I’ve talked at great length before about where to find coupons and what it boils down to is: keep your eyes open. You can almost always find extra inserts laying around at coffee shops on Sunday mornings, ask people you know to save them up for you….I’m sure you have many other ideas…it just takes a little creativity.

There are other types of coupons besides those that are printed and those you find in your Sunday paper. You can print coupons, you can find “peelies” on products in the grocery store, you can sign up for freebies and samples that usually come packaged with high dollar coupons and you can sign up for product newsletters, etc and find yourself some coupons that way.

One less explored way to come up with high dollar coupons is to watch closely for SMPs (Specially Marked Packages). Often these SMPs will be chalk full of high dollar coupons for you to use on other items produced by the manufacturer.

Such is the case right now with Proctor & Gamble. There are several Specially Marked Packages that wield additional valuable coupons. For instance:

SMP of Pampers Baby Dry will include $30 of coupons off of other Proctor & Gamble products including:

Align $5

Always $1

Bounce $2

Cascade $1

Charmin $1

Crest Whitestrips $7

Dawn $1

Downy $1

Dreft $1

Duracell $1

Febreze $1

Febreze $4

Gillette $2

Gillette $4.29

Old Spice Mega $1 & $4.29 & $3.99

Pampers $2

Pantene $1

Pepto $1

Pringles $1

Secret $1

Tide $1

Venus $2

Vicks $2

There are other products with SMPs right now including Charmin, PUR and Olay. You can visit the Proctor & Gamble website to see a full description of participating products and available coupons by clicking here.

I just found out about this and haven’t ventured out to see if there are any of these SMPs in our local stores… have you seen them? Be sure to leave a comment and let us know.

When you are rounding up coupons it is often as much what you see as where you know to look!
