Did you know that September is National Coupon Month? I'll take any reason to celebrate the great fun I've had saving money lately~ really no cake or candles needed.

It always amazes me though, the interesting sentiments folks have about coupons in general. I read this last week that manufacturers spend something like 360 billion dollars in coupons each year, yet we consumers only redeem about 2.6 billion of what is allotted by those companies. Now call me crazy, but I ain't no fool- money is money to me, even if it comes in the form of a printed coupon. I think it's crazy that people don't save a little money here and there. I think most people think that they won't save that much or that they don't have the time. I guess I just make time since I know the tremendous benefits coupons have provided.

That's why I wrote the post I'm not ashamed to save. I've just decided that clipping coupons is worth the time and effort for me (at least right now). Well, without further ado... Happy Coupon Month to you!
