Commenting on the findings for Coupons4Real, Panayotis Nikolaidis, CEO and Founder of Savings United, said: 

“It is fascinating to see which states are more likely to try to save money when shopping, and which states are seemingly less interested.  

“It’s notable that four of the states in the top ten of the ranking are western states, whereas in the bottom ten, five of the southern states make the list. This could imply that there is a culture of budgeting and saving money in some regions more than others, or it could indicate that some regions are cheaper overall and therefore there is less of a need to save money using additional means. 

“While finding coupon sites or discount codes may seem like an extra hassle when shopping, it is well worth researching to see what’s available before completing any order. Some stores always have online discount codes available, and these could help you save 10%, 20% or an even higher amount from the final cost of your purchase. Others will have them periodically, and you may be eligible throughout the year due to being a student or recipient of another continuous discount that they offer. 

“Of course, one of the best ways to save money is thrifting. Shopping second hand can be useful when sticking to a stricter budget and has other benefits too, such as encouraging the repurposing of goods instead of creating waste, which is beneficial to the environment.  

“Ultimately, saving money when shopping can help you reduce expenses significantly, allowing you to allocate funds elsewhere. It is recommended that you fully research all potential options before shopping so that you can make the most of your money and your purchase.” *
