Scared of couponing? Get over it, expert says

Intimidated by couponing? Don't be, expert Collin Morgan said. She's the main writer for Hip2Save.com, TODAY.com's couponing blog. 

During a TODAY Money web chat Friday after the Everything Cheaper special show, Collin encouraged guest Amelia to be confident at the checkout counter. 

Amelia: I am a little afraid to use coupons. In my culture, using coupons has always had a stigma attached to it. People think that if you use coupons you are poor. I also don’t want to be the person holding up the line at checkout. How do I get over my fear of using coupons?

Collin Morgan: Hi Amelia! You just have to be confident knowing that you are being smart with your money. And don't think it's abnormal to feel this way at all, I talk about my feeling at the register in this post.

But having couponed for quite some time now, I definitely don't get as nervous or as fearful as I used to.
