 To get better deals, use the coupons from your Sunday paper and match them up with sales going on in your stores! This list is meant for new couponers who don’t have a big stockpile of coupons saved up. (Start saving up all of the coupons from your Sunday paper! When you have more saved up, the more likely you will have a coupon that matches up with a sale in your store).

Here are a few good deals in Iowa stores, they may be different in yours. These coupon matchups are only from the last two Sunday’s of coupon inserts, making it easy for those of you who are just starting to use coupons! Once you get the hang of it and save up coupons, you could be getting items for under $1 and even free! Feel free to leave any comments on your shopping trips using these coupons+sales or leave one I missed.
