Couponing

For people who are living on a budget, sometimes using a coupon is a huge help on saving a few bucks here and there. I will not be giving tips on how to extreme coupon but more how to be coupon efficient. 

First is where to look for coupons:

  • Magazines
  • Newspapers
  • Online
  • In-Store
  • On Products
  • Manufacturer
The next thing to do is keeping the coupons organized. This should involve categorizing the coupons by type of product. Also have a container for the coupons. Do not leave them stuffed in a wallet or purse.

Also try to maximize your savings by not only using a manufacturer coupon but also a store coupon. This can equal double savings. Also enroll in a loyalty program. A loyalty program is where you scan your card at every purchase and gain rewards as you spend more throughout the store.

  1. Have you followed your own advice? What have you recently saved on? You introduce a topic here, but I would like to see some "meat" on the blog's bone...supporting details that really show application of the idea here.
