Yep, it’s worked every time I’ve tried it. But I agree; it is a bit of a headache-inducing strategy.

If anyone gives it a go, I’ve found that gum, candy and shampoo/conditioner are the products that regularly generate buy one get one free coupons and buy one get one free sales at the store. Oh, and be ready for confused look from the store clerk. Just proof you’re working your frugal skills :)
