Having the whole family involved in couponing is very important. Your family members may not be as

enthusiastic about couponing as you in the beginning, but there are ways you can change it. Couponing is all

about commitment and consistency and having your family involved makes it a lot easier.

Pleasing all your family members and saving money is quite a feast. They might grumble at first because

they are missing out on their favorite snacks or meals, but they will come around. Shopping with coupons is not easy and it changes the way you shop, which is way not everyone does it. Here are a few ideas on how to get your family excited and involved with

couponing.

You need to sit down and have a conversation with

your spouse and children about money, and the way

you are going to try and save money by using coupons.

Children (and husbands) need to understand that in an

effort to save money, they are not going to be getting

everything that they are used to. If the family as a

unit is aware of the financial implications they will be

more willing to make sacrifices where ever needed.

Setting a budget for your monthly grocery budget

is a good step. Once the budget has been set, you

can then look at how you might be able to slip in

a few of the items that your family has sacrificed.

A good idea is to set aside a little money each

week for special items.

The more fun you make couponing, the more your family

will participate. Making a reward is a great way to get the

family involved. Agree to use the money you save every

month by couponing on a family vacation, or something you

have always wanted as a family but could never afford.

If you have young children, make clipping and sorting

coupons a fun activity that you can do together. Older

children can help you search for coupons and special deals

online; they can help with the shopping lists and even help

you start up your stockpile.

If you are working towards a special reward with

the money you are saving, make an effort to keep

your family updated on the progress. Making a

chart is one way of doing this. Staying

enthusiastic about the project and talking about it

often will keep it real in their minds.

Using coupons is going to expose you to a lot of

new products as those are the ones that most

often get promoted by both the stores and the

manufacturer. Giving up your favorite brand is

hard, but agree to try another brand at least

once. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it

again.

Decide as a family on what products you are

willing to save on (using coupons and sales) and

what products you simply cannot live without.

Save money on the products that you are not so

fussy about, like toothpaste and laundry

detergent.

If you care about saving money, and your

family is on board, there is no limit to how

much on your monthly

grocery bill.
