I have seen people using very good coupons, getting expensive items free with one coupon and no store match. No hassle of finding the right store and going on the right day and everything else. They have a coupon for about $8.00 off the item that cost $7.99. They tell me that it is through a coupon subscription and they receive monthly coupons upon paid subscription. Has anyone tried this? Is it worth it?
I only pay for coupons in the sense that I pay for 2 Sunday papers each week. I would never do a coupon subscription service. I'm sure that most of the coupons delivered are readily available elsewhere. Seriously the two best places for coupons are the Sunday paper inserts and the Internet. In my town there are several places where people leave coupons they do not want, so that is also a source of free coupons (our libraries and a few CVS's have baskets full). For the most part, most of the subscription coupon services I've seen don't offer enough "awesome" coupons to make payment worth it (like, I'd never recoup my spending in savings, and it wouldn't even be a wash). Coupons[dot]com, for example, has a premium "Savings Club" which has a few more coupons and many are of higher values. If you shop in grocery stores that double coupons under $0.99 every day, you know that a $0.75/1 coupon is actually more valuable than a $1. Another great source for coupons is "All You" magazine, which very often advertises subscriptions for $5 a year. There are tons of coupons in there and it is less than a dollar a month.
I love to use my coupons cause they help me save when grocery shopping , they have a app now that you can download to your phone let the cashier put in the code or scan the bar code on your phone. I use my coupons at the movie theater to get drinks and popcorn its works the same way just by letting the cashier scan the code on my phone.
