In tough economic times, there is no better time to find ways to save money on your favorite products. Volatile fuel prices contribute to higher delivery costs for every type of product you can imagine thus increased prices. This increased cost doesn't help matters, so we as consumers have to get creative on ways to make our money go further. One sure way to help trim the grocery bill is to find coupons on our favorite or similar brands.
Shopping with discounts and/or during sales events are a great way to save money. Enjoying discounts on our favorite food products can help stretch our personal budgets. Finding coupons in modern times is relatively easy since they are released in most Sunday newspapers, available in mailers, magazines and, for added convenience, are available online. Printable cereal coupons, for example, are found at most coupon websites and even on most cereal manufacturer's websites. Some grocery companies, such as Ralph's and Food Lion, even allow you to go to their company websites and allow you to add coupons to your savings card. The only problem with loading them to a savings card is they expire within one hour. Most people still enjoy using the printable cereal coupons that allow them to use them at any store, any time of day.
There are coupons and discounts on a variety of products, not just food items. Manufacturers of personal care items and cosmetics rely on coupons as an incentive to get consumers to try their brands. One particular example is toothpaste. Different brand manufacturers such as Crest, Colgate and Close Up all offer savings to customers on a consistent basis. Sometimes it is for a new flavor or type of toothpaste they would like customers to try, such as the new whitening pastes. Cereal coupons are quite popular as well, since the leading brands like Kellogg's, General Mills and Post consistently offer savings on their products. They also like to introduce new flavors or types and offer cereal coupons as an incentive to try their product.
Celebrities, such as Ellen DeGeneres, that have their own daytime TV shows host coupon enthusiasts that save hundreds and thousands of dollars per year using coupons. For example, Joyce House (known as "The Coupon Diva") has a place on the show's website that highlights her tips and tricks to saving money. This brings an aspect of personal budgeting to the forefront and shows consumers how to make their money go further.
The disadvantage of coupons is that if they are not used quickly they expire. Expiration dates range from a week to a few months, but seldom any longer. This gives manufacturers flexibility to adapt to competition and protection from offering discounts at a later time if prices were to drop. It is recommended to organize your coupons by expiration date and purchase any products that have good shelf life right away. This eliminates the possibility of forgetting about the coupon or misplacing it. Hopefully this tip on saving money on groceries and other household products will help you and your family stretch your hard earned dollars.
