I have so many friends and family members that ask me how I do all my couponing and where i find my info, so I have decided that it would be smart to make my own blog to help everyone out!
My first few tips for when you start couponing:
1. Make a new email address. This way your normal email address wont get a TON of spam and you can use your new email address just for deals, coupons and freebies!
2. Get some sort of coupon filing/organization system. I started with an accordion coupon filer but got to many coupons so now I use The Krazy Coupon Lady's binder. It is ALOT of work and definitely not for everyone. But incase you want to give it a shot this is her link for the
Binder. She also has some really great tips for beginners

3. You MUST sign up for your local paper. Even if its just the Sunday paper that is fine, trust me it will pay for itself with all the money you save!!
4. Go to the grocery MORE! Don't just make one HUGE trip. Also adventure out to multiple stores! I use to just shop at Krogers,Walmart and Sam's for grocery items. Now I shop at Meijer, CVS, Target, Walgreens and I am going to give Rite Aid a try!
5. Have Fun!! Cutting the coupons can be a pain but make it fun, have your son/daughter help cut them the little ones love to help! I always cut mine while watching my favorite shows!
On the VERY bottom of my page are some great links to start out with! Printables and great Deal websites.
