When I first started saving money I would get a free product coupon and rush to the store to claim my prize. lol Now I save it for a little while to see if that product will have a buy one get one sale. That way I get two for my free product coupon. This can also work nicely with a couple high value coupons and a buy one get one sale.
Remember the key is Maximize your saving. Mix sales, store promos, coupons and rebates. My personal goal this year is to pay for chistmases and birthdays using money and gift cards I earn from my online activities. The money I save in the stores is going to be saved so I can be debt free and buy a home. Maybe you want a new car, house or a vacation use your savings to put towards it. I learned couponing/shopping from my grandpa Don Beedie (RIP) and he always told me debt was not a good thing unless it was your house. "if you dont have the cash for it, then you dont need it" was his motto. It represented Old school American values work hard, stretch a dollar. I am teaching these things to my son and hopefully to some of you.
