Maximize your savings!

The recent introduction of television shows showing everyday people using Target coupons to save them hundreds of dollars on their everyday purchases has influenced a huge new trend in the couponing world, but are there other ways for us to save money?

One of my most favorite money saving tricks is taking the two minutes to complete online surveys found on the bottom of shopping receipts. Many receipts you get after you make a purchase offer you up to $10.00 OFF a $30.00 purchase in return for taking the time to tell them how their employees served you while you were shopping. That’s an instant 33% in savings on a purchase.

So many consumers have the misconception that couponing is an impossible task that requires hours of clipping and planning. However, if you can organize yourself well, you too can save hundreds of dollars each year on household items by purchasing Target coupons from a coupon store! The first thing you need accept if you want to begin couponing is that planning ahead is key. You can’t be doing things spur of the moment in couponing, you need to plan ahead and be organized. So you can’t run to the grocery store at 4pm to grab dinner for that evening and expect to actually save money.

I like to shop at stores that offer customer rewards. These programs are designed to reward you for all the money you have already spent within the company. These rewards many times come in the form of free groceries or even money to spend within the store on your next purchase. Stores are not the only ones who offer their customers rewards perks, some banks and credit card companies offer cash back programs that give you money for spending money.

Aside from Target Coupons, try purchasing household items when they’re on sale. Laundry detergent and toilet paper are prime examples. A couple times a month retailers will list these products on sale for less then half of what they usually retail for. That means you can purchase more to hold you over until the next sale, or just purchase what you need and still save a lot of money you would of otherwise had to spend on household needs.

Set up an automatic savings account through your bank. Choosing to set aside $25.0 a week really isn’t that much, especially when you don’t need to think about putting that money aside to save. If you set up an automatic withdrawal into a separate account, the money moves and you have carefree savings!

Saving all this extra money can really help us fatten up our bank accounts for a rainy day or unexpected expenses… like a tropical vacation!
