Clearance Racks and Coupons

Many grocery stores have a rack or small area dedicated to clearance items. Most of the time there is nothing we want. Ok, only twice but it does provide entertainment. If you do find something, don't forget to check your coupons. I haven't found in any store coupon policies that say you can't use coupons on clearance items.

We found two 12 ounce bags of Starbucks coffee that were on clearance and we had one coupon. There was also a catalina deal for Starbucks coffee where if you bought two you got a coupon for $2 off a future order. We didn't know if it would print because they were clearance items but we decided to try it. The catalina printed. The coffee ended up being about $1.75 a bag. In the same shopping trip, I had a found my favorite brand of facial cleanser on the clearance rack. At 50% off it was already an amazing deal. I got it for free using my coupon and a store doubler. The point of the story is to keep an eye on the clearance rack and your coupon book.
