you have two options. the first, and most cost-effective, is to pay $35 for the entire year when you purchase a one-year-membership. this enables you to change the content on your coupon countless times during the course of your agreement. your other option is not quite as economical. you can call the penny pinchers at any time and pay $20 per change. it’s best to pay $35 for the year so that you can alter your coupon to coincide with new merchandise, sales or holiday specials. your penny pincher representative will clearly explain these options to you when you come on board.
