The Skinny On Coupon Clipping Services

I'll start this off with my favorite top two coupon clipping websites .. I use them every week because they offer additional advantages over just finding printable coupons.

The Advantages Of Coupon Clipping Services

All my time cannot be spent maximizing savings on the grocery bill each week. I also have to spend it trying to earn more money than I do now, among other things.

My time is the most valuable resources I have, so thinking about it in terms of frugality and simplicity, while squeezing the most value out of it makes sense.

Frugal time management will keep couponing from becoming an extreme obsession:) and ending up being burnt out and giving up on the whole idea.

Advantage #2 Less Waste
Eliminating waste is one of first steps to becoming more frugal. When I see it, it gets under my skin. Clipping services allow you to choose coupons that you will actually make use of. A poor tree is now an expired and unused coupon, but it's not lying around in the bottom of my organized coupon drawer.

And I'm saving ink when I'm not printing a coupon.

Advantage #3 - Stockpiling
I order my packet of coupons from a clipping service for the things I always need on hand. A stockpile doesn't have to be large, but the idea is to never run out. I plan my grocery list accordingly and am often able to stack coupons on top of in-store coupons to increase my savings on the things I always need.

My Two Favorite Coupon Clipping Services

These are my two favorite clipping services but, don't be shy about asking questions or offering your ideas and tips.

Any tips for living on less or living more simply are always welcomed here. What's your favorite coupon clipping services?

Coupons By Dede

• The Advantage of Setting Up an Account It's very easy and quick to do. The advantage is you won't have to re-enter all of your information each time you order coupons.



• Minimum Quantity of Duplicate Coupons You don't have to buy multiples of duplicate coupons if you don't want to. Although they prefer you order duplicates because of the amount of time it takes to put together an order, it's not a requirement at this time.

This is great for someone just beginning!

• Maximum Quantities of Duplicate Coupons You can order as many as you like of any one coupon up to ten total, However there is a seven day waiting period restriction for the same coupon that you have reached the maximum limit of ten.
• Minimum Dollar Amount Per Order It's $5.00 which also includes the basic shipping charge of $.94
• User Friendliness! Coupons By Dede has an easy to navigate data base of coupons and searching for just the right coupons you need is easy.
• Reward Programs! They offer a rewards and discount program. Orders over $25 get a 10% discount and every order of coupons will also accumulate points (400 POINTS = $1) which can be used on future purchases.

Note:Dede also allows you to stack accumulated points on top of a quantity discounts to maximize your savings on their coupon clipping services!

• Payment Methods Paypal, credit and debit cards as well as checks or money orders, but this will delay receipt of order.
• Shipping Times It has generally taken my order 2-3 days to arrive. They are located in Texas so your order could take less or more time to arrive depending on where you live.

Coupons By Dede is my first choice for all the reasons listed above.

The Coupon Clippers

This is my second choice and here's why. There are a few minor drawbacks, but not enough to not recommend them!

• Advantage of Setting Up an Account It's fast and easy! And you don't have to re-enter your financial information again .. just to pay.

• Minimum Dollar Amount Per Order is only $3.00 plus shipping charge of $.94. which I liked!
• Navigation Is pretty easy and user friendly.
• Minimum Quantity of Duplicate Coupons The Coupon Clippers require a minimum of five. If you are a beginner it's nice to have the freedom to order just one until you get your feet wet.

• Maximum Quantity of Duplicate Coupons The maximum of duplicate coupons is also 10 per order, but they do not have a 7 day restriction on reorders. This would be an advantage if you become obsessed and an extreme couponer:)
• Rewards and Discount Program There is no incentive program in place! Bummer!!!
• Payment Methods PayPal, credit and debit cards as well as checks.
• Shipping Times They are located in Florida, My personal experience has also been 2-3 days, but could take longer depending on where you live.

Using one of these services is a great way to "stockpile" your inventory of coupons along with other methods such as buying the Sunday paper and printable coupon websites.

Try out a coupon clipping service if your time is important to you. I highly recommend it!
