How to coupon effectively? To figure out the best way how to use coupons, we need to ask ourselves what our priorities

are. We need to ask ourselves what is our time worth. For example, if you have a family of 8 to feed, and you would, without the coupons, be spending $1,600 a month on groceries, and you end up getting just about everything you buy for naught, then you are effectively making $1,600 a month or, perhaps, including taxes, $2,500 a month.

Saving money with coupons in this way is the equivalent of making about $20,000 to $30,000 a year in a job. Quite a decent payout considering that you never have to commute to a job, and respond to the whims of a boss that you may not like, and play corporate politics.

But is the picture really that simple? That is where you need to ask yourself, is saving money really everything you are after? What about maintaining your health and general well-being?
