Myth: Coupons will save you money
Beware of the famous ’10 for $10′ offer. ‘This is a classic marketing strategy meant to clear out inventory,’ and you won’t save any money if you wouldn’t have bought them in the first place, Jamie Logie, a nutritionist and health and wellness coach told Reader’s Digest. Plus, store brand products and unadvertised specials are sometimes cheaper than the coupon ‘deals.’ Use coupons for items you use a lot, and compare prices before you toss them in your cart.
