Frugal Friday - Frequent Buyer Cards Pay Off
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

I've got those frequent buyer cards for everything from sandwiches and pretzels to coffee drinks and pizza. I'm here to say, "They do pay off!" As long as the card is for something you normally buy or do, like order pizza every Friday night, it will be worth keeping all those cards. They definitely bulk up and complicate the wallet situation though, so I've come up with a solution.

Use one of your coin type purses to keep all of your frequent buyer cards in one place. That way, when you are at that store, you'll know right where to go in your purse to get the card.

Last Christmas, I gave each of my sisters and mother one of these coin purses and explained that there was "method in my madness." After describing my "system" they have kept it up ever since. Go get those free sandwiches and pizzas and burritos! It's worth the little bit of trouble of keeping the cards with you.

My friends always told me it was a waste of time and that looking for them was a big pain! But I like your idea and I am going to start using it. Thanks! Chelsea in IL
