I use to be the person in line at the grocery store that was annoyed with the person in front of me with a lot of coupons. I thought it was a complete waste of time and who cares if you save a dollar or two? One day driving to work I heard something on the radio that said it really is worth the gas to drive around for sales. This was still not worth the time and effort from me.
My husband was laid off and his unemployment ran out. Time to start learning how to be thrifty. I would clip a few coupons & go shop for BOGO (buy one, get one)
I was bragging about saving $10 - $20 when I went grocery shopping. Then a friend of mine told me she spends about $50 and gets about $150 worth of merchandise.
I am still working on the art of this magical money saving plan but so far so good. Today was my first day of actually going to a couple different stores with coupons attempting to save money. I bought $218.06 worth of groceries and a few odds & ends. I only paid $135.74. I saved $82.32 using coupons and shopping smartly using the adds in the Sunday paper. The photo below is my receipt from one of my stops.
So I do believe that coupons are worth the time and I am the person in the line at the grocery store that people are annoyed with.
BTW - (my hubby is working again)
