My sister back in Indiana has started couponing. She asked me to try it. And well, I have (in the past), but I never got those amazing results that the pros out there do. My sister insisted I try again. So I am... But I figured I will share what I am learning along the way. Maybe it will inspire someone else to save some money.
So first thing first. Where do you get coupons? Well, of course the Sunday paper. If you don't want to pay for the paper, go to your local animal shelter! The waxy coating of the coupons cannot be used, as they are not absorbent. So, if you ask you may get TONS of coupons for free that way! Another great place to get coupons is the Internet. I use:
http://www.coupons.com/
http://www.redplum.com/
http://www.afullcup.com/
http://www.pgeveryday.com/
These are great sites to get high value coupons. When you start couponing, you should also look for the stores that offer to double your coupon. That is how you start to stack on the savings! To add even more savings, take the time to look at your local circulars (of the stores that double coupons) and see what they have on sale that you have coupons for! Also try going to your favorite brands websites. Such as Cambell's, on-cor, Uncle Ben, Lipton, etc.
Last week was my first week really trying it out. I SAVED $60. It was pretty exciting watching my total go down. Now like I said, I am still a couponing toddler! But there are tons of great blogs out there with lots of useful tips! Good luck in your money savings adventures! Feel free to check out my other blogs! Back in September, I had one that teaches you how to make your own laundry soap for under $10! There is another one that shows you how to make homemade bath paint for your kiddos!
Be blessed! See you soon! Oh! please subscribe and share my blog!
