According to the coupon expert Bill (the guy from the Apprentice on Rachel Ray today)...most of the coupons are used by households who make over $75,000 and the least are used by those who make under $25,000. Also of the 400 billion coupons printed only 1% are ever used! Plus set aside just 30 minutes per week to cut coupons/plan your shopping trip and save $6500 per year. Is it worth your time?
It is worth my time, for this week (sorry no pics) I would have spent $195.42 on household and grocery products, but after coupons and rebates, I spent $73.43, or a savings of 63%. Not the best week ever, but anytime I can stay under $75 and save over 50% I consider a success. How did you do?
Dawn, I love your new blog. Thanks for all of the great tips. I've tried to coupon, and sometimes I'm really good, but other times, I pretty much stink at it. Quick question: Is it cheaper to go through Costco for diapers, or is the Rite Aid/Walgreens way the best?
ReplyDeleteAshley, that is not a quick question, the quick answer is depends. It is a great question though and I will elaborate in a new post.
ReplyDeleteI bought diapers at Smiths. I normally don't shop there but you had a link on your other blog for kroger coupons. I checked it out. There was a coupon for kroger diapers for $3 off and you could print the coupon twice. Also found out that the diapers were on sale for $5.96. So I had to two transactions but the cashier was nice to do it for me and so I got two packs of diapers for a little over $6 with tax. I figured it was like paying for one pack vs. two. Great savings and I was so excited.
