Believe it or not, most people don't know how to use coupons.  You will think that you are saving money but not really.  There is time for coupon and not coupon.  It's kind of tricky too.  Once you get to master the coupons, hey you will be smiling like you just cracked a secret code.  You could see yourself saying you don't want to spent $3.00 on a  cheese when you can get it for $1.50.

     I used to be in that situation thinking that I'm stretching a dollar but i'm not.  I'm a stay home mom at the moment while my husband is working for us.  We used to spend $400.00 a month just for food alone.  Right now we only spend $150 a month.  So what you think? Is $150.00 enough to feed two adults a five, three, two and three months old for a month?  To answer my  own question, yes it is possible. 

     Don't use the coupon just because its on sale or it says $2.00 off.  For example, a $1.00 off when you buy three.  Do you really need the three items that have a dollar off when you buy three?  If you really need the three items go for it, if not look at the other brand, it could save you a dollar instead of costing you $1.50.  If there is a coupon for a dollar off any maxwell coffee? try look at the other brand.  For example the maxwell coffee is cost $4.00 and you have a dollar off coupon.  The folger coffee cost $2.50.  That saves you $.50 and  believe me that fifty cents will add up at the end of the month

     After using the coupons, put how much the coupons save you in the biggie bank.  Or if your receipt says you saved $.40, put the forty cents in the biggie bank.  If you got some lose change leave out a dollar in change and put the rest in the biggie bank.  You will think  that three cents or a nickel is nothing but, they add up at the end of the month.  Go over your coupons and your shopping list.  If a sale item catches  your eyes, ask yourself do you really need it? or how long has it been on sale? why is it on sale?  Look at the expiration date and do your math from there.  Another thing, try to walk over your temptations in the stores while shopping  not your temptations walk over you, because you will end up buying. 

     Good luck on your couponing and i hope this help you save $20.00 this month.
