How much can you save per hour clipping coupons?

By

Posted: March 18, 2010

Thanks to Sherri for sending me the link to an article about how much you can save per hour by clipping coupons.  The final calculation was $86.40 per hour! That's a lot of money for clipping coupons in your PJ's while watching your favorite TV show each week! Scissors anyone?!

Any thoughts on the article?

j3434, me too :) I get two Sunday papers now, it's wonderful! AND all during 2010, there are only 7 Sundays where there will be no inserts, so it's hard to argue that as well.

agreed. that reminds me...i've been taking advantage lately of the n&o's great deals. i just started a new deal where i pay only $1.06 for sunday-only delivery. one doubled 55 cent coupon, and it's paid for!

Saving money takes less work than earning it :)

How easy it is now to gather coupons (internet and delivered newspaper inserts).

Sit in the comfort of home, clipping while dinner is cooking or watching a show on TV. Filing quickly and then waiting for the sale ads to show up :)

I would rather 'work' at saving than have to make that kind of money per hour working for someone else.

it's a lot of time, but it's essentially free money. i am grateful i've made the commitment (even if i slack sometimes!) when i see the savings and know my kitchen is stocked for my family. thanks for the link! really cool article.
