Don't be afraid to wait

I have learned that patience pays.
As a coupon-er I have learned that if you wait you can get some really great deals.
I love Christmas time for this, After Christmas many stores are left with tons of scented items that will be marked down 75% off.  I love this! This year my friend and I kept many scented coupons and the scented items were marked down and we got one brand all free and the rest for a very reasonable price.

Also being a coupon-er doesn't necessarily mean you need a coupon for everything to me its being Frugal with every purchase.

After Christmas there are so many items that you can store away for the following year.

For example this year wrapping paper 6 packs were selling at $8.00 that's crazy and with a bag of bows selling at $6.00 a bag is $14.00 all together and that is not even including name tags. I'm sorry but I am not paying that.

So I went out and about shopping for prices and the (Boxing day) sales prices were not really all that great so I "Waited" and what do you know ; a six pack a wrapping paper I paid only .75Cents.

My advice besides the advice of waiting would be if you are going to buy items post any holiday do not do it the week after that is a big no no in my books.

Wait at least two to four weeks checking the stores weekly. It's going to be February in just a few short days and I still see some Christmas stock at some stores.

I wouldn't suggest buying food items such as boxed chocolates and Halloween candy for the following year because these items do expire, But decor and other non perishable items Go For It!!!!!


Happy savings and couponing!!!
