Tips for Couponing Safely
It's important to be careful when you coupon. The reason is one that you may think is way out in left field until it happens to you or someone you know. Couponing can be addictive in that you're always in search of the best deal. You must remember that it doesn't matter if you have a coupon or not, if you don't need the item, don't buy it. It's as simple as that. There is no point in having clutter in your home and that's what will happen if you purchase items you don't need or won't use. This will happen when you can get an item for a great deal and you have a lot of coupons for that same item. It's hard to control yourself when this happens but you must do it. Share the coupon and deal with others so they can take advantage of it and you don't have a ton of that one item in your home taking up space. While that will be hard to do, you need to in order to control your couponing and stockpiles. There is no point in having 100 toothbrushes or 25 bottles of hot sauce in your home. A good rule to follow with your stockpile depends on your needs and the number of people in your family, but it's safe to say no more than six months. Most times an item will be marked down to a really low price and six months later it will come around again. So if you have enough to get you through six months you'll be good for that item. It's also important to watch expiration dates. There is NO point in purchasing 20 bottles of something that has a shelf life of 30 or 60 days. Why spend the money on it when it's sure to expire before you will use it. Couponing can get out of hand quicker than you can think it will if you're not careful. Don't put your family in a hardship just because you're out to get the best deal no matter what the item is and if you need it or not. The main reason you coupon is to save money not spend so much that you struggle to make ends meet. It's just not worth it! Pay attention to what you're doing and only buy what you need. Don't waste money on items you won't use or things you'll end up throwing away because they expired before you could use them. Stockpile what you need and no more. When you do this you'll find the grocery bill will be smaller, you won't have products taking over your home, and you'll have more money for the things you want. Want your fair share of the savings?
