Money Saving Coupons

Don't underestimate the power of coupons for saving money. While saving .25 cents on a $3 item might not seem like much, it can add up if you use several of them. I also recommend shopping at a food store that accepts double coupons. This means they'll take your .25 cent coupon and give you .50 cents off the product.

Using coupons is not only for lower income shoppers either. A recent survey by NCH Marketing Services, said that 82.9 percent of people in the $25,000 - $50,000 income range used coupons, the highest usage of any income group.

Also...

Over 3,000 manufacturers offer nearly 330 billion coupons every year -- worth about $280 billion.

Consumers redeem about 8 billion of those coupons -- about $4.7 billion worth.

So where do you get good coupons? Of course you can find them in your Sunday newspaper and magazines, however, I have found that the Sunday paper has been a bit tight with their coupon offers lately and I've experimented elsewhere. I still use the newspaper and magazines, however the internet has become an excellent way of finding coupons online. I've been using coupons.com.

With over $100 worth of Free coupons from familiar consumer brands, Coupons.com is the undisputed leader in providing print-at-home coupons. Coupons.com works with over 300 well known companies such as General Mills, L’Oreal, Johnson & Johnson & 3M products offering in-store coupons with a value up to $9.00 each.

They also offer a free coupon bar that installs on your web browser. It displays every time you use your computer and keeps you up to date of the latest coupon offers that you can instantly print out and use on your next shopping trip. They don't require any user registration and there's no purchase, no registration, no forms to fill out! You can simply install the CouponBar, accept program terms and you're on your way to printing coupons to your hearts content.

I think online coupons are a great tool and I save several dollars each week using them and I know you will too.

DOES BUDGETING WORK?

Most People Spend 10% More Than They Make!

You probably know how much money you made last month, but do you know how much money you spent? Or do you know how much money you have left to spend this month? If you don't you're not alone, most people have no idea. The fact is most of us spend 10% more per month than we make. That comes out to $431 per month based on the average American income. No wonder the average credit card debt is now at $8,500!
