Is Using Coupons Worth It?

Coupons

One of the biggest questions I hear when talking about extreme couponing is, “Is extreme couponing worth it?”. Of course extreme couponing is worth it if you have the time to set aside and go through all the deals and look over everything. To be truthful, i’m always looking at deals or hunting for the next best deal but I mainly will do my most extreme coupon looking Thursday morning. Funny, right? Considering the coupons will come out on Sunday morning in your newspaper or you can find the early release Thursday evening. This will include the usual PG inserts.

Online or in-person shopping?

To be truthful… in-person shopping is always better because you can choose between the quality of the package, quantity, and you will get the full rewards or benefits. Also, get a great workout in like I do wandering up and down aisles too nervous to ask where their toothbrushes are located.

Another benefit of in-person shopping is being able to scan your receipt afterward to hopefully get some more extra rewards or maybe get $1.00 back on your toothbrush making it now free!

How to get the best deal

To maximize your savings the best way to go about it is by already having the item on sale. Next would be to match up with a digital or physical coupon. The third is for the item to match a rebate app like Fetch, or Ibotta. These three things can easily help you maximize your savings. Ibotta tells you some times are free after purchase!
