Who Pays When I Use Coupons?

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Jessica

If you are getting all this stuff for free then who are you ripping off? Are you putting the stores out of business? Who are you stealing from?

I get these questions all the time. The easy answer is, “I’m not ripping anyone off and everyone wins! As long as I use coupons the way the manufacturer intends EVERYONE WINS!!!”

The fine print on the bottom of many coupons state, “(the manufacturer) will reimburse the face value of this coupon, plus $0.08.” This means that when I go into a store and use 10 – $1.50 off 1 item coupons when buying 10 items the store will be reimbursed $1.58 for EACH coupon. So the store is making MORE money than if I were to pay full price!

It is the manufacture that “eats” the cost of the coupon but here are some very interesting thoughts…. Continue reading →

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Jessica

I watched as the coupon bloggers rose in popularity. It was fascinating to me, watching the posts roll by at the tune of 5-20 posts per day. My first reaction was “this is wonderful!!!” I don’t have to use my resources and they do everything for me.

No don’t get me wrong, I still look at the blogs.

They tell me what I am NOT going to buy. Yes! You read that right!

When a deal gets posted on the blogs the shelves get wiped out, QUICKLY. I am not saying that I never have issues finding stock but Continue reading →

Money Maniac becomes the SMART Couponing System

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Jessica

I started my couponing journey about four years ago. Then after a year of learning for myself and a year of teaching others in a classroom setting, I knew that I had to tell more people about what I had learned but I was only able to reach so many people in a classroom. And my vision was so much larger than my small corner of the world!

My business partner was my best friend and mother. We went to work writing the Money Maniac curriculum and shooting tons of video. Within a few months we had a great system and we were very happy with the results that we were getting and the feedback was INCREDIBLE!

I had people coming to me saying that they are using my system and are now only spending $50 per month for all their food for a family of six! I was so excited!!!

It was then that my mom died. Continue reading →
