My Tuesday’s Tip of the day is to save your coupons. When the average person buys his or her newspapers on Sunday, they will go through the coupons and cut only the coupons they think they will need within the next week. Stores know this. Manufacturers know this too. Manufacturers are not banking on the fact that you are saving all of the coupons – even if you don’t need them right now. Why are you saving them? You want to hold on to each and every coupon because you never know when there will be a sale where the item will be free if you use your coupons. Or, even better, there may be a sale where you can MAKE MONEY if you use your coupons. Example: Fisher’s Nuts are on sale for $0.80 and you have a $1.00 off coupon. Depending on whether your store allows overage, you will either receive the nuts free or even better, free plus $0.20 overage!
Save your coupons. You will be shocked at how many free items you can get with the use of coupons that are a month old or older.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
