Couponing


In the past couple years, the economy has started to plummet and people are either not making the same amount of money that they were or aren't making any money at all because there aren't any jobs out there for them. Due to this, people have been trying to cut back but most people just don’t know where to find the right utilities. Well, there are two main sites that I know about off the top of my head that both my mom and I use. The first one is called Groupon.com. This site isn't like any other that you've seen. One person to review it said, " i love this website! it's such a great concept and i look forward to seeing what the daily deal is everyday" (http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.groupon.com). What you do is you sign up for your free account and that automatically gives you 10 free Groupon dollars to use. Then, what you do is you look at what they have going on for great deals and you pretty much buy gift certificates for much cheaper than you actually would in the store or restaurant. For example, there is a go kart place in Dudley and there is a coupon on there that you only have to pay $20 for $40 worth of entertainment. There are so many more great deals from vacationing to spa days to just regular shopping. Another great site to go onto is Couponsuzy.com. This site has many, many, many different coupons for you to choose from. And that is all it is. It’s like a huge online catalog for coupons that are all free for you to take! You just pick which section you’d like to look in or look at all of them at once. Then, you check off which coupons you would actually use or think you would use and at the end, you can print them all off. It’s a great website especially for those who don’t get the newspaper, like us college students. We can go look for coupons online instead of searching through the newspaper and trying to find which one you really want and then trying to cut it out but worrying if there’s another one on the other side that you would also like but don’t want to cut in half. This just solves all of your troubles and makes it easier. These are two helpful tips on what you can do to save money.

  1. Lindsey,

    I liked your post because i've heard so much about groupon.com and I still haven't checked it out yet. After reading your post I want to go on the website because i'm all about saving money in any way that I can! My friend was actually just telling me the other day that she found a coupon for a Real Estate course that lasted a few weeks and she got a great deal on it. She told me that if it wasn't for the coupon that she had found on the website she never would have even taken the course because it was to much money! Now, she only has one class left before she is Real Estate certified all because of this coupon that she found that allowed her to afford the class. I definitely need to check out the website because i've heard so many great things about it. Loved your post!
