Can Coupons Really Help Me Save? - Carrie Rocha from PocketYourDollars.com joins the panel tonight to answer the question many of us wonder as we watch hoarder-like shows about extreme couponing: Is that whole coupon thing really worth my time?

Show notes: http://moneymastermindshow.com/episode12/

Some important questions discussed in this episode:

How much can I actually save by using coupons?

What sort of time and effort do I have to put in to be good at this stuff?

Is there anyone else out there whose hard/dirty work of finding coupons I can piggyback off of?

Am I better using grocery store coupons or going the wholesale route with places like Costco and Sam's Club?

Should I focus on sales or coupons? Is it possible to layer both without going crazy keeping track of everything?
