To Coupon or Not to Coupon? (Part 12)

So, we're not quite through the series yet, but I wanted to step back for a minute and get the question that you may be asking yourself out into the open.

"Should I dive in and begin couponing for real?"

I hope that I haven't made couponing seem like too daunting of a task. Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve when you get started, and it does take a couple hours each week, but is it worth it?

Let me ask you two questions. 

1) If you could increase your monthly income by $100-$300 (or maybe more), would you do it?
2) How would you spend that extra money each month?  Or would you put it in savings?

If you are currently working within a monthly budget, your answer to the second question will be more concrete.  Our family has a written, thorough budget for each month, and let me tell you, we know where the money we save through couponing is going!  What would that look like for you?  Would you put the money toward paying off any debts more quickly?  Would you put it in a savings account for a new vehicle?  The options are endless!


Don't hesitate--dive in now! Make sure you're getting your discounted Sunday paper each week so you have lots of coupons, and start saving!

Remember, a dollar saved is better than a dollar earned.  You don't have to pay tax on money you save. =)
