The easiest way to be a cheapskate is to use coupons. There are a lot of different types, and many places to get them. And there is no stigma in using them, really! Nobody has ever made a judgemental comment to me about using a stack of coupons at the grocery store. Besides, whenever I do worry that somebody might think that I’m cheap, I hold my head high and think – “yep, my kid’s gonna be able to go to college without a bunch of student loans because I’m a cheapskate!”
There are coupons for groceries, cleaning supplies, dog food, etc. I think most everybody who has gotten a Sunday paper has seen them. But did you know that you can also get coupons for restaurants, entertainment, professional services like dry cleaning, oil changes – and even jewelry? I just got my 25% coupon from Hannah D’s (http://www.shophannahds.com/) today. My mantra is “Never pay full price for anything when you can get a discount.” A discount can be a sale, a coupon, or – my favorite – using a coupon on an item on sale!
I’ll talk about my coupon strategy in the next couple of blogs.
