I Don't Clip Coupons...

I remember checking out at the grocery store one day with my handful of coupons, waiting for the cashier to finish scanning my items so I could see my total start going down instead of up. There's a woman at the next register who sees me and comments to the cashier, "I don't clip coupons. It takes too much time." I simply chuckled in my head as I then commenced watching my grocery total go from over $120 down to about $50. If only she knew I didn't clip coupons either...

No, I don't clip coupons, and I personally don't even buy newspapers. Then, what kind of couponer am I? I like to think I'm the type who works smarter, not harder... and here is one way I do it: I let somebody else do it for me...

I use The Coupon Clippers (www.thecouponclippers.com).

The Coupon ClippersThe Coupon Clippers is a company that clips and sorts the coupons for me. By using their services, not only do I save time going through newspapers with a pair of scissors in hand, but I also get to order larger quantities of the coupons that I intend to use most!

Here's an example of how the pricing works. Let's say a toothpaste coupon has a face value of $.75. I might pay a handling fee of $.10 for it. It's a small price to pay for the savings, especially when the coupons get doubled or even tripled at the store - yes, that coupon that cost me $.10 could end up saving me up to $2.25! Let's say I want to stock up on toothpaste. I could spend $.30 to get three of those coupons, and now, when tripled, I can save up to $6.75 on my purchase at the store. See how the savings adds up quickly?

So why don't you give it a try? Sign up at www.thecouponclippers.com and start saving - save money, save time, AND save your fingers from potential paper cuts and newspaper ink stains!
