Coupons. Many stores will mail coupons to your home. By looking at these coupons, and not simply throwing them out with the junk mail, you have access to sale information in addition to notices like store openings and closings. However, there are some things to watch out for when using coupons. The date the coupon becomes effective (and the expiration date), are often written in very small letters that are easy to miss if you aren't looking out for them. Some coupons also do not apply to certain products, for example some department store coupons will expressly say they are not applicable to shoes. You should make sure that the coupon can be used on the product you intend to buy, on the dates that you want it, to maximize your savings. Recently more and more coupons have become available online (on sites such as www.couponmountain.com), which can help you save money. Using internet resources (such as this article at http://ezinearticles.com/?Couponing-101:-Saving-Money-Clipping-Coupons&id=15248) can also help you learn how to save money by using coupons.

Be Flexible With Sizes. Many shoe stores have their clearance or sale sections organized by sizes. While you should look at your shoe size first, also look at shoes up to a size larger or smaller than your size. This can help you save money because many women can wear heels or dress shoes in a smaller size than their running shoes or boots. A pair of shoes that you really like may be available in a size a little bit smaller or larger than the one you normally wear, so looking at different sizes may expand the amount of choice you have.

Combine Offers. There are many ways to avoid paying a lot of money out-of-pocket for a pair of shoes. For example, if the store is having a storewide sale, and you also find a coupon for a specific pair of shoes, you could combine those two offers to increase your savings. Shopping online (at sites such as www.shoes.com) can also help you combine offers, as many sites have coupon codes that you can plug in at checkout to get a discount. By following these tips, you can save money, both in stores and online, as you shop for shoes.
