Discount coupons: do you find them useful?

August 10, 2011 8:35am CST
Newspapers and magazines sometimes display discount coupons in its pages. All you have to do is cut the coupon and present it to the store when you go there to make a purchase. Medicines, groceries, clothes, toys, and even appliances advertise discount coupons for customers to buy their products. Have you ever tried using discount coupons? Do you find them useful? Are you satisfied with what you bought?

My husband and I are very Big in using discount coupons for stores and such. If there is something that we are really wanting to buy this is a Big plus. We have actually used ones for Restaurants, etc. as well. Not everything you will see out there is a Bargain but if you continue to watch the sales, etc. you will get some good ones and save quite a bit for sure.

Hi KrauseHome, Yes, discount coupons are really useful if we see that the items on sale is what we really need or want. We can save from 10% to as much as 50% per item on sale. Sometimes, i also take advantage of discount coupons offered by stores or restaurants. It helps me a lot if i see that i can really save money through it.

Discount coupons are only useful when they are for an item that you were going to purchase anyway, just buying an item because it's reduced isn't really saving you money in the long run. I just with there were more coupons for the items that I use or are for slightly more money off

Hi kelly10, That's right, sometimes discount coupons are not useful because it is for items that we don't need. If we buy the item because it is discounted, but we will not really use it, then we waste money.
