A new craze that is taking over the grocery stores is couponing. Working in the service industry has taught me a lot for the better and worse. Although we don't enjoy typing in all of those coupons, or calling our manager when they don't scan, it's important we take interest into the deals. A lot of people are currently couponing to save money, although it is very tedious and it takes a lot of time out of your day it pays off in the end. Customers come through my line with coupons for diapers, food, cleaning supplies, body wash, laundry detergent, and etc. Most of the time you can get bundles of items for little or no money. I highly recommend college students take time out of the day to try to coupon, there are many social media sites you can follow to keep up to date with the deals of the week.
