Frugal Living Today

Twelve days of freebies so far; I hope you’re grabbing some of these great giveaways! Today’s Get It Free Month freebie is free money. You read that right, this web site gives away money every day of the week and you’re not getting any - why is that?

Coupons.com is the site I’m talking about and if you haven’t caught on by now, a coupon is free money.  Every time you take one of those magical little pieces of paper into the supermarket with you, you are spending less of your money in favor of spending more of the company’s marketing dollars.  If you don’t see a coupon as free money just stop for a minute and think.  Let’s say a loaf of bread is $1.00 and you have a coupon for $.50 off.  Take that coupon, two quarters and whatever the tax would be in your area to the cashier and you have yourself a loaf of bread, right?

How is that not free money, and why do so many people not use coupons?  With just casual coupon-hunting the average-sized family can easily save $50 every month on groceries - most will save much more.  Is it not worth it in these financially challenging times to spend a few minutes time to save a few dollars at the checkout?  Methinks it is!
