When talking about the “new” version of couponing, matchups are the main reason for the change. No longer having to pilfer through your coupon stash and find coupons for the items you are buying- there are frugal sites that do the work for you! By using coupons on top of sales items you are maximizing your savings and using matchup sites where 80% of the work is done for you making this super easy.
Definition: A “matchup” is an online tool for any coupon user to save the most money at their favorite stores. A matchup includes store sales to use with coupons you have saved. This way you can get the most out of your coupons. A matchup will list the item on sale and any coupons that have not expired that can be used with that item. The matchup will list where and when you would have gotten this coupon and when it expires. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. You should familiarize yourself with our lingo section to help you get through this process a lot more smoothly.
An Example of a Matchup:
Huggies Diapers $8.99
- $2/1 5/02 SmartSource
= $6.99
Line 1: What is on sale & the price
Line 2: The coupon amount, the date the paper came out, which insert in that week’s paper
Line 3: The final price
Where do I find matchups? Should I only use one source?
•You can find matchups on any of your favorite couponing websites/blogs like Coupons From Heaven. Usually look for a tab listing store names or something in the sidebar listing store names.
•I suggest using MANY different couponing website/blogs for matchups. You never know when one site has a deal that you like and another site has another one not listed on the first. To keep all of your deals together, open a word document and copy and paste the deals you like from each matchup. That way after you are done reading all of your favorite coupon blogs you can go back and look at the document to see your compiled shopping list with the coupons listed that you need to use!
