Using Store reward cards pays off

As a Couponing mom it is very important to me to earn rewards on everything I buy; when I can.

Store reward cards are a great way to earn more while you save.

When I shop I do try to find the better deal at stores that do offer rewards. Now a days there are not many stores that don't offer rewards for your purchases.

Some people think of store rewards cards as a hassle something else they will have to carry around and pull out  each time they pay, but what they don't understand is that while using a rewards card its kinda like building up one big banked coupon (in my opinion).

Each year I save up my grocery rewards and then when I have about hundred bucks I cash out and buy a gift card with it. Along with the couponing that I already do; my husband and myself ended up getting almost 2 trips of groceries virtually free.

You can do this at drug stores and grocery stores and some hardware stores as well offer these cards/store cash rewards like CT money as well.

Think about it start collecting points all year and cash out before Christmas when you really could use the extra cash sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!

Once you get to the minimum amount don't cash out just yet keep banking so that you can have a nice big cash out :)

Make sure you check your fliers and stores web sites as well to see what special rewards offers they have such as double your points and other little perks like that.

So if you are not a store rewards collector...
You might as well earn on the things you are going to buy anyways!

Happy savings and happy couponing
