Heads Up, Couponers! Dollar Tree Accepting Coupons!

This is big news for couponers everywhere, so big I wondered why it wasn't on the front page of the newspaper. As of Sunday, August 26th, Dollar Tree stores nationwide will begin accepting manufacturer's coupons. I cannot tell you how many times I would visit a Dollar Tree store with my husband, where everything is actually ONE DOLLAR, mind you, and lament the fact that they didn't accept coupons. Free toothpaste, free make-up, free deodorant...If only.  And now a casual comment on the Dollar Tree Facebook page netted the admission that yes, they will begin accepting manufacturer's coupons on August 26th. Here is their official coupon policy (scroll down to the bottom of the page)  Dollar Tree Coupon Policy
Dollar Tree did not officially announce this with a press release but word spread fast among coupon bloggers and there were many questions posted on the Facebook page that leads me to believe it might be a bit of a mess at Dollar Tree stores until all the cashiers and managers are trained in coupon acceptance. If I lived near a Dollar Tree I might rush out the door Sunday morning just to "test the waters," but I, for one, am thrilled at this new coupon policy that will mean many items will be free with the use of coupons.

They're Everywhere! They're Everywhere!

"You can find coupons everywhere," I tell attendees at my workshops. "In the newspaper, in magazines, on the Internet, on pads on the grocery store shelf, hanging on bottles (hangtags), and even on the package. (peelies)  What I've never told them, what I've never seen before in 30+ years of couponing was a coupon on my roll of toilet paper. Not on the package, mind you, and not in the package, but literally attached to the toilet paper roll!

That's a first for me.
Apparently I will have to change my workshop presentation a bit and add, "You can even find them on your toilet paper!"
It was a good one, too.

Where was the most unusual place you ever found a coupon?
