Tough Luck Mainers......

Recently I had been noticing many of the rebates, Coupon offers, Try me free forms etc. were not Vaild in Maine.. so I decided to investigate

The lovely reps up in Maine have decided to pass a law that forbids companies from requesting personal information for maketing and data collection.. the law is LD 1183 if you want to read it up.

Due to this law most and soon to be all manufacturers will be excluding the residents of Maine from these types of offer programs..

Cannot use LCM or Competitor Coupons in conjunction with the $4 Generic Program.

General Coupon Policy:

PAH: (Print At Home)

Internet Coupon Policy ALL Banner Stores!!

We only accept printable coupons if they scan properly at checkout.

We do not accept “FREE product” printable coupons, with no purchase requirement. Buy-one-get-one-free coupons and other values that have a purchase requirement are acceptable but will be MUCH less common than traditional value-off coupons.

We do not accept coupons for more than about 75% of a product’s value without advance notice. Legitimate PAH coupons will not be for a high value relative to the cost of the item. For example, a $2 off coupon will be acceptable for a product that normally sells for $5 or more, but a $2 off printable coupon for a product that sells for $2.25 is unlikely to be legitimate.

Coupons will be rejected if they appear out of proportion or blurry, or are obvious duplicates. Legitimate PAH coupons are never copied, sold or traded. Nearly all coupons are “non-transferable” meaning they should not be photocopied or scanned and distributed to others.

Coupons will be rejected if they appear to have been altered in any way.

PAH coupons can be checked for validity at http://www.printcoupons.com.

You can buy coupons on EBAY?!?!

yes you can.. and there are several other coupon sites you can get them from as well.. So how is it done?

Here is what I am doing today. Kroger has Yakisoba noodles for $1.09. they also double .50 coupons.. There are Save .50 off one Yakisoba noodles.. so at Kroger its like using a $1 coupon.. getting the item for .09. I want more than just the one I get in the paper ( or in my case this week 5) so I need to order them

If you go on Ebay you can look under food coupons for the items you want. So I type in Yakisoba. it pulls up a ton of listings.. most of them are about $3 with shipping for 20 coupons.. I prefer the buy it now, esp if I am trying to hit a sale. I then look to see where they are coming from.. the closer the better.. and of course the sellers rating. I then choose my product, and for today I am looking to buy 40 or 60 so I look to see if they have them in lots.. meaning several sets of 20.

If I pay $2.75 per pack of coupons (with shipping) I get 40 coupons for $5.50 plus the .09 each I pay for the product $3.60 = $9.10 for 40 packages of noodles = .23 each making a savings of .86 each or $34.40 total
