Coupon Myth #5: You end up spending more money using coupons.

Some think that since most of the coupons out there are for name brand products or the most expensive products, they would be spending more money using the coupons than not.

This can happen, but only if you let it.  If you don't wait to use your coupons when matched with a sale, getting a great deal, this could easily be the case.  My point, again, is make coupons work for you...not the other way around.  Coupons can be an awesome tool to help you save lots of money, when you know how and when to use them.

Remember, you don't need to get every deal that is out there.  When you are starting out, that can be very tempting, but it is a very good idea to have a budget.  I plan to talk about meal planning and budgeting sometime in the future as well.  I really believe these two things play a key role when saving money on your grocery budget.

So, be smart about how you use your coupons.  You don't have to use every coupon you have.  Use them to get the awesome deals that are out there!
