Ready to start saving?

Thanks Karen & Eileen for letting me post on your blog.

With the economy the way it is, what better time than now to start saving money, right? And using coupons with sale items is a GREAT way to start! Most coupons can be found in the Sunday paper, but there are TONS of other great coupons on the Internet. You need to download a program on to your computer so that the bar-code can print correctly & scan correctly at the store, but after that, the savings are ENDLESS.

You can generally print 2 coupons PER computer. After the coupon prints, just hit your back button a few times & another one will print. Each coupon will have a unique code printed under the expiration date. So, if you have more than one computer at home, that will increase the number of coupons you can print. Here is a list of websites that frequently change the coupons they have:

***Word of caution…if you think you *might* use a certain coupon; print it because they might be gone when you want it. Generally, the expiration date on the printed coupons will be one month from the date you print them.

Example:

$.50 mfg coupon + double = savings of $1.00 ($.50 + $.50 double)
$1.00 mfg coupon + double = savings of $1.50 ($1 + $.50 double)
