Financial Planning

Sunday is the best day to relax and do some exciting stuff sitting back at home. What can be more exciting than collecting coupon Ads which has become a part of frugal households around the entire country. For some this may not be the appealing way to spend the weekend, but for some people like me this is the most relaxing way because it helps me in saving loads of money every week. It has become like a daily routine for me to purchase a local newspaper, sit at my dining table with the stacks of these papers and a pair of scissors and start choosing the best coupon and newspaper Ads.

I make sure I am productive enough when I start working on my coupon Ads. I employ good basic strategies to ensure I utilize my full time and money on coupons wisely. The most important part here is to choose the best newspapers which have the good discounted coupons. Coupon collecting can be a hectic job too but to make it a relaxing job it is advisable for you to follow these steps:

1.)   Make use of your internet before buying newspapers: With this I mean that even before buying your Sunday newspapers you can check online details of the entire coupons to be printed on Sunday. Here are some things you can utilize:

a.)   Check the list of best coupon sites from Google to get the latest update on grocery deals and details of your favorite pharmacies etc.

b.)  With your local supermarket you can easily coordinate rebates and coupons and can learn better ways to save on everyday products.

c.)  Utilize online printable coupons, bring them to your nearby stores and avail huge discounts.

d.)  Grab the best newspaper of the town. Make sure that the coupon inserts are still valid and also ensure you get what you are paying for.

2.)   Organize your coupons in one place: It is always advisable to place the coupons at one place rather placing them here and there and then searching for them at the time of use. Make a file cabinet drawer and keep all your rebates, coupons and receipts there. Also you can have large envelope where you can place all the coupons together. There are many ways but make sure you use the best one. Always remember that your disorganization can cost you some amazing savings!

3.)   Prepare in advance: When I talk of preparation here it means that make sure you have replaced the old coupons with the new ones on time and do check for expiration dates. This can help you in saving few hours down the road. It takes hardly five minutes to chuck out the old coupons, so please make use of those five minutes properly.

4.)   Make sure you review your newspaper: Have a look at the local periodicals that comes everyday with your mail. You can also keep them in a pile and then later on Sunday you can review them. You can place your stack right next to your weekly mail pile. There might be many deals which may not appear on your website, in that cases quickly go through the deals in your local newspaper. You can also coordinate your coupons with the sales to save some extra money.

These techniques are worth applying in order to utilize the coupon Ads which can help you in saving loads and loads of money. The best part is with minor planning and organizing you can save money on your grocery bills every week without losing your invaluable free time.

What you might earn with this is the smile on the face of your family members when you buy some half priced ice cream cube for the entire family.
