I have one subscription to our local paper, I get my Mom’s inserts, my MIL’s inserts, I buy one on Sunday with both Saturday/Sunday’s inserts AND I have a friend who conveniently works for the paper and gives me a handful of extra inserts when she can remember. My best tip? Check out http://www.thecouponclippers.com for a full tracker on what coupons are going to be in the upcoming week’s paper. That’s when I know to stock up. B1G1 coupons are my FAVE.

For me this is easier because I don’t need to cut and keep up with those coupons. As I check out the coupon is automatically used.

This sounds like an easy way to get into it without being overwhelming. Thanks Jen!

I do get multiple papers, and only clip when needed. I also follow a few local/national coupon sites to get up the best deals. I also check out store coupons, like Target, so I can print onine as well to combine my store and manufactuer coupons. I often trade with friends locally as well.

Looking forward to checking out her site and seeing more of her coupon tips!!

Also, you can usually find really good mail-in-rebates for meat (for ex. there was a $20 MIR for a turkey around thanksgiving) and use those. If your store doesn’t ever have any out (usually found in the beer and wine section) you can trade for them on the websites mentioned in my last post.

Once you get the hang of it, expect to save about 60% if you are doing a purely couponing shopping trip (I still will have to go to the store for a few things I don’t have coupons for).

Don’t be afraid to ask other couponers questions! They had those questions once too!

Coupons are very cyclical and seasonal meaning that you’ll get stove top stuffing coupons around christmas time. And stores tend to run sales on similar items about every 6 weeks so when you stockpile, try to get enough to last you at least 6 weeks. (This takes time)

Good luck! I’ll be doing a post about couponing on my blog (carolinafireflies.blogspot.com) in the coming week so check it out! You can also find some posts about couponing trips and my email if anyone has any questions!

Thanks for the organized reminder…oh so much better than mine. It’s all a process, right?
