It kind of defeats the whole purpose of using coupons to save if that is whats trying to be accomplished. You should be using coupons that will fit into your everyday life as a tool to assist in saving money. If saving isn’t a concern and you just like to shop and find deals, then buying every item you have a coupon for could make sense. Definitely will not save you any money though.

If you don’t need the particular thing that it represents or if it’s not enough to make it worthwhile to redeem it nothing terrible is going to happen if it isn’t redeemed. Even if you can use the thing chances are that another coupon will show up down the road sooner or later. I learned long ago that I have to use the coupons not let them use me. The whole idea that manufacturers have behind issuing the coupons is for you to buy their products that’s what makes it worthwhile to them to issue them. Make sure you are using them to benefit you, not them.
