Why I Started Using Coupons

I get asked all the time, how do you save so much money? My response it's easy, I use "coupons."

Imagine that you have just received a gift card for your favorite holiday and on it you have 100.00 to any store, in your mind, you have already picked out one or two things that you want to purchase at Store X, but Store Y is having a sale.

So you debate that if you go with Store Y you will save $12.00 which means that you have a little extra to spend somewhere else. (Did you know that you just virtually saved your $, now let's turn that virtual $ into real MONEY!)

Last year from Jan 1 to December 31, 2009 I saved over $1696.16 (coupons only) at my favorite grocery store, with the in-store specials I saved $3502.67, now you do the math. Again, this is just one store.

What would you do with all of that extra money? Now do you see why I am a firm believer in using coupons? I am a wife and mother of three growing children, it was nothing for me to spend $100-$115 a week for groceries before couponing. As of the present moment my grocery bill is less than $25 a week, that is with meats, detergents, cleaning supplies and snacks!!!

It's very simple and easy to do..........
