I have heard people say, “Oh, it’s too much trouble to use coupons.” Or, “It’s just not worth it.” Really? Since the beginning of the year, I have been keeping track of how much money we have saved using coupons and coupon codes. My Year to Date savings is $6,167.34 My rule of thumb was, if I had to go to some extra effort to save money, such as clipping a coupon or hunting down a coupon code when shopping online, I notated the savings. In my opinion, that kind of savings is definately worth the effort!
