Too often coupons are thrown away. Thousands upon thousands of pounds of paper are wasted on printing coupons that people never use. I figured once people accepted that we were living in a recession, they’d start using coupons. This hasn’t been the case. Yes, we watch reality television shows of mothers buying food each month for under $50 but that isn’t always realistic for everyone. Cutting out that many coupons would take time. Time that most of us just don’t have.
Have you ever thought about finding your coupons online? There are some pretty incredible websites that offer great deals on interesting things. I used to think the only sort of coupons out there were for women who go shopping at the grocery store- once again, not the case. There are two website that I want to mention in this article: groupon and livingsocial. Groupon is a website where we can buy deals. Usually the deals are 50-90% off the actual costs. For example, they might have a spend $30 at Olive Garden deal that I would have to buy for $15. I end up paying $15 for the piece of paper and am able to spend $30 on food. Inside the website are coupons for just about everything: Food, Exercise, Shopping, Fun, etc. Living Social is a bit different in that they have a section labeled “escapes”. In escapes we find deals such as a 4 night stay in the Bahamas that would originally be $1,140 for $402. Each deal comes with a kit. The Bahamas kit includes daily breakfast for two, resort fee included, and a couple excursions.
Both of these websites are great sources to save money through. I know the task of looking for coupons can be time consuming but with these websites you can navigate your way through coupons you would never use to coupons you would use on an everyday basis.
