Couponing

If you want to start couponing you need to be prepared for the time and effort this "hobby" takes.  You NEED a printer to print the printable coupons off of the websites such as http://www.southernsavers.com , http://www.iheartpublix.com ; http://www.couponmom.com ; http://www.walgreens.com and http://www.target.com .  Also you will need to purchase at least 3 to 5 Sunday papers.  If you live in a small town find out where you can buy the larger cities Sunday papers from or if they deliver in your area.  Sunday papers are essential to getting the best deals and coupons! Also Sunday papers will include the next weeks sale adds! Usually the sale adds have the sale date in the lower part of the add!  You can clip every coupon out of them and keep all coupons.  Even if you do not use or ever buy the product, you just never know one day you might need that product one day and it could go on sale and you will have a coupon!  In the south most items on sale this week will be on sale AGAIN in 6 weeks like clock work!  In the north most items on sale this week will be on sale AGAIN in 10 weeks like clock work!  You want to hit the Buy One Get Ones (BOGO) with a coupon!  At Publix if you purchase their BOGO you can use 1 vendor/manufacturer, 1 store and 1 competitor on EACH item even if it is the Free one, this is where you SAVE $$$$$! Also if you go to CVS or Dollar General sometimes you get a Register Coupon that says "get $5 off your next purchase of $20 or more" you can use one of those coupons per transaction at PUBLIX ONLY.  Please remember it is only a good deal if the item is at least 40% off!   You also need to have a way to organize your coupons for easy access when you are in the store. 

There is a lot to couponing and I will be posting daily on this blog to help you out.  Done for tonight!  Happy Couponing!
