COUPONS
Coupons
really can save you a lot of money. I
have heard comments that coupons are more of a pain in the butt then what they
are worth. Honestly, I spend less than
two hours a month on my coupons. I feel
that any dollar I save is better in my pocket than in the retailer’s. I used to save roughly an average of $200 a
month with coupons. Now that I have a massive stock pile I am saving about $100
a month in coupons. What would you do
with an extra $100?
When I get
home, I take note of how much money I saved using coupons. When we were paying off the mortgage that
amount was flipped onto the mortgage as an extra payment daily. Now that our
mortgage is paid off this money is saved to a vacation fund. Do this daily, it will become automatic in your
habits. This is how you will see the results quickly.
When I go to
the grocery store, I walk up and down every aisle to hunt for coupons. I don’t
know about you, but I end up needing something in almost every aisle of the
grocery store so I don’t count aisle walking as extra work. I do however
pretend that it is exercise and counts towards my cardio.
I find
coupons all the time in front of products right there on the shelf! This is the easiest way to start your coupon
hunt. Often at times the coupon holder
looks similar to the product and could be missed and presented to the consumer
as another subliminal advertisement.
Look closely.
Proper
coupon etiquette is to take the amount of coupons that you will need. If you take 15 and will use them for your
family or stockpile go for it. Just be
respectful, and remember to be a Coupon Fairy with the coupons that you will
not be using.
I am going
to list a few of my favorite coupon sites for you to get started.
I suggest
you create an email account just for coupons.
I suggest creating an email account with your name, and the word
coupons. Then only coupons come to your email account are coupon related. Take
a piece of paper and track all your passwords, and mailing addresses. Add this
paper in a plastic sleeve to your Home Binder.
I have accounts registered for my father's house and my mother's to
receive more coupons. This is my coupon
holder, it is from the Dollarama and is really a business card holder. It holds
coupons perfectly. One half is for food, the other half is for everything else.
Now that you
have an email address just for coupons and a Face Book alias, here is a
starting point for coupons. Some of these lists will do a mail out to you and
others you will need to print.
