Money Saving Tip #32: Use of Coupons: Use a Coupon to Buy the Smallest Size

Some coupons you clip will specify the minimum size or quantity that you must purchase to use the coupon.  Using a $0.35 off coupon on 150 oz. bottle of laundry detergent isn't really a great deal.  However, if the coupon doesn't specify the minimum amount, buy the smallest amount possible.  You may find that you pay a minimal amount for the product. 

Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion frequently do not specify the minimum amount (except trial sizes). 

You will get the most out of your coupon by having lots of smaller products than one big product.
