Did you know that a billion dollars worth of savings are sent out every year in coupons and only about 1% of them ever get used? Most of us have gotten into the habit of ignoring coupons completely, even for items we buy all the time. These days most coupons can be used at any store, giving you even greater access to savings, as you don't have to make trips to numerous stores.

1. Pay attention to coupons and clip ones you can use at the stores that you frequent. You'll definitely find coupons that appeal to you.
   
   
2. Paper clip coupons to your shopping list so you don't forget about them.
   
   
3. Don't use coupons for the sake of using them. This means, only use coupons on items you normally buy. Otherwise, you'll likely end up spending more money than saving money.
   
   
4. Don't be afraid to contact companies by mail or phone to ask for coupons. Most companies will be more than happy to send them if you tell them you're a frequent user of their products.
