This is a Guest Post from Jodi at  MySLCMommy  about why you should print coupons! You see people saying not to and she tells you why she feels you should.  You can find her on  Facebook here --she also has some fun  Giveaways  you can enter! So many people think printing coupons is a waste of time, ink, and paper. What do you think? Here is a run down of what I think (and why!) 1.) Printing coupons allows you to CHOOSE your savings! You can print JUST what you need! 2.) Companys are putting high dollar or B1G1 FREE coupons out there for print! 3.) Almost every company has a FB page or a website that they load with coupons! 4.) Most coupons that you get from the paper are NOT free (you have to buy the paper) and you are limited to how many you buy! I know people who have three computers, so they can print most coupons up to  6 times ! 5.) You are basically printing MONEY! I see coupons as MONEY! 6.) You can print more then just GROCERY coupons.  Don't forget about Retail Restaura

I took copious notes, for my own sake, as well as for all my friends that couldn't be there.  I figured the readers of Tight Wad might also enjoy learning what I did.  The most important point, that I hadn't properly comprehe
