Using Coupons
Whether you hate them or love them, coupons are likely here to stay.
But really, what's not to like about coupons? After all, coupons are treated just like cash at your local retailer. If you saw a dollar on the ground, wouldn't you pick it up and eventually spend it? So why do so many people shun coupons? The short answer is that they don't want to take the time to find them, to clip them, and to incorporate them into their weekly shopping routine. But times have changed. In addition to the age-old custom of clipping coupons from the inserts in your local newspaper, you can now print coupons directly from the Internet. There are thousands of coupons available for printing at any one time. You can even download coupons into your smart phone! So there's really no excuse for not using them. The bottom line: If you are serious about saving money, coupons need to be a part of your shopping strategy. Tip: Printable coupons don't have to be printed in color to be valid.
