So we all know there are many coupons for stores that we can print and bring in to the store to use. SO i have bought nail polish for stocking stuffers for my boyfriends cousin using a coupon, do you think that is a bad thing to do during the holidays or a good thing? I think its great that im saving money. There are also toy coupons i can use at target and target.com always has good coupons. I also have coupons i have on my cell phone that i use as well. I think its great using coupons if you can on gifts.

I use coupons and deals all of the time to buy gifts. I don't see anything wrong with it. I will even enter giveaways to get gifts for free. My daughters Christmas presents are totally taken care of already and I have spent $11 out of pocket. She will be thrilled at what she is getting - a pillow pet, one of those constellation turtles, a new farm play set, a pair of purple cowboy boots, and a buzz lightyear table wear set. Hopefully I can also luck out with my husband and 13 yr old!

There is nothing wrong with that. Why would using the coupon on a gift make it bad? I always look for coupons and such for anything I buy.

you save money that equals you make money. so you are a good housewife,k and your husband will love you. because you loose his pressure, the coupon can gives you so many benifits, why not use it for your daily cost. it is very good actons,especailly in our age ,the economy is in crisis. be yourself,do not think about too muck.

its better to get them those as soon as possible since as the coupon vouchers tend to increase after some time.i always gift those to my friends since they can easily get their or redeem gifts of their choice easily

Using coupon to buy gifts is perfectly fine. It does not mean that you are being cheap, you are just being practical. Intelligent shoppers do that all the time. Life is not very easy these days and sometimes, giving a gift is considered a luxury to some people. So, it is only wise to use those coupon when purchasing items whether you will be giving it as a gift or not. I also love coupons

Of course it's a good thing! I use coupons whenever I can; it doesn't matter what I'm buying or who I'm buying for. It's not as if they will ever know unless I choose to tell them. I even give freebies as stocking stuffers when I can get some good ones.

i think its great that you can use a coupon on a gift because that way you can get more, either for that person or for someone else.
one of our friends had a baby and i used a coupon i had for a free baby wash which then allowed me to buy some other stuff for them.

I think it is a great idea. A little savings go a long way. If you have money for presents, I would say you are doing pretty good financially. In this economy, we want to still be able to give gifts and make someone happy. It is the thought that counts, and thinking about how you can give more is very thoughtful.

It's always a nice idea to buy things with coupons as we can save money from their and we could use the money to buy extra items. But sometimes coupons are not true, sometimes you end paying more or just the same as the original price. Sometimes they indicate that you will save this certain money, but in reality you just pay for something the same like the original price. But many establishments gives coupons that you can really have big savings so thats very nice.

I don't see anything wrong with it.
I will do the same thing if given the chance that I might stumble with coupons that can be use to purchase things.
We have discount coupons here- and I also use those coupons to save money for other things.

I think it really is a good thing to use coupons. With the way the economy is these days, people are just trying to find any way they can save an extra buck when they purchase stuff. My friends think I am kinda weird that I spend an hour a week looking through all the flyers and local newspapers for coupons. I just see it as found money to use on things that I will probably buy and use anyway.

Hey there lolo,
I think it is neat you get to give stuff at the same time save a lot of money doing so, money nowadays are hard and i can just imagine the feeling of burning more cash for something that is not really a need, but with coupons you don't have to worry about wasting money you gotta get the right kind of coupon for the job.
