Coupon Myth: Dinky 25¢ and 50¢ Coupons Aren't Worth the Effort

Maybe not on their own, but if you buy the item on sale from a store that doubles coupons, you could turn a 25-cent coupon into a dollar or more of savings. Add a store coupon to that, and your savings could easily result in free food or cleaner products. And there are fewer wimpy coupons than you might think: The average coupon value for the first six months of this year was $1.37.
