Well....I am not a couponer....yet. My friend is trying to convert me. One of the things that's good is to have a manufacturer coupon with the in store coupon. I recently purchased 8 boxes of wipes for .04 cents plus tax. It was awesome. Good luck. That's all I know.....stacking is what I think they call it.
My friend here saves ridiculous amounts of money through her couponing skills. I think it's a great hobby to have...just takes a lot of time and effort. Here is her website for more useful ideas http://madcouponskills.blogspot.com.
I don't know a lot about couponing, but I just wanted to say KUDOS to you! I get exhausted and super intimidated thinking about doing it. But I totally want to! Good luck! Keep us updated!
Just be careful to only buy what you and your family will use and eat. A lot of the things I get coupons for, we wouldn't buy because they are packaged meals or frozen foods. I try to not buy those things as they are expensive and so unhealthy. I do use them for things like toothpaste and usually don't have to pay for it. Sometimes I write down what's for sale and match them with coupons and write down expiration dates so I don't forget to use them. And try to not bring your kids while you shop so you can concentrate. Best of luck.
I should be a couponer but I just don't have the time. I saw a lady on the news that had over a $100 bill at the grocery store and after all her coupons she spent $6. She also spent 5 hours a week on it. Good luck.
EBAY!!!! You can get bundles of coupons (let's say 10 coupons for $0.50 off cheese) and some markets double coupons so really you could get 10 cheeses for $1 off each. And some hve triple coupon days. Check your local stores to see if they do it!!
Also, use a paper trimmer instead of scissors. Stack the pages with coupons together and cut them all out at the same time. Really, it saves time!!! And sell the ones you don't use on e-bay!
