To coupon or not to coupon?  For me, I’ve been leaning towards the “not to coupon,” for the past few years.  Coupons are great to save some money while shopping.  I still use coupons when I see them on the shelf while shopping at my favorite retailer so I can’t go around saying I never use them. They are there at my convenience.  I’ll share my reasons why I choose not to coupon at the end.  In the meantime check out the reasons these others do not coupon.

coupon – noun: A voucher entitling the holder to a discount off a particular product.  A detachable portion of a bond that is given up in return for a payment of interest.

Why don’t I coupon?

3. Coupons just aren’t available for what I’m buying
