How do you say it? Q-pon or KOO-pon? Webster's says either is correct.
Which ever way, using them saves $ and encourages competition between retailers. Some stores accept coupons from competitors. Most come with limited dates. I don't think using them because they are expiring should be the number one factor. Use them because you were planning the purchase anyway.
Another thing to keep in mind. You probably paid for the coupon. Either you purchased the newspaper or magazine or you spent your time and paper to print the coupon off the internet.
Which ever way. Q-pon or KOO-pon. Just use them wisely. Develop your own storage of them. I have a coupon wallet with divisions for paper products, dairy, cleaning, sauces, etc. I spend time about once a month going through each category and discarding the out of date coupons.
Bob is my coupon clipper. I file them. Together we remember to carry the wallet with us to the grocery store.
Keep clipping.
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
