Ahhhh Sunday, it’s finally here. Hurry to Gibby’s and get your newspapers filled with coupons to see what exciting deals lie between the glossy pages of inserts. As you cut out your paper riches don’t leave behind the ones you feel you won’t use, cut them out as well. There are a lot of fellow couponers out there or people who would like to be.
Form a coupon club. Get together at a local restaurant like Hoges . They have a nice big back room where you can all gather round a table and share tips on organizing, shopping and the best deals but most of all share coupons. Those supposed worthless coupons that you went ahead and cut out, are now the ticket to get you more of something else that you really want for while you may not have needed those four Beggin Strip coupons because you don’t have a dog, Suzy Q sitting next to you does and she just happens to have four coupons for your favorite salad dressing.
Coupon clubs are not only good for trading coupons and tips. It’s wonderful to spend time with others who share the same passion for saving money and get the same thrill of the whole experience that you do and to form new friendships. It also gives others, who are interested, a chance to be a part of it all.
Couponing is the one addiction that truly benefits you and your family. It saves so much money and the time that it takes though less than most people think, is no more than anyone might invest in a hobby. At first it may be an awkward at best endeavor but as you achieve your own techniques and your own system that feels right for you, it will become a obsession that even the kids can share.
Not sure how to find others who share your fixation? Next time you’re in the grocery store look among the people perusing the isles and find one with coupons. Approach them and ask about them. There isn’t a couponer alive who doesn’t love talking to others about their love of couponing.
