5 Reasons to Join a Coupon Group

A few nights ago, I attended my first Coupon Social. It is a monthly event that is part of the Coupon Group I belong to. It was a great experience. I suggest anyone who uses coupons to attend one. I found the group, The Collin County Couponers on Meet Up . If you don’t know, Meet Up is an awesome website for groups of people with similar interests to connect online and “meet up” in person to share their passions. This particular group meets once a month, usually at the library or someone’s home. Everyone brings their coupons and some to share. The organizers (who are hardcore couponers) share their coupon knowledge with everyone. There was even a drawing for a Kroger gift card {I didn’t win}. It was a lot of fun and very informative. So, if you love coupons like I do, here are five reasons to join a coupon group:

1. To meet other people who share the love of couponing. Nobody I know (in person) is into coupons quite like me. It was a breath of fresh air to know I’m not the only crazy one.

2. To put your unwanted coupons to good use. I hate having to throw away coupons just because I won’t use them. It’s like tossing money in the trash.  It is refreshing to have people to give my unwanted coupons to.

3. To get coupons to add to your collection. I was able to score some great coupons that others didn’t want. I think I left with 10 $1.50 off 1 coupons for the new Bounce Dryer Bar that I just LOVE.

4. To learn organizing and other helpful coupon tips. I am still struggling with finding the best way to organize my coupons. My system has improved significantly since I first started but still needs work. This is a great opportunity to learn from the pros and other newbies too.

5. To learn other tips for saving (and making) money. Most people who are serious couponers are serious about their money in general. They know tricks for earning some extra cash, getting free house parties, and how to get full size samples of name brand products for free (more to come on all of that…). I even learned that you CAN freeze milk.

Check Meet Up for groups in your area or start one of your own if you are so daring…
