Finding coupons

In Addition to the Sunday's coupon sections there are many
places to find coupons.

Websites like wwwsmartsource.com and http://www.couponsuzy.com/ are great and
you can print coupons right then and there.

Other places to check are the actual website for the item you are looking for.
For example, if you are looking for crackers go to Nabisco.com.
Can guarantee there will be a coupon available but it doesn't hurt to check.

Check Facebook. And swap coupons with friends.

Don't buy stuff just to save money because if you don't use it then you
haven't saved any money.

getting started

I am always asked how to get started with couponing so I'm going
to break it down, simply.

First step...start with a shopping list. Sounds basic but it is so necessary
to stay focused.

I not only put a shopping list together but even my list is organized.

It takes time before but it will help when you are at the store.

I put my list together by the layout of the store. Most stores have floor
plans and they will help you so much.

In addition, in the left column I put the sale price..I also add a C circled if I have a coupon and the quantity I will be purchasing.

This is my step one. I'd love to hear yours. Give it a try. :-)

coupon cutback

We have cut back on our extreme couponing a bit.

Altohugh recently coupons have really sucked we have found a few good deals
and are stocked up for a while.

I just don't have the space for this so we are going to have to prioritze our
couponing based on space.

My cabinets are full and we have saved so much money.

I'm going to focus on cooking tips, making the most of your dollar for a while.

As always I love to hear from you.. Maybe a coupon swap ??
