September is National Coupon Month

Did you know that September is National Coupon Month? Me neither, but now we both do. I have to admit -- I used to hate clipping coupons, but as I have become more conscious of the money leaving the checkbook, I pay way more attention. I look for them before I buy something, and I hold onto them if I receive them at a store. I check local shopping websites to be sure I'm saving all I can (hint, hint). Are you doing the same?

Biggest caveat with coupons -- remember many coupons are put out there to push trial of a new product. Which is fine if you've been wanting to try the new product. Just be sure you buy things you meant to buy in the first place... things you are certain you will try and will not just sit on a shelf.

Happy clipping,
