2. Having the whole family involved in couponing is very
important. Your family members may not be as
enthusiastic about couponing as you in the beginning,
but there are ways you can change it. Couponing is all
about commitment and consistency and having your
family involved makes it a lot easier.
Pleasing all your family members and saving money is
quite a feast. They might grumble at first because
they are missing out on their favorite snacks or meals,
but they will come around. Shopping with coupons is
not easy and it changes the way you shop, which is
way not everyone does it. Here are a few ideas on
how to get your family excited and involved with
couponing.

3. You need to sit down and have a conversation with
your spouse and children about money, and the way
you are going to try and save money by using coupons.
Children (and husbands) need to understand that in an
effort to save money, they are not going to be getting
everything that they are used to. If the family as a
unit is aware of the financial implications they will be
more willing to make sacrifices where ever needed.

4. Setting a budget for your monthly grocery budget
is a good step. Once the budget has been set, you
can then look at how you might be able to slip in
a few of the items that your family has sacrificed.
A good idea is to set aside a little money each
week for special items.

5. The more fun you make couponing, the more your family
will participate. Making a reward is a great way to get the
family involved. Agree to use the money you save every
month by couponing on a family vacation, or something you
have always wanted as a family but could never afford.
If you have young children, make clipping and sorting
coupons a fun activity that you can do together. Older
children can help you search for coupons and special deals
online; they can help with the shopping lists and even help
you start up your stockpile.

6. If you are working towards a special reward with
the money you are saving, make an effort to keep
your family updated on the progress. Making a
chart is one way of doing this. Staying
enthusiastic about the project and talking about it
often will keep it real in their minds.

7. Using coupons is going to expose you to a lot of
new products as those are the ones that most
often get promoted by both the stores and the
manufacturer. Giving up your favorite brand is
hard, but agree to try another brand at least
once. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it
again.

8. Decide as a family on what products you are
willing to save on (using coupons and sales) and
what products you simply cannot live without.
Save money on the products that you are not so
fussy about, like toothpaste and laundry
detergent.

9. If you care about saving money, and your
family is on board, there is no limit to how
much on your monthly
grocery bill.
