Using Coupons

I love using coupons. They save you money just by taking the time to review them, cut them and take them with you when you shop. I suggest sticking with coupons that are going to save you at least .50 cents. Anything less, for me, isn't worth my time and effort. Also consider if you really want that specific item or if a generic will suffice. Usually the generic is cheaper but there are some types of items where you only want the name brand. I've purchased generic peaches and found them not as fresh as the name brand. So I stick with name brand. When it comes to re-fried beans I just go with generic because I add so many other things to my re-fried beans when I cook them so it doesn't matter much on the level of quality. Also, watch out for the buy more than one coupons. If you don't use it quick enough it will spoil plus a lot of coupons are for junk food that you shouldn't be eating so much of. My favorite coupons are for haircuts and restaurants.
