We’re about 48 hours away from the beginning of The Ultimate Couponing Course! I’ve spent the last couple of weeks planning out all the lessons, bonuses, and resources and it’s going to be so much fun.
I know that some of you are curious about this couponing thing, but still don’t fully believe that coupons can save money on the food that your family actually eats. Let’s chat about that.
Here are three common objections people have to couponing:
Couponing only allows you to buy junk food.
I call this “The Pop-Tart Objection.”
Yes, you can buy some pretty awesome junk food with coupons, but here’s the great part: No one requires you to purchase and consume something you don’t want to. There is room to save on most items out there with coupons and other savings strategies we cover during the course, including real food, toiletries, household items, and school supplies.
Couponing doesn’t save much money.
This is the “Selective Couponing” misconception.
Many people only cut coupons for the exact brands that they are used to buying. Clipping 3-4 coupons per week and using them on a full priced item isn’t worth your time. That’s not how we use coupons.
We use coupons strategically. We only use a coupon when we can get the name brand of a product for significantly less than the generic equivalent at WinCo or Walmart. The Ultimate Couponing Course shows you exactly how to do this.
Couponing takes too much time.
Oh, the good ole’ “It takes too much time to coupon” objection.
People remember all the work we saw our mothers putting into couponing during pre-Web age. It’s different now! The resources available on the internet (like FrugalLivingNW.com!) makes couponing so easy and efficient. If you have about 20 minutes per week to devote to getting yourself ready for your shopping, your grocery budget will start to shrink.
There is a definite method to this couponing madness and The Ultimate Couponing Course will walk you through exactly how to use coupons and other savings strategies to save you hundreds of dollars every month.
Not only will you learn everything you need to know about grocery store savings, you also get some pretty sweet bonuses:

I have learned so much through couponing!! It is a whole new mindset. It is a different way to look at everything you buy. When I need something now, almost anything, I am sure to check the coupon database to see if there is a coupon out there to match with what I need. Because of my stockpile, I rarely buy anything full price.
Just to give you an example: last weekend I visited my daughter who is 5 months pregnant. I told her we would buy her a stroller/car seat combo as our gift to them. She showed me the one she wanted at Target. I checked my Cartwheel app, and saw a 20% off any stroller deal. We headed to Target, found the one she wanted, and asked a worker to check to see if there was one in a box. We found out it was 50%!!! It was not marked. There was also a deal in store, Spend $75 on a baby registry item and get a $10 gift card. So after all was said and done, I paid $117 for a $319 stroller/car seat!! I would never have known how to put together a great deal like this without all I’ve learned from couponing and from sites like FLNW. 🙂
