Make The Most Out Of Coupons

Why I Don’t Use Coupons

Usually, I’d be against the whole coupon thing. I can hear you now, “But Baz, coupons save money. Aren’t you all about saving money?” I can’t use grocery store coupons. The reason is because the coupons are always for the high priced version of what I’m looking for. There are tons of Kellogg’s coupons but none for the Great Value brand that I buy at Walmart. Even with the coupons, the cheaper brands usually work out cheaper.

The Exception

The exception is for electronics. For electronics, people usually buy the name brand versions anyway. This is where coupon codes come in handy. The last ones I remember using where Buy.com coupon codes. I got myself a blue tooth headset for next to nothing.

Good for you for knowing what works for you. I’m a store brand person myself, but there are exceptions as well, sometimes I’m just dying for some Bryer’s ice cream and then a coupon comes in handy with their sales.

I know, but I haven’t found anything that I might by that’s not a store brand that has a coupon. Eg. I don’t by store brand chicken, but I can never find coupons for those. My Toothpaste isn’t store brand but there are never any coupons for those either.

I guess I’ll keep looking. What I don’t want to do is go in the other direction: find coupons first, then decide what to buy. That’s a sure way to lose money.
