Decision about coupons.

if u can save money anyway nowadays u are doing well. i haven't been able to save money since i had to quit working. was doing pretty good at saving till then. i get my coupons out of the sun. paper.

This sounds like a good plan. I haven't really been worried about it, as we don't get very many coupons that apply to us - I'm not a very good coupon hunter, I think. But I guess it would be nice to keep track of how much we save by using coupons.

OMG what an absolutely brilliant idea!!! In fact I think thats one that I'll have to try myself since I'm huge on coupons too...Brilliant just brilliant!! thansk for sharing

I used to try to do that,but found that I couldn't do it. I don't know why but it just seemed to be to big of a job for me. I have found that if I save my change I do better. I try to also put one dollar bill back into a bag every two or three days and I find that I can save some money that way. I have been able to come up with enough to take a short day trip and that is something that we really enjoy doing. I wish you the best in your plan and Happy Savings!!

Hey saundyl! That is a very good idea! But, I really can't even afford to do that! I am really bad about using my coupons! I forget to take them to the store with me half the time! By the time I am ready to use them they have already expired! I really need to be alot more mindful of them and learn to have them with me and be more prepared! I do like your idea alot though!

That is a wonderful way to save money. I get coupons by downloading, and I buy discount card at McDolna's, for instance. They do help to save money. The issue is not the coupons, but the temptation to spend more because of the coupons. So better use the coupons only when you need the meal, clothing, shoes, etc. If it is approaching the expiration date, make a wise decision between use and give.
