Again this year more consumers and more wealthy households have saved money by using coupons , but many guys still miss easy opportunities to save money.
By clipping coupons just occasionally, an average guy can save more than $100 per year. Here are three no-hassle coupons that will save just about every guy some cash:
Instant Oil Changes
An average driver (12,000 miles per year) will require an oil change about every three months. That adds up to four oil changes per year, and as many as eight or 12 for multi-car families.
With an average synthetic oil change and lube costing more than $50, guys should plan to shell out $200-600 each year just for oil and filter changes. Most chain shops offer online coupons that save you big money.
Valvoline Instant Oil Change: Typical coupons save consumers $7 off of a full-service conventional oil change or $10 off a full-service synthetic oil change. Click here to see current offers.
Jiffy Lube: Typical coupons save consumers $5 off a full-service conventional oil change. Click here to see current offers.
Flowers
Flower retailers created some of the first successful Internet businesses. Their secret? They cater to an important niche: guys who forgot birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays and need a last-minute fix. Sound familiar?
Whether guys need a last minute gift for their significant others or just the yearly Mother’s Day bouquet, online flower sites offer money-saving coupons. Often these coupons aren’t available directly from the retailer’s website, but rather can be found on coupon-catcher services such as Retailmenot.com or Dealcatcher.com.
For instance, guys should check out these coupons before ordering from 1800flowers.com, which can save 10% or more off an order. Guys using Proflower.com should check here for the latest deals for similar savings.
Buying Clothes at the Mall
Most guys hate it, but sooner or later we all end up shopping for clothes at the mall. Shelling out cash for clothes is a little less painful when you’re not paying full retail price. Guys should check out the perpetually available coupons from these three large department stores:
J.C. Penny’s: Deals range based on season and item. Look for deals of up to 80% of original prices. Click here to see current offers.
Macy’s: Deals for this large retailer also change seasonally and go as high as 70% off original prices. Click here to see current offers.
Bloomingdale’s: Another large retailer offers season coupons. Click here to see current offers.
Guys don’t have to scour the Sunday ads to find good deals. By using the easily available coupons above, an average guy can save more than $100 per year with no hassles. Happy shopping!
