In the long run, the best thing to save money is to teach your children very early on about money. Coupons, or e-coupons, paying off credit cards by due dates etc are some of the ways in which you can make money (= saving money). I always recommend that children learn about money very early on. In that regard, parents should teach them or read to them books about finance. A good read is the series Finance for Kidz.

Wow! I’d never even heard of this! I have usually avoided Safeway, but now I am going to rethink it! Sounds like it might be a great way to save some money!

Interesting stuff. My main worry is that I completely forget paper coupons that I can look up. I shudder to think how forgetful I’ll be of coupons I don’t clip out. Hopefully, there is a place where you can check the coupons you’ve downloaded. Then I’d be willing to give it a shot.

My other main concern, which you already addressed, is making sure all of the coupons get used. I suppose it’s no more cumbersome than any other coupon process.

ANOTHER coupon opportunity:

This is more for “luxury items” (such as eating out, beauty treatments, health clubs, wine class, etc.) rather than daily necessities, but can create a huge savings if you’re planning on something like that already. It also is more likely to be available in metro areas and not so much in rural areas.

Try searching for “groupons” in your area. These websites typically have a featured post of the day with significant savings (most more than 50% off!). When you read the “deal”, it will list all the Tc & Cs of expiration date, limitations, etc. You pay the amount and receive your prepaid receipt for the service.

I am just learning the ropes of paper coupons and now there are paperless coupons? I think I will just jump into the internet and learn that method too. Thanks for detailing this new trick for us fledgling Couponistas!

Is it legal? That is a very silly question to ponder. Of course it is legal! Stores have the right to charge what they wish, and so do manufacturers. If they are okay with giving away a box of Lucky Charms by letting a redneck come in with five combined coupons, that is their choice. Just as its their choice if they do not wish to accept ANY coupons.

Unfortunately my local grocery store won’t even accept coupons printed off the internet let alone have a store card that would be set up for ecoupons. But I shop there as they are ALWAYS the lowest priced store in the area – maybe because they don’t offer any of the gimmicks like other stores do…..

And bonus, they still have packers that pack your groceries, take your cart out, and return it so you don’t have to. This is great support for the community as it gives local kids another oppportunity for a job.
