People laugh at me because I like coupons. I have been accused of being a “Marketer’s Dream,” which is ironic because I work in Marketing. The fact is, however, that if you are savvy, coupons can save you some money. No, maybe not $50 a trip, but if you save even $5 a week, that adds up to $20 a month, or $240 a year. Not sounding so silly anymore, is it?
Today I was grocery shopping and decided to look at the coupon rack. Most of them were useless to me, but then something caught my eye: “Buy four Lean Cuisine meals and get 4 free items!” I always buy at least four Lean Cuisines anyway, so this was a steal for me – I got free bottled water, yogurt, candy and salad, just for buying something I always buy.
You shouldn’t let a coupon or sale steer you towards buying something you won’t use “just because it’s on sale,” but if you keep an eye out, they should be able to help you with the important stuff!
