Using Coupons

Using coupons is a shopping trend that is becoming increasingly popular these days. People are learning to be more frugal and are using coupons to help them save quite a bit of money. With the economy down many people are struggling financially and using coupons is a great way to keep expenses down and still be able to afford to buy groceries and other items. Here are a few tips when it comes to using coupons.

-Tip #1: Clip coupons from the newspaper, especially at the beginning on the month. There is a great deal more coupons at the beginning of the month in newspapers and at online coupon sites. This is due to companies targeting sales right around the time people get their paychecks and are more likely to do more shopping. Put out the newspapers early in the month and find lots of great deals.

-Tip #2: Get a coupon loaded loyalty card from the stores you shop at. ShopRite, Safeway and Kroger all have these programs set up, as well as other stores. You can load up coupons onto your card digitally and when you go through the check-out line the cashier swipes your card and the eligible coupons are automatically redeemed. This definitely saves on the hassle of carrying lots of coupons around with you.

-Tip #3: Do not get scammed. With the increased popularity of coupons there is also an increase of fakes. If you are printing coupons online, make sure you use reputable sources such as RedPlum and SmartSource.com. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You really have to be careful when looking for deals on the internet.

-Tip #4: You can call a manufacturers' 800 numbers (often found on the packages of your favorite products) to request coupons. Over 1/3 of manufactures do not send out coupons unless requested. So if there is something you want coupons for be bold and ask for them.

Start using coupons and you will begin to see the savings add up. It will take some time and organization, but soon you will get the hang of it and become a pro at using coupons whenever you shop. Who doesn't want to save money? The opportunity is there, you just have to take it. So, the question I have for you is "What will you do differently to guarantee your success in this?"
