Coupon Fraud: When is it Okay?
Monday, March 29th, 2010There has been a lot of buzz in the past year about bloggers promoting printable coupons (and specifically printable grocery coupons) and there should be: these coupons help you stay within your budget while still getting the things you want and need.
Every successful blogger that I’ve seen who writes about couponing is not only extremely smart, but also extremely savvy. They know that there are a couple of things you can do to “cheat the system”, but they don’t promote them.
Why not? Well, beyond the legal issues (after all, fraud IS illegal), there are a few more:
1. Coupon Fraud hurts your local grocery store. I know you may be thinking that the grocery store you go to most frequently is a big chain, but even small instances of theft (because technically, that’s what this is) do add up. They lose money because the coupon providers won’t accept the coupon they’ve sent in… even though it may have scanned when you were at the register. And if you do shop at a locally-owned store, you’re hurting people you know and damaging their livelihood.
2. Coupon Fraud hurts your neighbors… and you! Sure, you’re getting a good deal, but the money that the grocery store just lost has to come from somewhere. So, prices go up, amenities go down and the overall environment will decrease in quality. Plus, jobs could be cut to make up for the loss in revenue. I know it sounds extreme to you – and that just your actions can’t do all this – but it adds up fast if we don’t all hold ourselves accountable.
3. The couponing community loses respect. I’ve heard some horror stories about shoppers getting berated by cashiers when they use coupons and, while I’ve never experienced it personally, a lot of the anger comes from people thinking that the couponer is “cheating” to save money. Those of us who aren’t doing anything wrong get punished for crimes they didn’t commit, making it harder and harder to convince people of the great benefits of coupons!
Ultimately, you need to come to your own decision on this one… after all, it’s your conscience and while it may be a short-term benefit to your wallet, the long-term effects can be extremely destructive. Don’t believe me? Here’s what Crystal over at MoneySavingMom.com said last year about copying coupons:
Unless a coupon is a PDF hosted on the manufacturer’s website, it is *ALWAYS* unethical and illegal to copy a coupon.
Each of these coupons has a unique barcode and the store will only be reimbursed for coupons with a unique barcode. So if you copy them, the store will not be reimbursed and you will also be committing coupon fraud.
Not only could this get you into serious trouble, but this also means that stores will be less likely to accept internet printed coupons–which is the last thing any of us want.
Happy Shopping!
Koupon Karen: Where Can You Find Coupons?
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Koupon Karen is back one final time to tell you about coupons. They are the most important thing when it comes to shopping!!
Coupons can save you money, there are no two ways about it. But it can also be time consuming to gather everything you need. I try to make it easy for my readers by telling them what coupons to use. But what is really helpful is knowing where to find them and then having them on hand. You can find coupons in so many places so you should always have your eye’s open.
So where should you be looking?? Here are some places I like to get my coupons from:
ShopAtHome.com’s Thrifty Chatter with Nicole’s Nickels
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Welcome to this week’s Thrifty Chatter series, where we ask the fun questions to some of our favorite Money Saving Bloggers! This week, we’re interviewing Nicole from Nicole’s Nickels. This fabulous blogger shares the best deals, giveaways and so much more with her readers every day… and now you can learn a little bit more about the woman behind the blog!
How did you start Nicole’s Nickels?
I started Nicole’s Nickels in February 2009 as a way to consolidate all of the great deals I was finding into one place. I was previously emailing friends and family everything but it got hard to keep track of who was interested in what.
What has been the most rewarding part of writing on Nicole’s Nickels?
The most rewarding part are the emails and comments I receive from readers telling me that something I posted helped them save money or make some extra money and how that impacted their life.
Do you have a funny or interesting story about something that has happened because of your blog?
I was at the store one day and had a fistful of coupons. I had been recently featured on my local NBC affiliate just a few days before. My back was to the person behind me and seeing my coupons and how much I was saving, said to the person with her, “That girl is just like that Nicole’s Nickels from TV using all those coupons to save money. I went to her site and now am addicted to it. She seems like such a nice and genuine person.” I turned around to smile and the lady said “It’s you, it’s you!” and gave me a big hug thanking me for helping her.
How have you used ShopAtHome.com to save money, and what is your favorite store to shop from when you use ShopAtHome.com?
Yes, I regularly use ShopAtHome and loved being able to get 20% cash back from Old Navy over the holidays. I had giftcards to use and was able to get a lot of holiday shopping done as well as a few things for myself for a very low cost.
What do you think is the best deal you’ve ever found?
For me personally, I’ve had the best deals at Kmart’s super doubles events where I can get something crazy like 50 items for less than a quarter. I stock up on necessities and also things to donate to my local shelters.
If you could only give one piece of advice to someone who is just starting to coupon and save their money, what would it be?
Start slow. You won’t be able to stockpile right away, it takes time to build up to that. Make it a point to use coupons on sale items and look through matchups on your favorite frugal blogs. Try picking one of the drugstores near you and following a posted scenario on your favorite blog to make the most of their rewards programs.
Any last comments?
If you’re new, try finding a friend to start with. You’ll learn from each other and hopefully have fun while saving money!

Five Tips to Help You Save Money in March!
Monday, March 1st, 2010
While March is a great time for so many wonderful things (St. Patrick’s Day, the first official day of Spring and a multitude of fabulous moments), it’s also another chance to start your new shopping lifestyle! Here are a couple of tips to really make a difference this month:
1. Create a budget: if you know where all of your money is going, you’ll be less likely to spend beyond your means. There are great sites that offer budgeting tools… one of my favorites is Dave Ramsey’s Gazelle Budget, but Mint.com offers a fabulous one, too. Lay everything out on paper and stick to it. You may have to tweak a couple of things in April, but you’ll have a good starting point!
2. Start clipping coupons: By preparing your budget beforehand, you’ll know how much money you can spend on groceries. My tip? Challenge yourself! Set your grocery spending to less than you normally pay, and head over to ShopAtHome.com’s Printable Grocery Coupons page. There you’ll find a large collection (usually over 800) unique grocery coupons! You can print two of each per computer, so if there’s a must-have item available, grab two and stock up at a great price.
3. Don’t be too hard on yourself! If you’ve never done a budget before, it’s not an easy thing to jump into. Take your time and wean yourself into it. It’s better to have a slow start and stick with it than jump in headfirst and get overwhelmed!
4. Get the family involved: Have kids? Let them know what you’re trying to do and get them to participate, whether you have them help you clip coupons or set up a chore chart with financial goals. Married? Sit down with your spouse and create your budget together; if you’re on the same page financially, you’ll be more likely to hold each other accountable.
5. Ask for help if you need it: Whether you need an accountability partner, or just want some extra tips on how to increase your saving momentum, there are so many places that you can find a helpful hand! Whether it’s your spouse or roommate, a coworker or close friend, having someone to lean on when you want to buy something silly will help you out immensely.
Have any other great tips for sticking to a savings plan? Share them in the comments, especially if you’ve written a post about the same topic!
