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

  1. Okay, a few questions... when does Kroger double coupons? How do I find out? Is it the same in all the stores or does it vary by area? Is there a limit on how many pkgs or coupons you can use in one transaction? Do you have a place that lists what coupons are available to know what to look for, or do you just check the papers?

  3. Weather permitting I will be there... and I'm not like the drivers around here, I know how to drive in the snow! ;) On the other hand, we had to have our Saturn towed home today (thank goodness for the AAA membership we just got!) we think maybe a tie rod end is busted or something, but too cold to go work on it right now!
