Coupons! Coupons! Coupons! Most people that live a frugal lifestyle use coupons. Using a combination of the sales circulars and coupons you can get many items for free and save quite a bit of money on other items. It requires a bit of work but there are some things that can be done to make couponing easier.
1. Find the coupons.
Coupons can be found in magazines, newspapers, and on the internet. There are so many places to look for coupons. One of these sites, Findsavings, offers so many coupons and discounts from everything to food to shoes. You can click on the coupon you are looking for and print it off. Learning to use these sources can make couponing so much easier.
2. Stay organized.
Separating the coupons by category and even by expiration dates will make enable you to find the exact coupon you are looking for. There are organizers that are being sold or you can make your own organization files.
3. Watch the expiration dates.
It is important to throw away expired coupons. You may even consider organizing your coupons by topic and then by expiration date, so that the ones that are about to expire will always be in the front of the stack.
4. Make it a habit to calendar and fill out the rebate forms.
If you are like me, I forget to send in the rebate forms. Make it a habit to put the due date on the calendar for any rebates that you have.
5. Join a coupon exchange club.
I’ve never subscribed to a coupon exchange club so I’m not sure about these. I do know that they exist and are easily found on the web. If someone has ever used them, please let us know your experience on this.

















Thanks for the tips. I plan on using a lot more coupons next year and can take all the tips I can get!
Thanks for the great tips. I have a coupon book but I never thought about joining a coupon exchange club. That is a really good idea. I am going to look into that.
I love this post. I have never tried using coupons for our groceries. My mom wants to use coupons but we don’t know where we could find them.
