Are you utilizing the sneak peeks we post on Frugal Fairhope?  Yes, it is nice to know not to buy something when it will be going on sale next week. Waiting that one more week could mean saving a lot of money. We think the most important and useful tool of sneak peeks is the ability to find coupons before the sale. With just a couple days sneak peek you could find coupons and have them shipped to you. We have talked about some of the coupon clippers on the right side bar but don’t forget about eBay!

For example are you looking for the coupons for the Cascadian Farms Granola bars? You could find a coupon or two here but that may not satisfy you or your stockpile. You can find them super cheap on eBay; click the link below to follow our examples.

Cascadian Farm Coupons

Sounds crazy, buy a white envelope with coupons??? In our humble opinion it beats paying $2 for a Sunday paper (in our area) and you get exactly what you need; not a lot of coupons you won’t use.

Check it out the auction for 12 -$.75 granola bars for only $.99!

Our choice would be the 15 – $.75 coupons for $3.89 (Buy It Now). You are getting $14.25 in value for only $3.89, that is $.26 a coupon gaining $.50 for each coupon. We know from the Frugal Fairhope Sneak Peek that Publix will have the Cascadian Farms Bars on sale B1G1 for around $4 (Fairhope Publix, $3.99 in Florida). So let’s break this deal down using the eBay coupons:

15 Cascadian Farm Bars B1G1 $4 = $30
-Use 15 $.75 coupons = $11.25
-Use $5 off $25 Rite Aid
Coupon cost $3.89+ $.99 shipping
Final Price: $1.24 each

As you can see you can get a fantastic deal on the granola bars by using the coupons you found on eBay.

We know what you are probably thinking, most coupons state “void if sold”. Why are there so many coupons out there “for sale” if they are void? You’re not, you are buying the white envelope and you are paying someone to clip, collect, and organize those coupons.

Think about this for a minute, if you purchase a Sunday newspaper are you not “buying” coupons?
