Is it really worth it?

Clipping, sorting and storing all those coupons can seem like a pain. Most people give up on coupons even before they start. Some may feel like they don't want to waste all that time only to save a few bucks at the grocery store. Others simply don't know where to begin. I can tell you it does take time, but if you really want to save money, you will see results that make it worth your while.

With the economy the way it is, it only makes sense to use coupons. Who isn't looking for ways to save money? We stay home more, we're not taking vacations, driving less, cutting back on entertainment and eating out. But what if you could continue doing the things you enjoy by simply clipping a few coupons and shopping around for the best price? Makes sense to me. The average family of four can save approximately 25% on their monthly grocery bill when they utilize coupons. For example, if you normally spend $400 per month, you could save about $100 each month, that's $1200 per year. So before you throw the idea of couponing out the door, evaluate your monthly spending and think about what it could be with coupons.
