COUPONS - saving money makes me money!

Posted by Moms Cash Blog on April 9th, 2008I recently started using coupons more often to see if it could help me with saving money. I was surprised to learn that by using coupons and money saving deals, sales or promotions…I actually ended up making money as if I had a really good paying part-time job!

coupons are desinged for you to spend more
it can also be used to get you as a new customer
when you go to costco and buy in bulk you feel like you are saving money but you end up spending more money with the volume you purchase.

I disagree with you 50% on that. Like I expressed in the video, some coupons are not worth it - while others can save and make you a lot of money! You must be logical about which ones to use Brent : )

@ Brent - You’re only out of pocket a larger sum of money the day you go to costco. You can save a large amount by shopping at warehouse stores. Would you rather be out $20 for something that you use all the time that will last you 3 months or buy that item every week for 3 months at a higher per unit cost. If you don’t know how things are priced, how coupons work or how marketing works in general, then yes, you definitely will spend more money by using coupons.
@Kristi - I’m a coupon freak too. I just bought my son all the decorations for his first birthday party online and found a coupon for free express shipping and 15% off the total as well. My total was about 40% less than going to a brick and mortar store, plus no sales tax.

I love coupons! Have you heard about the grocery game? I recently signed up for it and it’s pretty cool!

I tried using coupons for a while, and while I did “save money”, you do have to think before you buy.
100% of the time, you are required to buy name brand items. If you normally do this, that’s fine… but if you don’t mind buying generic stuff, well, you will end up spending more with coupons.
Plus, many times, you are required to buy more than one of the product in order to get the discount. This is not a problem for non-perishable items, but stuff like milk and lunch meat that spoils quickly… well I know personally, it will go bad before I consume it all.

I really don’t think that I’ll ever start using coupons… I am just too lazy about the whole process… either cutting it out of those neat dotted lines, printing it from online, etc… just seems like a lot more work to me to save a little bit…
but… great post for those who enjoy the coupon thing
