Coupon Basics "How to get started"

WHERE TO START:

Step 1 – Create an Email Account for Coupon Sites

Sign up for a free email account so you don’t have to deal with tons of newsletters coming into your personal email. I really think this is important because if you have a separate email account you are more likely to sign up for offers for free coupons and newsletters. Which is where I find a lot of printable coupons.

Step 2 – Start Collecting Coupons

If you don’t get the Sunday Newspaper, Sign up for a subscription to the Daily Herald. They are the best price for Utah County. If you live outside of Utah County then just sign up for your local newspaper.

Create a place where you can keep Internet Coupons that you have printed. I typically print these as I find them because they disappear fast. I put them in a pile on my desk and cut them out when I do my weekly coupon clipping.

Step 3 –Build a Coupon binder

I prefer this method because I like to take all my coupons with me as I shop. Just in case there are deals that aren't advertised.
You will need: 9 pocket base ball sleeve dividers, 3 pocket photo holders, and tabs

For information on how to organize your binder go here

Step 4 – Organize your coupons

I sit down once a week and go through all my coupons. Here’s my method:

Cut out all coupons you are going to use from the Sunday Inserts. Ask yourself: Would I want this coupon if I found a good deal on this product, if the answer is yes, then cut it out.

Cut and file all my Internet coupons at the same time.

Now you are set to begin shopping using coupons.

I LOVE SMITH'S

I got my check in the mail Yesturday. $5 , it says to take it to the cashier and more coupons will print at the register' If money back isn't enough you also get additional coupons that print out at the register .
This is why I ALWAYS go to Smith's and do my shopping instead of price match at Walmart when Smith's is having a great sale.

Also Saturday I went shopping with my Mother and bought over $100 in groceries and paid $15. That's right $15. The women behind me couldn't believe it. I filled the belt with food and walked away paying very little. SHOPPING WITH COUPONS IS GREAT!!!
