Couponing

Hi SomeCowgirl! Well, you don't have to do what you see on TV. All you need to do to start off, is to start slow. Start off buying little things in order to get the hang of it. You can try to buy things like Ketchup, Mustard, BBQ (Labor Day is coming up). Hotdogs, things like that. What i do is go to blogs that already have the work done, telling me where the sales are that way i don't have to do all that work. I know where the sales are, and I match my coupon to that sale!

That sounds pretty good. I think I'll be doing a lot of shopping from places like dollar general, they tend to have good sales on things, and seems they've been increasing the good deals when it comes to adding in coupons. I know someone whose been able to get things there for free because of their coupons plus the sales.

You can use coupons there right? I live in Illinois and they don't have Double Coupon Days! However; I do live 30 minutes from a store in Indiana that does, and Kmart also does it every so often. They just did a double coupon last month. I found shopping at Walmart, Target, & Dollar General has saved me a LOT of money!!! What stores do you have there?

Ahhh but it's not. When I first started I clipped ALL my coupons and I couldn't organized it until I learned a trick. DON"T CLIP THEM UNTIL YOU NEED THEM Here is what you do. Once you get the newspaper pull our your coupons and put the date on the front page. When you go to blogs, they tell you where to find the coupon. Example: Let's say if there is a coupon for Mustard in the Smartsource from July 17, 2011 for $1 off 1, it would say the following? $1/1 in your 7/17 SS You would go back and look for the SS dated 7/17 and go in it and only cut out that coupon. This has made my life SOOOOO MUCH EASIER!!!!!! I kid you not!!! Try it!!!
