Coupon Queen: Rebranding the stockpile
‘Stockpiling” is the term couponers have long used for shopping ahead of sales cycles, then storing groceries and supplies until the next sale. It’s a great strategy for shelf-stable, nonperishable or freezer-stable items because prices fluctuate.

COUPON QUEEN: As seen on TV
Q: Your column is the first thing I read in the morning. I love couponing, and your answers are so informative. I have a question for you about the ads on TV that sell an item for $20. I can buy it locally for that price, too, but if I “order now,” they will send a second one for free, and if I “call now,” shipping is free. So, what’s the catch? Are they selling my name or what? – Gerane S.

Coupon Queen: Shoppers’ attitudes toward coupons have shifted

COUPON QUEEN: Getting credit for all of your coupons
Q: I would like some advice on redeeming coupons. No matter what store I go to, if I redeem more than a few coupons, the cashier doesn’t give me credit for all of them. It has happened so often that now I count them when I hand them to the cashier and count the beeps as they scan each coupon. This isn’t foolproof, though.

Coupon Queen: Come shopping with the Coupon Queen to see how she saves
Q: In one of your recent columns, you featured a letter from a reader who stated that she spent $45.81 and saved $47.36 with coupons. I have read numerous articles over the years where people say they get their order for free or for a very low cost. These articles never show what was bought and the coupons used. I have always said this is smoke and mirrors as there is no detail. – Joe B.

Coupon Queen: After a coupon is used, what happens next?
Q: You recently wrote about stores getting reimbursed by the manufacturer. As a long-time couponer, it’s interesting to learn about couponing from the store and manufacturer’s ends.
