I saved all of my receipts and transferred the coupon savings into an ING account at the end of each month. He was on board when I was able to pay for a big ticket item (california shutters) without dipping into savings or using credit.

I have a separate bank account for all my coupon savings too!Quote:

I suggest 2 things - Make an effort to find him some coupons that are for items which he really likes to use. Then, give it time. I believe he will slowly come around.
My spouse was the same way as your's and eventually got hooked.
Great idea! We may actually give this a try (but without the ING account).Quote:

i have used coupons for years- my hubby will never come around he thinks i buy too much stuff- maybe i have to condense now that there are no kids at home- but its hard -like the arm and hammer laundry soap i paid .99 cents after coupons i have 10- that is just to cheap to pass on- oh well i will never stop using coupons.Someone at wok the other day asked me did your mom use coupons- cause we were discussing saving money- not really just started years ago when my hubby was laid off.
