Well, we all have to buy it don't we! Here's just a simple example of how couponing can save you money on toilet paper this week. If you look at this week's Target ad they are offering Scott toilet paper at $7.49. for an 8 pk or 12 pk mega size But, if you've learned the ropes on couponing you have a manufacture's coupon for $1.00 off and a Target coupon for $1.00 off. So you can actually buy this for $5.49.
Part of the "secret" is that the Target $1.00 coupon was on the Target website about 2 weeks ago and no longer appears, BUT, it doesn't expire until 5/31/10. So, it's a good idea to print those target coupons for items that aren't listed in that week's sale circular because odds are it will be on sale sometime before the coupon expires.
This exact same scenario can be done for the Tide and Downy that's on sale this week for $5.99 in the Target ad. You could actually be buying them for $3.99 each. (A great "stock up" price for these items though I have gotten them cheaper in the past.)
That's just one week and your saving $6.00 that you can spend elsewhere in your budget for basic household items.
Yes, at first, "learning the ropes" of this coupon thing took me about 2 hours a week to figure out. Now, 3 months later it takes me about 20 minutes a week to plan my purchases.
