Getting Serious About Freebies And Coupons To Save Your Household Big Money

April 26, 2018 by Lynn

It’s hard to watch news programs and entire TV shows dedicated to couponing and not get excited. How is it that some families can spend less than $20 a month on household goods and groceries? Well, the answer is that they coupon like their lives depend on it – and they’re consistent. Dedicated couponers don’t leave home without their coupon books, and they don’t buy anything unless it is on sale. Going to Myfreedeals.Com yields both money saving coupons as well as free samples on products that your family can use and enjoy. If you want to get serious about reducing your grocery bill, then follow along closely.

Set Up Your Couponing Organization System

Even if you are going to stick to digital coupons in the beginning so you don’t have to create binders and cut out a bunch of coupons, you have to be well organized before you shop. The better your coupon organization system, the less time you’ll need to spend browsing the aisles at grocery stores. You might find that a spreadsheet is really helpful to have printed out and at your disposal before you go to shop. Otherwise, a digital grocery store list with items that you can cross out on your tablet might be the option that helps you to stay best organized.

Collecting Circulars, Coupons, and Newspapers

Finding one money saving coupon will hopefully get you more motivated to keep on couponing, but you might also feel disappointed when you see your limitations. Grocery stores can have restrictions on the number of items that you can get on sale but remember that transactions can be split up. What’s more important is that you have the coupons you need on hand to get excellent savings. Bigger families might need to buy three or four jars of spaghetti sauce to make one dinner, so a single coupon isn’t going to do very much. Get as many newspapers as you can so that you can collect additional coupons, then use them when you’re ready to go major shopping.

Building Your Stockpile

The same items aren’t going to be on sale every week, so if your objective is to save the most money, you have to start stockpiling. Basically, stockpiling is just buying and then collecting products that you know your family uses regularly. You can stockpile toilet paper and bottled water, or diapers and baby products if you are expecting. It would probably take a few months for a family to run through a big stockpile, but that’s pretty much the purpose of buying it for cheap when it’s on sale.

If you avoid going shopping and making impulse purchases, you can track every single dollar that you spend. Additionally, using coupons to shop for necessities will teach you that you don’t have to pay full price for the staples. You might end up trying out different brands and find that generic brands aren’t all that bad either. For the difference in price you’ll pay with couponing versus not couponing, the work will be worth it.
