| Results Week 4/21-4/47 You Saved How Much |
Couponing Tip: One of the biggest mistakes beginning coupons do is not pacing themselves. They get the thrill of the deals and then before they know it they are chasing every deal out there. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's not great! In the long run you are going to end up burning out. After you burn out, you can lose interest in couponing and end up not saving anything whatsoever! So it commit yourself to complete savings in your life, pace yourself and you deals. To begin, choose one grocery store, drugstore, and supercenter and only go ONCE! Unless you feel like you want to only do one, then commit yourself to that store until you master their couponing policies and go forward! So my tip for this week is pace yourself and avoid the burnout!
