I have been couponing for about 2 1/2 years now HARDCORE. I was totally overwhelmed at first. I wanted all the deals, all the coupons, all of it, EVERYTHING. The key is not to let it overwhelm you. Don't go for the gusto right off the bat. Start small and build up. Start with one Sunday Paper and maybe some printables. Next while you are shopping look for things with coupons on them (peelies). Look for hang tags, the little pads of coupons right out there in plain sight, often ignored. Build up your coupon supply slowly.
Shop the deals. Get your sales papers. Look for things you use in there and make a note of where it is and the price. Comparison shop. Remember too that Wal-Mart and Target will price match keeping you from going to multiple stores if you don't want too. I often tell people that my family eats according to what is on sale that week. I grab my sale papers, sit down, make a menu and a grocery list. Often it keeps us eating something different instead of the same old things all the time. Also makes cooking during the week easier. I have the ideas listed right in front of me. I don't have to spend time wondering "what's for dinner".
Most importantly Remember a penny saved is a penny earned!
Until Next time: Happy Couponing!
