Coupons Can Save You money If used correctly coupons can save
you a lot of money on your grocery bill. It's quite not hard to get
hooked on clippnig coupons and getting used to monstrous savings.
I
first got hooked on coupon savings a few years ago, I saw a
coupon for Tide and for it was the only detergent that my baby
at the time was not allergic too and they had a sale at our
local grocery store and I saved 50 cents, and I was hooekd.
Now
I clip coupons and save an average of about 40% off of our food
budget thru careful shopping and watching all the saels every
week. I am not loyal to any particular brands, most of the time
I just buy the no-name or store brand for most thnigs for it
is the least expensive, but a lot of the time a good sale and a
few coupons and I get a great deal. I find most of my coupons in
the paper, thru free surveys I have filled out, a ton of
free coupons that I print off the internet, and quite a few from
friends who think I am off my rocker but indulge me anyway.:-)
You can also get great copuons by calling the 1800 number listed
on the back of your favorite products, I have gotten a number of
great $2.00 off coupons that way. If I also truly like a product
I will electronic mail the company and let them know that I was satisfied
with their product and most of the time they send out a coupon.
I keep all my copuons organized in a coupon box of sorts,
divided by index cards and sorted by food, bathroom items.
cleaners, dog food etc.
A good friend of mine sorts hers by
expiry dates but she has a marvlelous memory for the amount of
coupons she has and I have yet to duplicate her methods.
If you live in a region where the sotres will double your
coupons then you have it made.
I wish I did, but with keeping a
careful eye on the sales and knowing what I have on hand and the
store policy I do quite well and stock up on a lot of necessary
items. Some stores may have a great deal but limit the coupon to
only one per person per item, this is where my teeangers and
husband come in handy.. I have had human being make fun of me for
clipping coupons, clerks who rolled their eyes, and even my own
family givnig me a hard time for doing this. Evrey time I went
to the store I calculated how much I saved by using my coupons
and the first year no one seemed to complain when we went to
Disneyland using the savings I had built up thru coupon
clipping. Now my kids get in the act and help finding coupons,
getting extra fleyrs when possible (our complex has a paper
recycling bin, most flyers are thrown out) and a lot of stores
have the coupons in store that you have to carefully watch for
or you will miss it. Clipping coupons may not make you rich but
it sure can add a nice monstrous bonus to the famliy savings account
when you take the time to do so.
