Coupons!!

Lets talk COUPONS!!

Savings!!

Yay!! :)

Ok, so I know some people are uncomfortable using coupons.  If you want to save money then that is something that you are going to have to get over.

Now first thing is to remember that just because there is a coupon for it doesn't mean you need to buy it.  If your not going to use it your still wasting money even if its just a few cents.  Those few cents here and there really add up.  Especially if you are on a limited budget.

I really try to match coupons that are available with sales that are going on.  You can really save a lot of money that way.

There are a few rules to follow when you use coupons.

1.    Make sure you know the stores coupon policy.  Some stores will accept other stores coupons, or will price match.  This can be really helpful for saving money and time.
2. If you have a lot of coupons and there are a lot of people lining up behind you, politley tell them that you have quite a few coupons and it may take you longer.
3. You can stack certain coupons.  Store coupons and manufacturer coupons can be used together because they are different types.
4. SIGN UP FOR TEXT COUPONS!!
5. Check store websites for coupons
6. SIGN UP COUPONS IN THE MAIL.  Stores will often send exclusive coupons to people who sign up for them.
7. SIGN UP FOR REWARDS CARDS.  You can save a lot of money with these and some store give exclusive points redeemable for free products.
8. Look for in store coupons on the products and the shelves.  Then make sure the checkers use them!

These are all strategies I use to help save money at the grocery store and other stores as well.  This saves me a TON of money.  Every little bit helps.

There are coupon apps you can use to if you have a smart phone.  The one I use most often is retailmenot.  It will tell you where the sales and coupons are at the stores nearest to you.

Ok, now go sign up for all these and have fun saving!!
