Everyone is looking for ways to save money these days, and one of the oldest and most overlooked ways to save a TON of money when shopping is by using coupons!
We regularly use coupons to save money on our family grocery shopping, and want to help others remember that this option is there and learn to utilize it!
We clip coupons from the Sunday papers (we choose a local paper in an effort to help support the local economy) as well as printing coupons from the internet!
Lots of times there are coupons we won’t use, and we also have people that donate their coupon inserts from their papers to us as well, so we wind up with LOTS of duplicate coupons that we won’t use! We figured that it would be nice to pass these off to people who WILL use them, so we decided to start a Coupon Swap Basket in our store!
A coupon swap basket is a way to share/swap coupons with others. By donating your unused/unwanted coupons to the swap basket, you can look through the coupons donated by others. What you need to do is simple: Cut out all the Sunday coupons. Take what you want. Put the remaining coupons in a Ziploc bag along with an index card (please sign the index card). Add your bag to the swap basket. Instructions on the actual swap basket will explain how to keep track of which coupon bags you have already perused. (Simple method, trust me!) All in all, the main point is to help everyone find more of the coupons they want/need.
If you DO NOT use coupons, please think of those that do. Please donate your Sunday coupon inserts (no cutting required) to our swap basket. You can leave them under the swap basket and I will gladly cut and add them to the box for others to use!
You can find the Coupon Swap Basket right here at Twice Loved Boutique during regular business hours, or you may call ahead to make arrangements to stop by at another time!
If you are interested in printing coupons at home, you can find printable coupons at many manufacturer websites as well as these sites:
