Money for Coupons
« on: January 07, 2013, 12:04:09 pm »
How about money for printing and redeeming coupons from the coupon center?  It wouldn't have to be much, maybe like a penny or 5 cents.  I work on another site that does this and it seems to be working for them.

Thanks for that info. I won't bother. Ink cost more than your rewards.

yeah it seems like the reward wouldn't come close to what the ink costs

I use coupon but printing isn't one of my methods of doing so, I usually take a pic with my phone or retrieve it from an email.

Yes it does take a lot of ink to print those coupons. I only print those that I know I know I am going to use.

I don't use the coupons, but really if you think about the cost of ink it's probably not worth it in the long run for the few cents that you save. I love to request free samples of things I'd use and they always come with great coupons, like a $1 off. My daughter got me into the free samples and wow you wouldn't think it, but it's addicting. Free products are great!

If we could get an extra 10 cents or so per coupon it might be worthwhile. I sometimes use printables if I'm going to shop in the next day or 2 and am sure I'll use.
I can print 10 pages for free at the library but most of these now require a special printer driver to be installed which can't be done there.

the value of the coupon would have to be a high amount to make it worth it :dontknow:

I agree with most of the comments in here, especially when you see those coupons that state you save $.40 when you buy 3 or 4 of the item...no thanks!

The trick to the coupons with multiples is to purchase that item when it is on sale saving you extra money.  Of course don't buy things you don't need but for example there was recently a coupon for $1 off 5 Totinos Party Pizzas.  We eat these all the time when my fiance doesn't feel like cooking (I don't cook :))  Our local grocery store always runs promos for these somewhere in the area of 5 for $4 or something similar (Meijer and lots of chain stores do too) .   So you use the coupon getting 5 pizzas for $3 instead of $4 making the pizzas 60 cents each.  If I got 10 cents from Fusion Cash for redeeming this coupon it would technically make the pizzas 58 cents a piece.  That's less than half price considering they are usually $1.20 to $1.30.  It takes time but I have saved a lot of money doing it.  It's tricky to match up the coupons to the ads though, I am no where near an extreme couponer!

As far as the ink expense goes, I print them at work since I don't have a printer (Shhh!)

 ??? I could be wrong but I think the ink would be worth it, if you are saving money on the food (I try to buy on sale and use the coupon) and get points from a site which in turns earns you more money I don't think the ink and paper would exceed those savings and earnings but like I said, I could be wrong.
