okay I have been using coupons for awhile but not like you guys and girls here so I have a few questions. First how do you all find the time to clip sort etc. when you have children and a job??? Second Where is the best place to order coupons from. Like getting them in the mail fast when you spot a good deal, How do you pay for them, do you take the price of the coupons into consideration of your savings. I have so many questions and the kids want to go outside on this beautiful fall day ( and are driving me crazy). Also will be going to walmart soon and finding a binder etc to change the way that I am so unorganized.

Dede is the best place to order coupons from if you go to the coupon resources on the top you'll see it and just click the drop down menu & it will take you there. I usually get the coupons I order form her in about 3-4 days. I do take the price of the coupons in consideration. Dede has great prices but sometimes you can find lets say 20 q's on ebay for a couple of dollars which comes out cheaper. Also post in the ISO area on WUC. There you can post the coupons you are in search of and people will let you know if they have it and what they are looking for in return. To be more organized plan out your week. All the weekly ads and good deals are usually out a few days before so It gives you a chance to get ready. Hope this helps!

I have a 3 month old a almost 3 yr old and almost 5 yr old. I am a sahm so this IS MY JOB and i do alot of it either while they are sleeping or when my oldest is at preschool. My baby still sleeps alot and if he is awake we do alot of floor time and i clip than. i also dont sleep too well so i am up very late at night and get alot done than as well. When i order coupons i do take the cost into consideration vs savings and most places will have you pay w/ a pay pal account. I get mine from either ebay or kuntryklippers. up at the top of the page on here there is a drop down box for coupon resources. there are clipping sites listed there as well but i prefer kuntryklippers. They are in the next state over so that helps on delivery time. check all the ads the day they come out or sooner. Alot of the stores ads are on here anywhere from a week to two early so you can prepare, order and plan your route of attack! hope this helps some.

I work full time, and am Mom to an 8 year old. I work with my coupons at night and on weekends. I order from couponclippers.com and thecouponmaster.com; both are excellent.

I do what I can, when I can. I don't stress if I miss a sale - there will always be another sale. And since seeing the concrete savings, my husband is much more supportive of my couponing efforts than when I started.

Stick with it. Don't stress. Read the threads for the stores you frequent. You'll get the hang of it!

I work full time and have a 3 year old son so I focus on getting organized (clipping, sorting, etc) on the weekends after he goes to sleep or I wake up really early (he wakes up pretty late). If I'm organized by Sunday night, then I start looking at the deals in the ads and go shopping. If I'm not organized, I don't shop or I just look at the ads to see what I really need or what I think is a great deal and grab the coupons for that stuff. I don't really stress out about missing a deal, and with the holidays coming up, I'm slowing down a bit to focus on that.

I don't buy coupons because I get tons of papers. I subscribe to the free weekend editions and they have inserts in them, and I'm on a couple of trains so that helps me out too.

I have an 8 yr old and an 11 yr old. I make them help! You want a candy bar find the coupon. My daughter (11 yr old) LOVES it! She finds coupons in the store and will take a handful.

It teaches them and helps me. I clip, sort and put them in my binder as much as possible. It's my hobby. I do this while watching tv. I try not to have more than I can get together by the next Sunday, that's always my goal. The coupon binder is a God send!
