coupons
« on: December 09, 2015, 06:34:44 am »
I met a man who said that the more coupons you have, the more you spend.
That was his experience when he went shopping.
Most shoppers don't realize it
It may be a matter of opinion.
The prices of items change day to day.
My mom notices a certain day in the week when the prices are lowest and the store is most crowded.

I'm sure its true for some people.  They think they're saving money but they're buying things they wouldn't normally get to start with so it ends up costing them.  I use coupons when getting groceries, but only on things that I plan on buying to start with.  They can help out a lot at times!

I rarely use coupons because they are not for things I normally buy. I don't buy things just because i have them.

I use coupons a lot.  A few times i have bought something I never bought before because of a coupon and loved the product and bought it again.

I will use coupons sometimes. I can see how buying things just to use the coupon and save a bit could happen very easily.  :in-love:

I use coupons on stuff I was already planning on buying or if it's for something I know we will use but don't necessarily need right at the moment. But I have found sometimes the store brand is cheaper if if you have a coupon for another brand.

Yes, I don't doubt that is true for some people. I myself use to coupon quite a bit, and there were times i would buy something, perhaps just to give it a try, because it was a little bit cheaper with the coupon. However, if the product was not as good as I hoped, I would not purchase it again. I think the key is to use coupons if you would ordinarily have bought the product anyway, or if you want to give a new product a try. After that, the product has to be good in its' own right.

I use coupons if I need something on an item I'm gonna buy anyway. I especially like restaurant coupons cuz gotta eat anyway.
