Couponing Saves You Time
One of our favorite ways, here at True Blue Coupons, to evaluate whether a money-saving idea or technique is worth your time is to evaluate it in terms of an hourly wage. For instance, if it saves your family $30-$50 and requires an hour’s worth of work, it is totally worth YOUR time. Coupons are worth your time because when you put in an hour’s worth of time, you are usually saving $40-$75 for doing so. That sounds like a pretty good hourly wage to us!
If you're not among the 94 percent of Americans who use coupons when they shop at the supermarket, drug store, or department store, you're throwing money away. Americans still are using coupons, and in GREATER quantities. In fact, there has been a huge recent spike in usage, especially with sites like this one, allowing for almost instantenous results and savings and far easier than clipping the old-fashioned way.
In 2010, U.S. consumers spent an average of just 10 minutes per week clipping and organizing coupons, but reaped a whopping $3.7 million for their efforts, or approximately $416 per family per year. By doubling the time invested weekly to just 20 minutes, the average shopper could save as much as $1,000. Not too bad, eh?
