Coupons Are Money in the Bank
The first step is to get the local Sunday paper every week. The amount of money you save with coupons will more than make up for the cost of the paper. Be sure to pull out all the coupon inserts that are tucked into the paper and take a few moments to clip all the coupons for products that you buy regularly.
The second step is to take advantage of printable coupons that are available online. Printable coupons are great because they generally allow you to print several copies of the coupons you want.
Some of the places where you can find printable coupons online include:
All of these sites will require you to install a small coupon printing program but it is safe to use, takes up very little space on your computer and saves you a considerable amount of money.
Another great place to find online coupons is grocery store websites. Find the sites for the grocery stores near you and see what they have to offer for printable coupons.
A word of caution about printable coupons: Do not counterfeit them. That means making photocopies, scanning and reprinting or buying them on Ebay as PDF files. It may not seem like a big deal, but counterfeiting is done, it is a crime and people do go to jail for doing it.
The third step is to comparison shop your local grocery stores. If the sales flyers for your local grocery stores are not delivered to your mailbox every week, go to their websites. Most major grocery stores like Albertson's, King Soopers, Winn-Dixie and others have online versions of their weekly grocery ads. Take a few moments to compare sales flyers and see who is offering the best prices on the products you need to buy.
Lastly, take some time to clean out your cupboards and make room for stockpiling. If you use one box of macaroni and cheese a week, don't buy a single box weekly at whatever the market price may be. Buy twelve boxes every three months when it is available at 50 cents per box. This is stockpiling. When a product you use regularly goes on sale, buy it in bulk and store it for your future needs.
These are some great ways that anyone can save a bundle of money by using readily available coupons. When you look at coupons, don't see a hassle or something that you won't use because your pride won't allow you to. Look at those coupons and see money in the bank. I know I do!

Post a CommentGreat tips Lisa! My local Shop Rite doesn't accept internet coupons...but their prices are extremely low.
I was heavily into couponing before my daughter was born but now with a 2.5y/o, it's not so easy. But this is a great article!
