WYB: When you buy Thanks Deal Seeking Mom

Why would you want to do your own match-ups? Here are a few possible reasons why you might want to: Because you can’t find blogs that do match-ups for your local stores Some smaller grocery chains aren’t covered by bloggers (yet!) and if you have one in your area, you might want to figure out what the best deals are there. Because you can’t find coupon match-ups for products that you want to buy Yes, your store might be covered somewhere, but there are products that you see in your local ad, or products that you just want to buy, that aren’t on your favorite grocery blogger’s match-up list. Because (gasp!) I might miss some deals sometimes! I know, I know, I should be able to post every deal all the time, right? But there are definitely times where you will see an item in your drug store ad or Target ad and think to yourself, “I know this is a good price and I know there’s gotta be a coupon out there for it, why didn’t Rachel list it?” I can give you an answer… are you ready?...

You might be asking What are Coupon Ethics? Well the problem with the current trend of Extreme Couponing is some people are doing things that are illegal, unethical and just plain wrong. Most people are taught at an early age about Morals and Ethics and you can be taught the difference between right and wrong Coupon usage. I can't put it any better than Coupon Teacher so I'll link to her site instead of posting a duplicate of it. http://www.mycouponteacher.com/category/coupon-ethics/
