Save Money With Coupons!

March 4, 2012 by 10 Comments

The following is a guest post by Outside the Box Mom:

questions about using coupons

Thanks to your comments on this series, we have some great questions to address…

Question:

I’m probably an casual couponer, if I accidentally come across a coupon for something I need, then I’ll use it.

Answer:

What is Casual Couponing?

I would say a casual couponer is someone who will use a coupon if they come across it, but don’t necessarily make a plan to find them. According to CommissaryDeals.com, casual couponers save 25-40% on their grocery shopping trips. Typically, when one first starts clipping coupons, he/she would just grab a few here and there from the Sunday Paper, using a few coupons per visit.

Are you a Casual Couponer?

  • Do you clip coupons for “items you buy” from one weekly newspaper and/or magazines?
  • Do you hunt for printable coupons once in a while for a hot sale or a need based purchase?
  • Do you typically save 15%, 25%, 40% or less off your grocery bill?

How Coupons Come to You

  • as you are walking through the grocery store, you may see “tear pad” coupons
  • as you are reading through magazines, you may see coupons inside
  • you may find coupons on products
  • someone may leave a coupon on top of the product you are getting ready to buy
  • if you purchase the required number of products in a store’s promotion and receive $ off today’s purchase (like Kroger $5 off [Read more…]

March 3, 2012 by 9 Comments

Some of you may have little kids in your life. Some of you may even not have children in your home. Those of you who don’t, know what it feels like to sleep in on the weekend, lol. Those with, may be able to remember those lazy Saturdays where the only thing you had to worry about is your feet poking out of the sheets.

As families grow time, seems to move more quickly. In order to get it all done, we try to get up earlier and stay up later- We end up staying awake into the wee hours of the night in order to finish that last bit of work, and getting up early to prep for your family’s day. Sleep time gets less and less while stress becomes greater and greater.

There are studies released all the time about the importance of a good night’s sleep and healthy sleep patterns. An adult needs eight hours of sleep. Sure, some of us might feel like [Read more…]
