Printing My Own (Coupon) Money

I'm currently taking a short break from meal planning/grocery list making/couponing. While I was doing this planning I printed some coupons from a manufacturer's website (2 $1 off coupons) and I thought to myself, "I'm printing money!" It made me laugh, but it's kinda true. I went through all the coupons I had for this particular item, which is on sale at my grocery store for $1.97. When my binder came up a loser, I decided to look on coupons.com. Nope, nothing there either. Then I Googled it. And there it was. Right there on the manufacturer's brand website! That means I'll get my item (usually priced somewhere in the $2.50-$3 range) for $.97 each! Happy day!!

The moral of the story here is the following: always search for a coupon. Just because it isn't in your physical arsenal doesn't mean it isn't out there. Doing that tiny bit of research could keep money in your bank account rather than the grocery store's.
