Coupon Savings -- Saving You Money
We subscribe to just the weekend newspaper, because that's normally when all the manufacture savings come out and it is also cheaper than subscribing to the daily paper and cheaper than buying the weekend paper each weekend. Our local newspaper offers just weekend subscriptions for $20 a year, which includes Saturday, Sunday & Monday delivery. Which if purchased at a news stand would cost us $2.50 a week or $130 a year... WOW... What a great savings. By just subscribing to the weekends, we saved $110 a year. Now where could we put that
money we saved? I know we save at least $20 a month by using the clipped coupons, and just buying what we need. I don't clip or use a coupon for items I don't normally use. Let's calculate that saving out. At approximately $20 a month in coupons used, I just saved another $240 a year.... I also watch for the store ads/flyers (in the weekend newspaper), who advertise an item as free after a mail-in rebate. I use a coupon also with this offer & save even more. There are online coupon sites you can go to also to find coupons you may use. Make sure that when you print the coupons out that the UPC bar prints out correctly, otherwise your grocery or other store may not except it. Magazines are also a good source of coupons, although few, they normally are for more than a $1 off an item. So if it's a magazine I like to read anyway, it's a bonus. A final note about manufacturers coupons...Always remember to read the terms/details carefully, like;
Sometimes you may have to make separate purchases if you have more than one of the same coupon that you want to use. I had 3 coupons for $1.50 off of an item that was $1.69 regularly. I couldn't buy 3 of the items & use my 3 coupons in the same purchase. So I had the sales person make it 3 separate purchases. And remember you still have to pay tax on the original price of the item, if it's a taxable item. So lets get clipping...use those coupon savings to save money...& have fun....
