A Coupon Fairy is a person who leaves coupons on products in the store for strangers to find and use. If you have awesome coupons that you won’t use, consider leaving them on the products for others at your local store.
If you are new to Couponing, you might want to take a moment to read more in my Getting Started Couponing series.
When my kids were babies, I remember really struggling with the cost of diapers & formula. My kids are long since out of diapers now (my oldest is in Jr High :) ), but I still try to grab coupons on these baby essentials to leave at Target. It feels great that something that takes so little effort could really help out a financially strapped new mom!
Another idea if you get high value baby or pet coupons (& you don’t have a baby or a pet): considering purchasing the item & donating it. There are many animal shelters & food shelves that would love these donations!
I have felt strange going up to people or giving people coupons in line. But of all people my hubby is the one who told me that I wouldn’t turn it down it’s like giving strangers cash. So before I set the coupon down I see if someones getting the item first. The last one was an elderly man trying to decide between honey bunches of oats or generic cereal. He kept picking up and putting down the hboa. I finally went up to him and gave him my $1 coupon. He instantly put back his generic cereal and was able to get the good cereal for .99 cents. Made me feel good that he got what he really wanted.
Your comment made me so happy I almost wanted to cry.
The Coupon Fairy visited me at the Canton, Ga Publix yesterday. $1.00 coupon for Hormel entree. The Italian roast beef is awesome. Thank you Coupon Fairy. : )
Absolutely love the Coupon Fairy :)
I have found coupons and LOVED it- especially on an item I didn’t already have coupons for. I also regularly set down diaper coupons and others I won’t use for people to find or… if someone is in line with an item and I have a coupon I will share. People especially love this with the $3/1 clothing item coupons that target does.
That’s awesome :)
