It is a simple question with a very simple answer, to save money!!!!! And honestly, who doesn't like to save money?
I have been a bargain shopper for years, I have very rarely ever payed retail for anything. I shop the thrift stores (I even owned one), discount stores, garage sales and any place where I can save a buck. I have two philosophies that I live buy. The first is NEVER pay retail for anything and the second is "A Penny Saved is a Penny earned". - Benjamin Franklin
When people see the amount of money that I save through various venues it always opens the door to many, many questions. So I thought that I would answer the question, "Why should I use coupons?", with some of the excuses that I have heard.
You can't save that much using coupons!
The reason people don't save that much money using coupons is because they put so many limits on themselves; loyalty to one store, loyalty to one brand, pride, time, the list goes on and on. I am sure that you could think of some yourself. With this site I will teach you step by step how to use those coupons to your advantage so that you can save a lot of money.
I don't have the time!
Personally I can't afford not make the time. Let's say that you work at a job making $15.00 per hour, by the time that they tax you, you are only making about $12.00 per hour. After work you go to the store and spend $20.00. You have now lost an hour and half of pay at the store.
Now, had you spent 15 minutes making a plan and gathering your coupons you would have saved about $10.00, keeping your hard earned money in your pocket, where it should be.
This site will help you to save time & money. I put together all of the best deals for you in a Shopping List format and have matched those deals with available coupons. All you have to do is print the Shopping List and gather your coupons.
Couponing can save you a lot of money with very little effort. All you need are the tools to know how to do it.
