All of us at some point likely had skepticism about using coupons. In the beginning when you hear that someone spent $2 on $50 in products, you’re bound to wonder “Is this really possible?”. Its hard to grasp and difficult to think that a normal person can use a coupon and get a wonderful deal.
Over the next 2 weeks, I’m going to go through a series of myths that newbies might have preconceived notions about when it comes to using coupons.
Today’s myth is:
| Store brands are cheaper than brand names with a coupon. |
Am I right? Isn’t this the first thing that someone just starting out might say? In fact, this is exactly what I said before I started using coupons.
Well, this is in fact- a MYTH! The fact is, I could go to Walmart and get the Great Value brand chocolate syrup sauce for lets say $1.39. However, with a coupon I could get the Hershey syrup for just $.75 at Publix!
The truth is in most cases, you can get a better deal with a coupon and a brand name over a store brand. The key is to combining that coupon with a sale or drug store reward rather than just taking your coupon to Walmart right off the bat. Not only will you pay less, but you’’ll also get a name brand product.
Therefore- this myth is BUSTED!
