Save Money with Coupons and Discounts
By
Don’t you just love to save money? I know we sure do!
A week or so ago my husband and I went to Mi Familia for dinner. Before we went, I looked through my coupons and found one for 50% off. It was one of those deals where you buy one dinner at the regular price and get the second dinner of equal or less value for half price. (When you do the math that means you get up to 25% off two meals – depending on the price of the cheaper meal.)
After dinner, we went to Kohl’s to find a turtleneck shirt for hubby-dearest who was going to the Notre Dame game the next day. When we got to the check-out, we found out he could get a 15% discount if he used his charge card. It ended up he got the turtleneck and a pair shoes. All because of the 15% discount!
This week, as I was showing some foreclosure homes here in Kokomo, I couldn’t help but think about how much these homes are “discounted” from their regular price. (By regular price, I mean the price of non-foreclosures and the prices these same homes sold for just a couple of years ago.)
Almost every foreclosure in the Kokomo area is priced at least 25% off the price of non-foreclosure homes. And many of them are priced at 50% or more off their last sold price!
You may be thinking, yeah Betty; but they need work! Yes, most of them need some work; but for many of them the work is minimal compared to the discount – and no coupon required! For a great deal see the Opportunity of the Week below.

Average sale price of similar sized homes in subdivision: $126,900 (31% discount)
Last sale price: $149,900 (61% discount)
Just think about it… You could buy this home for less than $90,000, put $2,000-3,000 and some “sweat-equity” into it and have a home worth around $125,000 in today’s market! That’s a discount of 25% or more and you don’t even need a coupon!
