Not everyone can be an Extreme Couponer, and not everyone has the time to devote 40 hours a week to using coupons. That's why Couponing for Busy People would like to show you how to use smart coupon strategies, and time saving techniques, to get great coupon deals, without making it your full time job.
We will walk you through some of the advantages of using coupons, and how to start slow. We will talk about getting comfortable with couponing, and how to avoid stress and undue pressure that using coupons may cause, when compelled to get every free deal.
We will talk about the importance of planning, and preparation, and techniques for combining coupons with promos, to maximize your savings. We will supply you with many websites and resources that do the ground work for you.
There is no point in spending your valuable time studying sales and coupons, when there are tons of websites that list weekly coupon matchups for each store. This will enable you to print your list, grab your coupons, and go. It really has never been easier.
We also go into the process of collecting and saving coupons so, that when a deal does come up, you can easily find the coupon you need to take advantage of it. We go into using coupon binders and other techniques, for quick organization and fast results. We give you resources for insert previews, Internet printable coupons, and clipping services.
Freebies and building a stockpile are also a part of our strategy, and we list many coupon websites and coupon forums, that can be used as resources. We talk about the aspects of health, and healthy and organic coupon options.
The entire point of this book is to help you save money and time, so that you can use these two valuable resources, on what matters most. We also give our optional technique for being super organized and never missing a deal.
You can save huge at drugstores, such as Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid; and we go in-depth on the best techniques to use at each of these stores, including explaining the rewards programs, coupon policies, and an included cheat sheet, for each store.
If you master the drug store technique, you can coupon at any store, and we have sections, on big box retailers, office supply stores, dollar stores, and several different grocery stores.
Being knowledgeable and organized can save you valuable resources, so you can use your energy where it matters most, and that is the entire goal of Couponing for Busy People.


Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Time and money are limited resources that everyone needs. It is my hope that by learning how to use coupons, many smart shoppers will save money, so that it can be put to use on more important things, like saving, paying down debt, or investing.

I also hope that my techniques for organizing and only getting the items that you actually want will save time and eliminate pressure and stress, which some people new to using coupons experience.

When people ask me if I know how to coupon, I like to say "I wrote the book on it". I hope you enjoy reading Couponing for Busy People and you get a lot out of it.

About the Author

Elle Marshall is a bit of a nerd when it comes to finances and saving money. She is also interested in budgeting, time management, and self-development. All of these interests combine into a wealth of knowledge about all things finance and savings related.

Using coupons was something Elle never considered, until she heard about people saving big time from using coupons. Just for the heck of it, she thought she would do an experiment to see if she could save money using coupons.

Her first couple of shopping trips she failed miserably and ended up buying items she didn't particularily need and not saving that much. She became determined to master the art of couponing.

After a month or so, she had the process down and became intent on not missing any great deals. She soon learned that the "not missing any deals" attitude can cost a lot of time and stress. Eventually, she realized that she had way to much stuff in her stockpile, when she started running out of friends and family to give it to.

She hopes that Couponing For Busy People will help smart shoppers discover techniques to maximize savings, while having a casual attitude towards the whole process. It is really best to organize in a way that allows couponing to enhance your life without it taking over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couponing For Normal People June 6, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ever since seeing Extreme Couponing for the first time, the idea of couponing was intriguing. But it's crazy how much time those people spend to get those deals. I think couponing is great, but I don't want it to be a full time job. This book is perfect for people like me. It's not about how to use coupons to food hoard on a budget. It's about using coupons to get the items you would normally buy at a discount.

The book is essentially broken down into two sections. The first section teaches you how to actually find coupons and how to keep them organized. The book has some great ideas on how to stay organized without spending a ton of time. The second section teaches you how to match coupons with sales and how to coupon stack. It also has a great summary of the coupon policies of a large number stores - most of which have locations nationwide.

In short, this book is perfect for anyone who wants to coupon but doesn't want to make it a full time job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide on Couponing June 5, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been fascinated with couponing ever since I saw a television show on the subject, and people were getting whole grocery items for free (or little cost).

This guide is targeted towards busy people (arn't we all these days) so seemed an obvious starting point to learn more about it.

It covers the basics well, and goes into more depth on the three main retailers: Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, and Rite Aid, including how you can stack coupons and use their store loyalty programs for even bigger savings and discounts.

I really liked the included cheat sheets on how to best deal with each store, and it had a good list of resources of websites that you can use to find the best deals for your area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very actionable advice! June 5, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
What I particularly like about this book is that it isn't about changing your life around to make coupon-ing work, it's about how to do it efficiently for items that you need anyway (which will save you significant amounts of money over time).

For all the necessities in life that have to be purchased, there are ways to save money on them and this ebook shows you how to do it quickly and easily. A very handy guide!
