How to Use Coupons to Your Advantage

I don’t know if you all had seen this show a while back, but this segment off Good Morning America really caught my eye. It is, of course, a free website. As a bonus, it also lists Upromise rebates. My aunt who I love dearly, sends us coupons. When I was little, I’d always clip her coupons when we visited her.

1: Instead of clipping and filing coupons immediately, she writes the date on the packet of coupons that come with her Sunday paper and sets them aside.

2: Then I look for the best deals lists that my grocery store publishes each week. If I see a great deal for a product I use, I go back to my circular, find a coupon, clip it out, and go shopping.

For people who don’t want to take the time to match coupons to store sales, this lady’s website does it for them. The site’s virtual coupon organizer is kept current with help from volunteers, who provide information on grocery sales in states across the country.
