Ahh, the checkout lane. I don’t know about you but the checkout lane is always nerve wracking. What if a coupon beeps? What if the cashier misses a coupon? Follow these tips for an easy check out every time.

• Check expiration dates on all your coupons before you go
• Make sure that you follow all the requirements on the coupon
• If a coupon doesn’t work just leave the items at the counter. Don’t ever feel obligated to purchase something if the coupons don’t go through
• Before you go to the store make a list with all the items you are buying and note how many coupons you are using. When you hand over the coupons to the cashier, you’ll know how many coupons you are using so you can keep track. 
• If you group the same items together on the checkout counter, and place the coupons for those items next to them the cashier can easily make sure that the coupon and product correspond
