7. Found out the hard way that not all stores take print out coupons!

It's better to call ahead and find out that way then to be at the check-out with a overflowing shopping cart and a binder full of applicable print out coupons they did not accept.

One shouldn't be afraid to buy in quantity for non-perishable items, those with a long shelf life and frozen items. My ex and I still have a few bottles left of All laundry detergent we bought many months ago. The local store chain was having a clearance sale on that item and my ex got a bunch of coupons off of e-bay for All detergent. As the coupons were good only up to a quantity of 10 and we had 30 such coupons, I broke up that purchase in three separate shopping trips. Yes, it cost us some money up front to do this but the coupons combined with the clearance sale price, we saved a bunch in the long run.
