SEND for those cash refunds on a regular basis. This week I received a letter asking for more specific information regarding couponing and refunding from a reader who is just getting started. My first advice would be to become actively involved with other couponers and refunders. Their experiences will be of immeasurable value and give moral support.

You must organize them and do your purchasing with them foremost in( your mind. You must learn to plan your meals and, in reality, all your shopping around the use of coupons and with refund offers as your reason for buying many products. ; At first this means quite a change in your shopping habits. You can no longer run to the store for items. You our buying dollar is a must for most of us. We, as consumers, have come to the conclusion that since the dollar has been reduced in value, we must get the utmost value out of what is left. the The result is that the housewife At first many couponers and refunders become discouraged before person who usually spends that dollar they ever get started.

Ive done some very specific things to written about it and people from all walks of life are utilizing this means of accomplish this. One is that I keep my profiting from these items that have couponing and refunding money been available for years. separate from our other funds. To make things easy, lets say you I remember when the Shirley Temple mugs were offered to the public back in spend one hundred dollars every two the forties.

Out of necessity, because of the high items. In other words, you have one consumer costs, getting the most for hundred dollars of capital to work with. With that money, you make a list of products you will need to buy at the prices charged at the supermarket. If you have been saving coupons, lets say you have cents off coupons totaling ten dollars for items on your list. You can readily see that on this one shopping trip alone you can buy one hundred dollars worth of merchandise for ninety dollars. If you have refund offers totaling twenty dollars applicable to these products, you have then purchased one hundred dollars of products for seventy dollars. This means that the next time you shop you will only have to budget seventy dollars instead of one hundred because you have saved thirty the two weeks before. Thanks again for the many letters of encouragement for this article. Please keep them coming. They are an invaluable source of specific problems you as readers are having with the system. must organize your shopping with definite products in mind and with a reason other than immediate need, for buying a specific product.
