Buying coupons from coupon clipping services

Buying coupons from a coupon clipping service is a great way to get coupons. Many people I have told this to just don't understand WHY you would pay money for coupons when you are trying to *SAVE* money. Here is why I choose to buy from coupon clipping services:

A lot of times certain coupons will come out for something that my family uses a lot of. I only buy 2-4 papers so I can only have a couple of those coupons....but my goal is to stock up on those items. (Enough to last 3-6 months or longer if it is something that won't go bad.) So, I can get on my favorite coupon clipping site CouponsThingsbyDeDe.com and order as many of those coupons as I want. Depending on the coupon prices vary from $0.08 to $0.50 each. The $0.50 coupons are usually so high because with that coupon you can get the item for free. So, you pay pennies for coupons and get great savings!

Here is an example: Recently a coupon for $1/1 McCormick Spice, Herb, Extract or food coloring came out. Their Taco Seasoning is only $0.52 at Walmart therefore with the $1/1 coupon I got it for free PLUS got overage! I bought Taco Seasoning 20 packets at a time and actually made $10 and got the product for free. So, even after I deducted what I paid for the coupons I still came out ahead. Make sense?

Here is a list of my favorite coupon clipping sites for anyone interested:

***Technically you are not paying FOR the coupons, you are paying for the time it took them to clip, sort and send you the coupons***
