Very good advice. A lot of people still don’t realize that by making small, simple changes in their habits, it will affect their financial status in the end.

My other half got us started with coupons; we’ll buy the early edition of the Sunday paper and look not only at the coupons, but at the grocery stores ads too. We try and pair the two items up so that we are using a coupon on a sale item: yes, these can be combined at grocery stores. Our typical savings on a poor trip is about 30% and we have saved as much as 95-95% (you still have to pay taxes) on our really well planned trips. On average, I would estimate that we save 50 to 60% on a trip to the grocery store.
Our use of coupons and advertised specials doesn’t stop there: tires, oil changes, break, lawn care products are amongst the many items that we purchase with either a printed media or online coupon.
How much have we saved over the years: I have no idea, LOTS. But it as allowed us to maintain our one income family with four kids and still come out okay.

Anyone who understands simple economics (no degree necessary!) knows that making your money work for you is the easiest path to financial security.

Every dollar you spend should get your more than a dollar return or it’s not working for you. Coupons let you do that. Coupons combined with sales ramps up that ‘working’ dollar, coupons doubled combined with sales takes it up yet another notch. Then rebates and refunds often give you a 100%+ return on money spent. In other words, your money is MAKING you money.

And coupons are like cash, the minute you use them it’s no different than handing money to the cashier. Only it didn’t come out of your wallet.

What’s not to like about that!
