Whether you’re a die-hard couponer or you’re just beginning your career in couponing, one thing we can all enjoy is National Coupon Month! That’s right, September is the month that couponers of every shape and size can come together and save. In fact, according to a Valpak Readership Survey, using coupons has the potential to save your family up to $10,000 per year! Despite the mindset of some consumers being that coupons are only for short term savings, responsible and mindful shopping can save you some serious money in the long run. And, more importantly, using coupons make us feel good! Recent studies of couponers found:

•  Nearly half of respondents age 18-34 said they feel responsible when they use coupons.
• The top five emotions felt after using a coupon were: satisfaction, happiness, smart, responsible and accomplished; one in five consumers said they feel victorious after using coupons.

To celebrate the holiday Valpak and Savings.com are putting on the 10,000 Reasons to Save Contest which will award a whopping  $10,000 to one lucky winner. With their prize the contest winner will definitely be able to make a dent in financial goals.
