One of the comments we hear often is that most coupons are for bad-for-you processed food. People wonder what's the point in saving so much money on food you shouldn't be eating anyway.
I have heard comments like this so often since I started using coupons, so I thought that this would be a great time to give some insight into other products you can save on - and save big.
The truth is that there are a lot of coupons out there for junk food. But even if you never purchase one food item, you can still use coupons to save in huge ways! So many people think food when they think coupons, but they forget to consider the amount of savings to be had on all the other things we purchase on a regular basis.
We all brush our teeth, shower, wash our hair, clean the house, wash our clothes and dishes and some of us even have family members of the four-legged variety. Below is a list of things I've bought with coupons and what general price I paid for them. Just think how often you use these things and how quickly the cost adds up when you're paying full price!
  • Toothpaste - FREE
  • Toothbrushes - FREE
  • Body wash - FREE
  • Shampoo - FREE
  • Razors - FREE or close to
  • Shave gel - very inexpensive (I stocked up at $0.09 ea)
  • Kids' soap - FREE
  • Kids' shampoo - very inexpensive
  • Dishtabs - FREE - $0.50
  • Laundry detergent - greatly reduced
  • Dryer sheets /fabric sofener - FREE or close to
  • Disposable plates /bowls - FREE - $0.50
  • Napkins /paper towels - $0.50
  • Facial tissues - $0.50
  • Cleaning products - greatly reduced (I stocked up when I could get Lysol toilet cleaner for $0.04, and all other Lysol for $0.49 or less.)
I have even scored free toilet paper, cosmetics, candles, air fresheners, dog treats, dog food and so much more - all with coupons!
As you can see, these things above can really add up at the store, but if you shop at the right times and match those sales with the right coupons, you can really get some great savings on products you use. And when you can get these items at rock-bottom prices, that's the time to stock up! 
The best part is that cincysavers.com makes it so you don't have to do any of the legwork - just stop by our stores page, click on a store and check out the matchups. You'll find out when the sales are hot and how you can get the coupons that will help you save big on things you can really use.
