How I Use Mr. Bubble Coupons to Get Free Christmas Gifts
Have you ever thought of using coupons while doing your Christmas gift shopping?
I love to save while doing my Christmas shopping!
Mr. Bubble
Do you have specific Christmas gifts that you give every single year?
Mr. Bubble is always on my list.
Every fall, I email The Village Company and ask them to send me coupons for their products.
In case you didn’t know, Mr. Bubble is a product of The Village Company.
Every single year, they happily mail out Mr. Bubble manufacturer coupons directly to my home.
Last year, the Village Company sent me four manufacturer coupons.
Two of these coupons were for $1.00 off any Village Company product.
The other two coupons were each for a totally free item, up to $10.00 off!
Jugs of Mr. Bubble
I couldn’t wait to head over to my local Walmart to see what kind of deals I could score with my Mr. Bubble coupons.
I found a big jug of Mr. Bubble marked at $3.72.
My Mr. Bubble manufacturer coupon made this free.
Foam Soap
I divided this double pack up into two separate gifts.
Walmart had these double packs marked at $4.98.
I used my manufacturer coupon and got it for free.
Mr. Bubbles Color Tablets
Next, I grabbed two packs of the Mr. Bubbles Fizzy Tub Colors.
Each pack came with six color tablets.
I used a one dollar off manufacturer coupon on each packet.
I was paid two cents apiece to take them!
The Walmart Coupon Policy and Coupon Overage
I love that the Walmart coupon policy states that the store will pay overage!
Overage is a couponer’s favorite word.
It means if an item costs less than the amount of the coupon, then the customer is paid the difference.
That means since a packet of Mr. Bubbles color tablets cost $0.98, but the manufacturer coupon was for $1.00 off, they paid me $0.02.
You may be wondering why I didn’t get overage on the free item coupons that were good up to $10.00 off.
The answer is in the words up to $10.00 off.
When a coupon says, up to a certain amount, it will actually take off the price of the product – up to that amount.
If my coupons would have just read, $10.00 off any Village Company product, then I would have been paid the difference.
Not a lot of stores will pay overage.
The ones that do tend to just apply the overage amount to the rest of your order.
Walmart is different in the fact that they will pay you the cash if you don’t have anything else you are buying at that moment.
This is a big win for couponers!
Make sure you understand each stores’ coupon policy.
