Save Money with Coupons
I used to be considered the “Queen of Coupon Clipping”. I was saving so much money on food and household items. It was my part time job really. My local grocery store offered double coupons at the time which made it possible for me to get things for free with my coupons. I would get free food, free tooth brushes and toothpaste.
I also bought coupons on ebay so I would have 10-20 of the same coupon. This meant I was getting 10-20 free toothbrushes. The store would only allow me to use 3 coupons at a time so I would go in often. It was great but like I said before it was like a part time job. I had to look over the weekly and monthly sales booklet the stores offered and find out which sales went with which coupons. I didn’t have to do much coupon clipping because I bought many of my coupons on ebay already clipped.
It may be that over used my “coupon-savings power” because my store stopped offering double coupons. I was very irritated when this happend and almost stopped shopping there but then I realized that was silly. I was the one taking advantage of the system.
So my point here is that coupons can really save you money. If your store offeres double coupons and you are abe to really get incredible deals then USE THOSE COUPONS.
Here are some coupon usage tips from the “Queen”.
1. Don’t buy things you won’t eat or use even if it’s a killer deal.
2. Use your grocery story sales flyer or booklet and coupons to make your shopping list. You will save more money if you plan your meals around the sales.
3. Don’t buy too much junk food even if you are getting them almost free. You may end up with a pantry full of junk food but forget to get meals you can eat. I know this from experience. Plus junk food is bad for you.
4. Check out coupons on Ebay. You can find some great coupons that can save you tons of money. Just besure the expiration date is far enough in the future so that you have enough time to use 10-20 coupons. And don’t get bid happy and pay to much for the coupons either.
When I had my part-time coupon-savings job I would say I I was buying $30-$50 in groceries that should have cost over $100. At that time our family of four was living on about $200 a month in groceries. Coupons can save you lots of money if you have a plan.
