For savvy shoppers on OOTDBuy, coupon codes are the ultimate money-saving tool - but when combined with spreadsheet organization, they become a powerful strategic advantage. This guide will show you how to systemize your discount hunting for maximum savings.
The Coupon-Spreadsheet System
Create a dedicated spreadsheet with these essential columns:
- Coupon Code
- Discount Value
- Minimum Purchase
- Applicable Categories
- Expiration Date
- Times Used
- Total Saved
- Discount Value
Strategic Implementation
1. Stacking Analysis: Use conditional formatting to highlight coupons that can be combined with ongoing OOTDBuys sales
2. Purchase Timing: Sort by expiration date to prioritize soon-to-expire codes
3. Category Mapping: Color-code coupons by product type for quick scanning
Advanced Techniques
Implement these spreadsheet formulas for next-level savings:
=IF(AND([Purchase]>=MinPurchase, SEARCH("Electronics",Categories)), "APPLY CODE "+Coupon, "")=TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, FILTER(Coupons, Expirations>TODAY()))
This creates smart reminders for active coupons relevant to your items.
