Don’t be ashamed to use Manufacturers And Store Coupons to save cash. Often times people are just too proud to use these big money savers. Think of your Sunday paper as a big bundle of free cash. |
It doesn’t matter if you spend $100 or $800 a month on groceries, you probably wish you could save more money on your food bill. Food coupons are a good way to cut down on costs. You may think it is not worth it to clip that “35 cents off” coupon, but coupon users save anywhere from 5 to 30 percent on their annual grocery bills by clipping coupons. If you use the product or eat the food, that “25 cents off” coupon is like having a quarter in your hand. That quarter could increase to 50 or 75 cents if your grocery store doubles coupons.
If you look hard enough you can find coupons on almost any product you use if you just know where to look. More than 80 percent of consumers will find grocery coupons in their Sunday newspaper. The newspaper often advertises that you can save a certain amount of money by buying the newspaper, but that is only if you use the coupons for the products included. Most consumers will only see a few grocery coupons for items they actually use.
The majority of grocery stores and pharmacies have in-store coupons with discounts on food, health and cleaning products. Often, a store’s competitor will honor the in-store coupon to keep you shopping at their store. Check with your store for its policy on competitor’s coupons.
Once you get the hang of using those coupons you will be pleasantly surprised at how much more cash will be left from you budget at the end of the month.
