#1. Create a Bank of Discounts.

There’s a lot of power in unity. So how can you capitalize on this truth and join forces to save? One of the ways is to ask your colleagues or friends what discount cards they have and invite them to share. You can create a simple Google Docs document with the cards you all have and share it among yourselves. This way, everyone will have a lot of discounts at once. Such a “bank of discounts” has worked wonders for me.

5 Ways To Save Money On Household Essentials

If you’re in charge of the household budget, you may be constantly on the lookout for ways to cut back on the essential products you buy the most, not to mention big-ticket items that you purchase only infrequently. And whether you’re purchasing toilet paper, frozen pizza, or electronics, there are all kinds of ways to cut costs if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. Luckily, there are also tools and strategies that will help to streamline the process. Here are just a few money-saving tips that should truncate your spending.

Join a coupon club. If you simply don’t have the time to engage in hours of extreme couponing as though it were a full-time job, then you can get a little relief and a lot of savings by joining a local coupon club. Each member splits tasks like checking circulars, searching for manufacturer coupons online, and matching up deals for increased savings. You’ll realize the same savings as extreme couponers with only a fraction of the effort.

Double dip. One great way to save that many people overlook is through double dipping on coupons and discounts. For example, if you have a store coupon for an item that you purchase frequently, you might also look online for a manufacturer coupon that allows you to increase your savings. And if you manage to use them when the item is already on sale, you might end up walking away with a steal. It is for this reason that many couponers stockpile non-perishable items; they simply might not find such a good deal down the road.

5 Reasons Not To Use Coupons For Groceries

1. They take way too long to collect. I can think of many other things I would rather spend my time doing than clipping coupons. Whether you enjoy it or not, think of all the time you are spending looking for just the right deals. If you are a coupon clipper, I would recommend that you pay attention to how much time you spend each day/week gathering your coupons. Make sure the savings is worth your time.
