I got a press release from the The Coupon Council this week promoting National Coupon Month. The thing that caught my eye was this statistic: <em>&quot;The majority [of shoppers]  spend less than 10 minutes per week clipping and organizing their coupons, and achieve a 7 percent average savings on their grocery bill.&quot;</em> </p><p>So to me, that means that even if you don&#39;t want to devote a lot of time to saving, you can still save a lot with a little effort. If you say the average family spends $100 a week on groceries, 7 percent of that is $7. And $7 multiplied by 52 weeks is $364. I&#39;d say that&#39;s worth it... and of course, if you invest a little more time, you can make your savings grow in a big way. </p></div> <div class="node-blog-teaser-footer"> <div class="node-blog-teaser-comments"><a href="http://projects.newsobserver.com/taking_stock/its_national_coupon_month#comment"><img src="http://www.newsobserver.com/images/front_new/icon_discussion.gif" width="11" height="7" border="0" /> Comments (0)</a> <!-- If permissions, display edit link at end of teaser --> <!-- End edit link code --> </div> </div> <!-- End check for Teaser Toggle --> <!-- BEGIN AUDIO ATTACHMENT CODE --> http://projects.newsobserver.com/taking_stock/its_national_coupon_month#comment Sue&#039;s shopping diary Taking Stock Sat, 06 Sep 2008 13:00:00 -0400 suestock 9084 at http://projects.newsobserver.com
