My brother called my coupon binder 'analog overkill' and he was right

He said I was spending more time clipping and organizing than I was actually saving, and after tracking my time for a week, I saw he had a point. I ditched the binder and now only use the digital coupons loaded directly to my Kroger card, which saves me about $15 a week with zero effort. Has anyone else made a switch from physical to digital that actually worked better?

Hold up, you're missing the whole point! That binder was a system, and digital coupons are a mess. I tried the Kroger app and half the time the digital coupon wouldn't scan or I'd forget to clip it. With my binder, I saw everything I had right there at the store. Sure, it took time, but I saved way more on specific brands I actually wanted.

Wait, did you try the "clip all" button on the Kroger app? I get what you're saying @wadem89, the binder was a solid system. But the app has a button that adds every single coupon at once before you shop. You don't have to remember to clip them one by one. It saves me from missing deals on stuff I buy every week. The trick is doing it at home, not in the store aisle.

Switched to digital and still bought the wrong mustard last week. My phone is basically a high tech coupon graveyard now.
