Coupons

There's no sugar-coating it, times are tough and the latest financial crisis (yes, I remember 2008) is still hitting pockets hard. While the heyday of extreme couponing might be over (see my blog Is couponing kaput? for more on this) occasionally the planets align and I get in a good week of couponing, and you can, too!

More versatile than the Easter bunny and more consistent than Santa, the coupon fairy is the everyday hero you've probably never heard of. If you've ever received a voucher from a stranger in the checkout queue, or found one tucked on a supermarket shelf beside the corresponding item, you've encountered a coupon fairy. Or maybe you're one yourself? If that's the case, we're about to lift the lid on your secret.
