First off....I hardly ever use coupons. I realize that I should do it more. I go through the Sunday ads and frankly can never find anything that I use. I am brand loyal. That said I am intrigued by these shows that have mostly women on them that take couponing to a sport and end up buying $400 in groceries for $5.00. How fun is that??
Today I tried.. I went through the ads and came up with 4 that I would use. Most of them were to buy 2 of something-- I don't want 2 of something... I think that is wasteful for something that I would buy on a splurge anyways.
Then I found out that the grocery store does not even do double coupons! How is that possible?. I thought most stores did Double Coupons... Oh well- I ended up only using 1 coupon. (and saved $1.60).
So, I will try to do better and go through the ads this week too and see what I can come up with. I don't grocery shop weekly -and I do shop the sales-but I do have a coupon keeper ( that I make and sell on etsy), I will try to play the game and see what I can save.. why not? I don't think I would ever be one of those who spends hours with coupons, I can take 15 minutes and see what I can do. It might be fun.....
What about you... Do You clip coupons? What is your advice for a beginner like me??
Thanks!
