Clip Tip
Couponing is a way of life. Your savings doesn’t have to come just from your grocery. Clothing stores, home improvement stores and arts and crafts stores (along with most other retailers) offer great discounts and coupons that you can use to purchase merchandise. If you frequently shop at a particular store, make sure and join their rewards program or sign up for their newsletters. This will give you extra coupons or discounts that you may not be getting now. Also, if you have a smart phone, make sure and check out the free app Coupon Sherpa. This app lets you search stores by name and get coupons right to your phone.
