This economy sucks. Nobody has any money anymore. There are millions unemployed. Gas went up almost a dollar last week alone!
We need to find some new ways to save money. Or, we can look at old ways to save money and really outdo it this time.
Coupons have always been around. Check out this funny video of Ellen using a coupon in the Wild West days for a pair of jeans.
So are we supposed to reinvent the wheel? No. Just try and get some high cost items for a lot cheaper to save some money. If you can't make an extra $10,000 a year, spending $10,000 a year is just as good. Actually it's better because you have to pay less taxes!
Oil Changes
You can't avoid the oil change. Every 3,000 miles you have to get one. If you don't, your car breaks down. Then that costs you a lot more money. Oil changes usually cost around $30-$50 without a coupon. Get an oil change coupon to get that price under $20. That means you can save up to $30 per oil change. If you get 4 oil changes a year, that is $120 savings!
Furniture
If you need furniture then you'll realize that you're probably going to spend a lot to get a new bedroom set or couch. While most furniture stores don't have coupons, you can find them. Look around the holidays and you'll find some great deals. Also, sign up for Groupon because they have furniture coupons all of the time.
Suits
Never buy just one suit. You can almost always find a local suit shop that offers specials on suits where you can buy 2 suits for less than the price of one at a store like Macy's.
Groceries
You can find your grocery coupons online now. Instead of looking through your Sunday paper in an unorganized fashion, look for printable coupons online. You can search for the exact items that you usually shop for and print them out. It is the most convenient way to shop for your groceries and save money nowadays.
