Coupon Myth #4: It takes too much time

I'm not going to lie to you and say that couponing doesn't take extra time out of your week, because it does.  To use coupons effectively, there is extra time involved in organizing your new coupons for the week as well as planning out your shopping trip for the week.

I will, however, say that once you begin to understand how to coupon effectively and get yourself organized, you will probably spend roughly 2 hours a week .  That's not too bad!  Especially when you consider how much you are saving.  It isn't unrealistic to save $75-$100/week.  Do you know of any job where you can spend only 2 hours a week at it and make $75-$100?  Not too many!  The amount of time you spend on coupons each week is small compared to the money you are saving.

Also, with all the frugal blogs out there, the work of matching coupons with store sales is already done for you.  All you need to do is decide what deals you are going to get, grab the coupons you need, and go to the store!

Not convinced yet?  I would challenge you to spend any time you can find in your busy week to start couponing.  See what you can save!  With couponing, you will get out of it, the time you spend into it.  Just start and see what happens!
