I need a spot of chamomile tea to soothe my coupon-crazed nerves…
Okay, I confess… I don’t really drink tea. And, I don’t always use grocery coupons. I want to. I have a basketful in the kitchen and a file full of them in the car. But when I’m in a hurry or in the spur-of-the-moment, which is often, I forget.
In theory I’m pretty keen on the idea of shopping for groceries with coupons, but in reality, admittedly, I’m far from the best. Through managing the SpendLessTV.com site I get so many really excellent coupon grocery shopping strategies from fellow money-savers and still, I feel overwhelmed. I know I’m just the type of shopper manufacturers, grocery stores, and supermarkets are banking on. They’re banking on the fact that most people won’t make use of the coupons.
Don’t get me wrong, coupons are a fantastic and easy way to save a lot of money, but there are times when I’m just not able to use them, even with the convenient opportunities like Online coupons and cellphone coupons.
There are plenty of Grocery Coupon Masters out there who excel at the skill of couponing and operate the coupon saving system more smoothly than bank accountants. I’m in awe of their abilities. But for me, coupons and tea have a lot in common: I love the idea; I want to enjoy all the benefits; I have dozens of varieties on hand,even if I don’t get to actually use them.
Am I the only grocery coupon-challenged money-saver out there? No. So it’s a good thing there are easy ways to save money at the grocery store without using coupons! Yes, there are basic strategies that will help you save money during those times you may find yourself in a coupon-pinch!
