Couponing 101

-First of all………………………………………………..have a goal!
If you just get every good deal, you will end up spending more than you normally do getting stuff you normally would not. My goal is to spend no more than $25 a month at CVS/Walgreens. I also always plan to save more than I spend at the grocery. My budget is $400 a month. I do this very easily and have things stored up and this is about half of what we spent before.

-Second……………………………………………………every store has different rules about couponing.
To be successful, you have to know the rules of the store you are shopping at!

-Third……………………………………………………….This does take a lot of time and effort to do well. Be prepared!!

-Forth………………………………………………………….I get 5 Sunday newspapers a week for the coupons. The going thought is that you should get as many as you have people in your family. That seems to work well for us. I also print a lot of internet coupons from different sights.

These are just the basics!!
