Saving money with coupons is easier than you may think

Do you find coupons a hassle? Or too much work? Or too much time? Not worth the effort? Maybe you are afraid of funny looks from cashiers? Or agitated people behind you in line? 

All are reasonable excuses. However, when I look at my grocery bill go from $400 to LESS than $200...I really think it is worth the effort, the cashier is getting paid to do this job and the people can get in a different line! I just save over 50% on my shopping order. 

Guess what - you can too! This is no gimmick or money making scheme. Join a local group of couponer who are just a bunch of ladies sharing their experience, thoughts, ideas and finds. Plus we provide FREE coupons of your choice to ALL attendees.

Margaret Carey started this group in January. Her goal is to help people save money by taking advantage of the coupons manufactures provide in conjunction with store. She saves between 50-75% on her grocery bills.This group of “realistic” couponers believes that you don't have to be extreme to save money.

Last month one of attendees saved over $150 on her grocery bill!  Kim explains, “I’ve begun to stockpile items that I use frequently. My kids are helping with the process and learning the value of couponing.”

Our next meeting is May 20th 10 - 11:30 am at Studio Around the Corner 67 Main St. Brewster. New and experienced couponers are welcomed. Find out more at www.southeastsavers.com or call 845.363.8330.
