Question What to do with the frees???

As a relatively new couponer - my urge is to go out and use it immediately. However someone suggested on another board that they wait until there is a BOGO sale so instead of one free you would get 2 free.
What do you guys do?

If the expiration isn't too soon, then I'd hold onto it and wait for a BOGO or extra bucks offer (CVS) to use it. However, if I have one that expires in less than a month, I've found I need to use it or I'll forget about it until it's too late.

Thanks everyone! I have a couple (newly acquired from e-mailing companies - THANK YOU AFC!!!) That I'll try to hold onto for a BOGO and see how long I can go before the smoke of temptation starts burning a hole in my binder!!

I've been holding on to them. When I first started writing companies, I got a ton of frees and went out and used them right away. I could have made them go really far by waiting for ecb and rr deals.
