While we are discussing about topics relevant to Weekend Debate: Do you use coupons? – PurseBlog, These days the idea of over the internet shopping is something most of us with computers are employed to. Not only does it offer you you the convenience of shopping from the comfort of your house, you are able to do it at any hour of the day. If you ever take the time to compare the prices of what you find inside the retail shops or catalogs to what you locate online, it is possible to commonly uncover the item for much less which includes shipping.

I’m very appreciate this idea, thanks, but I have a question about the line 6, could you explain on it more?

Yes, I use coupons whenever I shop online. In these times of economic difficulty, every cent counts.

I always use them. I have a binder that is filled with baseball card holders that hold coupons in their own categories. Never pay for shower gel, deodorant, shaving cream, razors, shampoo, toothpaste, or make up again! I actually just started my blog to keep track of my savings.

Coupons just like anything else are skills that one must learn. My motto is make every purchase ( dollar) count. You have to look over what you normally purchase and inquire about discounts. I make use of corporate discounts ( many labels offer them) /mailing list/ shop around method. Overal, Being Flexible is the key to life. I am a college student and budgeting is a must ( although many my age or even older do not). I say know what at most you want to spend and try to spend as far south from you limit as possible.

I don’t buy the packaged foods, which is exactly what most coupons seem to be for. Most of the coupon offerings are for junk! I shop the produce, fresh bakery, butcher, and dairy departments. Rarely do stores have coupons for that stuff. Another thing about coupons is that they are often for specific brand name items. Oftentimes, the generic version of the food is still cheaper even if you have a coupon for the brand name version.

The only coupons I consistently use are coupons for non-food store I frequent, such as Macy’s, Ulta, and Waldenbooks.

Oh jeez….I never do because like pidgeon92, I don’t get a newspaper (because where I live, they only print one a week, and there are no coupons or ads or anything, it’s literally two pages). But I should get the Pittsburgh Post on Sundays–amazing coupons, I used to do this every week, now I realize I’m really missing out!! Off to get a Pittsburgh Post!

I’m a big couponer. I typically buy two Sunday papers, and usually save more than half on my grocery bill. I’m not as good as some, but my best ever transaction was $2 at Rite Aid for over $150 worth of stuff. It’s all stuff I use regularly, like shampoo and toothbrushes and stuff like that. I won’t have to buy that stuff for months. My best grocery deal was $13 out of pocket for over $50 worth of groceries. And you don’t have to eat prepackaged food to save with coupons. Many grocery stores have online coupons for their store (which can be combined with manufacturer coupons) for things like meat and produce. It takes a lot of work to get started, but since I started couponing a couple months ago, I’ve saved over $500.

I spent twice as much when I used coupons.I was awful; I tried all these new products with coupons. Most were just garbage that I ended up throwing away. What a waste of money for me. I am not disciplined enough to use coupons. That being said, I don’t pay retail for big ticket items and scour the internet for discounts.
