The Tightwad

With today’s economy, it is even more important to save money where you can.  Saving on groceries is a way that you can accomplish this.  Coupons are a great way to save on groceries.  You get the biggest savings from coupons when you have multiple coupons and using them against a sale.  Getting multiple coupons can be tough sometimes.  One way to do this would be to start a Coupon Club.  A Coupon Club is where you get together with others and trade coupons.  A local library is a good place to set something like this up.  Many libraries will let you use their community rooms for this type of purpose.  Many libraries will also let you put up flyers so you can advertise for your Coupon Club.  You need to think up the rules in advance and post that on the flyer.  Some examples may be have the coupons already cut out, what type of coupons will be allowed and how will you go about the exchange.   Another place you could do this is in your own neighborhood if you live in a safe area.  You could hand out flyers to some of your neighbors and invite them over for coffee and couponing.   Just make sure you keep yourself safe and don’t invite complete strangers to your house.
