New to Coupons?

If you have heard of this crazy world of coupons, but have yet to dive in, I suggest making your grand 'cannon ball' splash of an entrance now! Bottom line: using coupons saves money. Maybe your grocery budget is fine and you don't need any tweaking  But, perhaps there is a vacation you want to save up for. Coupons may be your ticket to the beach! Hypothetically, if you saved $20 a week in coupons every week for 6 months starting today, you would have $480 sitting in a jar ready for summer play time. Sounds like a good pay off to me! Where to start? Contact your local grocer or go on their website to find out the store's coupon policy. For example: do they accept competitor coupons and do they double coupons? Next find a binder you can use to organize your coupons in and set up a coupon printing station at home where you can print, clip and organize. As for where to get coupons, there are endless sites online to research, but the ones I use and recommend are: swagbucks.com, redplum.com, target.com, commonkindness.com and mambosprouts.com. You can always visit individual company's websites and Facebook pages for additional coupons as well. You can make the experience as detailed and fun as you like. Personally, our family depends on the savings these paper clippings provide, and I happen to enjoy it which is an added bonus. What are you waiting for? Ready, set....COUPON!
