The Performance Marketing Association's Coupon Council notes that more than 86% of all people use at least one coupon per year in the United States. Because ecoupons are easy to access and print with a home printer, more than 367 billion printable coupons were distributed in 2009, according to PMA. For items like Betty Crocker brownies, using a paper or online coupon makes sense; convenience foods tend to have more circulated coupons and therefore, coupons for groceries lead to better savings.

Focus on Printable Coupons for Betty Crocker Brownies That Are Under $.99
How can $.50 equal a $1? Double and triple coupons are where "coupon math" comes in. If your store doubles coupons, a $.75 coupon is better than one that says $1. That $1.50 per box can lead to big discounts if the store puts the sweet treats on sale. Some stores even have loss leader sales as low as $1 per box. In this case, you either get the item free or receive "overage" on your bill. Overage means that the $1.50 is applied to the $1 sale price, and the extra $.50 is taken off the rest of your grocery bill.
Tip: never buy only the item on sale if overage may be involved. Most grocery stores won't give you the overage if there's nothing to apply it to, and they won't give you the cash difference! Use overage to buy staples like milk, bananas, meats, and other items that rarely have coupons.
Online coupon zealots focus on finding coupons from $.50 to $.99 to maximize savings and get possible overage. Don't ignore anything below $.50 and above $.99, though. For maximum value, if you're only buying two Betty Crocker brownies, a $.60 coupon is better than a $1 choice.
Use Facebook to Find Printable Coupons
Social media has entered couponing! Manufacturers like Betty Crocker encourage folks to "Like" their Facebook page. Couponers can find rewards, like special Internet coupons on Facebook or links to an online coupon for products like Betty Crocker brownies.

The key to getting the most for your money is to use many angles to print coupons for groceries. Try these strategies and explore every free source of information to combine sales and coupons.
