As I've encountered more people who are just discovering couponing I think it's great to hear the reasons why they haven't really taken to the idea of using coupons to save money. A very common one is that "coupons are mostly for packaged & processed products that I don't eat" or in other words "there are no coupons for the things I do use." While I used to sometimes think this to myself, I've been surprised many times at some of the coupons that I find for things like bread, canned pineapple, or even tomatoes, not to mention to countless coupons I use to buy toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, make-up, diapers, etc. If I'm going to be buying these products anyways why not save a buck (or two) on them?
While I was planning on writing about this topic myself I actually just read a great article by Bargain Briana called "No Coupons For Products I Use" which I recommend reading.
When you're first starting out collecting coupons it can seem like some week it'll be lots of coupons for medicine/pharmacy type products, or lots of pizza coupons but after a few weeks your collection will start to fill out and you'll be surprised at what you find. So go get clipping!
