Save Money With Dog Food Coupons

Dog owners lover their pets. There is an old saying that people are either dog people or cat people. I believe that this holds true, I also believe that the bond between a dog and his or her owner is is very strong. In fact to many people their dogs are just like children and just like children, you want to properly take care of them. This means taking them to the vet, regular exercise, toys and a healthy diet. In this article we will be going over just how you can save money on you dogs food and supplies, manly with dog food coupons. How to combine supermarket sales with manufacturer coupons so that you can save the most money. How you can organize your coupons so that you never miss out on a great deal and where you can find these money saving discounts on dog food.

Lets talk about dog food. There are several different brands of dog food. There are specialty dog food brands, such as, Eukanuba dog food or Science Diet dog food. These brands are all natural and made especially to keep your dog healthy. They are, however, a bit more expensive then more common brands, like, Purina dog food, Pedigree dog food or Iams dog food. It doesn't matter which brand of dog food you use, at the end of the month it can become quite costly, especially for those of you out there with more then one dog. In fact many times you will spend more money feeding your pet then you do feeding yourself. Not matter what kind of dog food you choose to feed your pet, I assure you, that you can find coupons for them so that you can lower their cost. The only exception to that rules would be store brand dog food. I would highly recommend that you steer clear of store brand pet food as it is usually poor quality and I'm sure you will find that by using dog food coupons you really won't be spending that much on name brand pet food. By the way, for those with both dogs and cats, everything that I write about in this article can easily be applied to cat food as well.

In order to properly show you just how much money you can really save with dog food coupons, I will first explain just how they can save you money. A coupon is a voucher that can be used to discount certain products, these vouchers are usually put out by the manufacturer of that particular product, in this case that product is dog food. Why exactly do dog food companies put out coupons? Won't they be loosing money? I'm going to be honest and say that I am not sure exactly why dog food manufacturers put out coupons. I can only assume that it is to promote their products and boost sales. No matter what the reason, you can be sure that you will never have trouble finding a dog food coupon whether it be for Purina dog food or Pedigree puppy chow puppy food, as long as you know where to look. That is the point, you should be able to constantly lower the cost of the dog food that you buy by constantly getting your hands on dog food coupons.

Later on in this article I will go over several different ways that you can get yourself some good, money saving dog food coupons but before I do I want to tell you about a little trick that will help you maximize the total money that you can save on your pet food. Along with gathering up coupons, you should also try to keep track of what sales your local supermarkets are having any given week ( these sales should change either weekly or biweekly ). By keeping careful tabs on when a certain brand of dog food goes on sale you can then purchase it at the sale price while also using your coupon. This makes for an even bigger savings on your pet supplies. It is astonishing how much money you can save with very minimal work. All that you need to do is gather a few dog food coupons and check out local sales. This could add up to a really noticeable savings every month. Another great tip on saving the most money each and every month is to stock up when your brand of dog food is on sale. There isn't necessarily a set schedule for supermarket sales. This means that you may not know when your brand of dog food will go on sale again. You wouldn't want to have to spend full price when all you really need to do is stock up and make sure to keep your dog food coupon supply nice and full.

How much can you really save each month? Is it really worth your time? Gathering dog food coupons and keeping track of supermarket sales really isn't that much work and I will prove to you that you really can save a significant amount of money by giving you an example of how much money I saved last month on my pet's dog food. Lets start with a little background, I have two three year old female Golden Retrievers. Last week the particular brand of pet food was on sale for $9.99, a savings of four dollars. My dogs usually go through a back of that particular dog food in a little less than a week. I purchased Four bags which saved me $16 right off the bat. I also used four manufacturer coupons for $2 off that brand and type of pet food and that was an additional $8 in savings for a grand total of $24 on a $39.96 purchase. So basically, I saved 60% on my pet food for that month. This wasn't a freak occurrence, that just so happened to be a very good month for saving money on dog food but I am constantly saving between 20% and 60% on all of my dog food each and every month with almost no work what so ever. I simply keep an eye out for dog food coupons and track the local supermarket sales.

When collecting dog food coupons it is best to be organized. All coupons have an expiration code on them. This means that at some point that coupon will no longer valid. Of course you want to use the coupons that are expiring sooner rather then the ones with a longer expiration. By keeping your dog food coupons in proper order you can make sure that you never let any of them go to waste. If you use multiple brands of dog food, you need to be even more organized. On any given week there could be one of the brands that you feed your dog or dogs on sale at any given supermarket. If you stay organized you will be sure to save the most money on all the dog food you buy. Remember, never though away any dog food coupon you come across, you never know when they might come in handy.

So you are totally ready to save a small fortune on your pet food and supplies but aren't sure how to go about hunting down dog food coupons. One of the easiest ways to get your hands on some really great dog food coupons is in your local Saturday or Sunday newspaper. Many newspapers provide weekly coupon circulars which are full of money saving coupons and usually in the mix are dog food coupons. So if you aren't already getting it, sign up to receive the Sunday paper. Each week when you newspaper comes, go through the coupons and save the ones that you can use.

Another great place to find dog food coupons in on the manufacturer's website. Many pet food companies will promote their new and old products with free printable dog food coupons that you can print out right from their site. A printable coupon is a legitimate manufacturer coupon that you print out right from your computer. These coupons are accepted at most supermarkets and often provide a bigger savings then regular coupons. I personally have all the major pet food manufacturer's websites bookmarked and check them on a weekly basis. You will be amazed at how often these types of coupons are offered.

The last place to find dog food coupons that I am going to go over in this article is Ebay. Yes, you can find a ton of great dog food coupons right on Ebay. You may be a little weary of spending money on coupons and if you are then by all means don't do it but I am fairly sure that after you have been doing this for a while, you will find that the small amount of money that you spend on Ebay will add up to huge savings on your monthly dog food expenses.

So if you are looking to save a large chunk of money on your pet food, start collecting dog food coupons and never pay full price for dog food ever again.
