Money Saving Tip-Don’t Throw Them Away
Do you use coupons? If the answer is no then you’re literally throwing money away. Years ago you had to search through newspapers, magazines, and flyers to find coupons but now you can find them online and through doing a Google search. Type in what you want to buy and add the word ‘coupon’ and sometimes you’ll find some great deals on everything from clothing to furniture. And, of course, don’t overlook printed press because supermarkets and drugstores still provide plenty of print coupons too.
