A few articles ago I told you my apprehension about taking up the coupon challenge. I was concerned about the time it would take to collect and clip coupons. But I got to thinking about ways to overcome this hurdle. Surely there had to be someone who could clip al those coupons for me!

Well I was right. There are plenty of people who can help me though coupon clipping services. I started my search in Google of course, then I visited forums to see what company others were recommending.

Next I investigated how much it would cost to hire someone to clip coupons for me. I was happy to learn it would not cost an arm and leg. In fact it would be very reasonable to hire out this task. At some point I’ll dive deeper into this concept and show you don’t have to do everything yourself.

I found two site that gave me the information I was looking for. I wanted two things in addition to the coupon clipping service. The first was free shipping and the second was whole inserts.

One clipping services offers free shipping as part of their service. This is very good for me and their prices are very reasonable; just a few cents per coupon. Since they are so cheap I can order several of the same coupons to facilitate my stockpiling.

The reason I wanted whole inserts is because, as a beginner, I didn’t collect coupon inserts before. This meant I would only be able to take advantage of just a few sales as most of the deals required coupons from several weeks ago. Purchasing several inserts from past weeks would put me on the fast track in the game.

My source for coupon inserts charges a reasonable price and ships quickly. I got my package in two days, just in time for my first coupon grocery shopping trip.

If you don’t have the time or don’t want to clip coupons you can use a coupon clipping service. This is especially helpful for single moms who want to take advantage of using coupons to save up 50% or more on their grocery bills.
