Kristen's Koupons

Couponing can be very time consuming and confusing. I hope this blog can be a resource for those who do not have a lot of time to coupon, but still want to take advantage of the good deals each week. I am not going to post every deal that is occurring in the stores, but rather only the ones that I think are a really good deal or a deal that I am taking advantage of. Hopefully this might help you save some time from sorting through all of the deals to find the really good ones. :-)

Tip of the Day

I find it sometimes difficult to know whether something is a really good deal or not. So, what I found that helps me is to think of how much I would be willing to pay for an item or what I would normally pay for it whether it was brand name or off brand. Then I subtract 50% - 75% off of that amount to see whether the sale with the coupon is a good deal. I like to shoot for 50% off of items that I usually buy and 75% off for items that I would only buy if they are a really good deal.

I like this tip. That helps me figure out what I should be stocking up on and what not to.
