who read, commented and encouraged me! This was also my first experience blogging and I was really nervous (could you tell?).
The winner of the $20 gift card to my Ebay store is…. totally kidding, lol! The winner of the $20 gift card to the retailer of her choice is Tammy-4puppydogtails! Congratulations Tammy!
Thanks again and we hope to see you all in the HCTS forums!

Yay Tammy!
Congratulations Tammy!
Thanks everyone! Yay!!!!
Also, is there a place on HCTS that goes into the coupon thing? It sounds interesting. I love getting things for free, and it seems it would be even better if you could make a profit on it:)
Tammy, there are some tips in the money management or coupon forums but I have been learning from some other mommy blogs. HTH
Xochilt, if that is your pantry, you need to come over and organize mine!
Tammy, I teach a coupon class! We may be offering some online classes soon…maybe even a coupon one.
Congrats Tammy!
Xochilt, thanks so much for all the great tips this week!
Melisha, NO WAY~ I don’t even have a pantry, lol!
Cool, I will have to check the other forums out! And… an online coupon course sounds interesting.
How do you find blogs that talk about coupons?
