Watch How "The Coupon Mom" Saves Money on Groceries

Here is another video on couponing. Be inspired by the news feature on The Coupon Mom, who showcases how much she saves on each item shown on camera. Sometimes she would even get items for free.

Her main message is to match coupons with the products at their lowest prices. She also mentioned five common mistakes on shopping, such as not having a plan. Please note that when they mention "double coupon" policy, it is mostly applicable to American supermarkets. These supermarkets will double the value on the coupon on certain days. So, if you have a $1 coupon, on "double coupon" days, you could save $2 on the specified product. That's why it is a lot easier to get products for free.
