How can people save alot of money using coupons?

Question

I have been reading people's answers on here and many say they save alot of money at the store using coupons. How is that? I can never find any coupons for the things that I buy.

Answer 1

when you buy items like groceries and you have coupons for discounts, you get to pay the discounted price rather than the full price of the items you bought. this will help you save a lot of money especially when you're on a tight budget.

Answer 2

Start with the sunday paper and try a site like coolsavings.com , do not use coupons for things you are not going to use, also check for stores that double coupons/

Answer 3

buy something you don't want or need but can use a coupon on.

Answer 4

Look in the Sunday paper or slickdeals.net (forums)

Answer 5

It is a de3finite skill. I've heard of some people successfully saving a lot, but I can't conceive of how it's done. It's just too much work.

Answer 6

Let's take a can of soda as an example. Suppose you drink a can of soda everyday. the price is $1. The coupon says '50% off'. You only need to pay $.0.5. since you drink soda everyday, using coupons for a week can save $3.5 . Little coupons and coupons with low discount can't save you much money, but if you keep using them for a long period of time, eventually you can save quite a lot of money.

Not all stores have coupons to offer, mostly they're just supermarkets and convenient stores. but sometimes i find coupons in magazines like seventeen and cosmo girl, you can get a discount when purchasing clothing =)
