Default New to the coupon wold...

Hi all...Im new to the coupon world and like alot of people I always thought coupons were just too time consuming and with me bein a single mom of 3 ( 16yrs., 11yrs., & 9 yrs. old) I dont have alot of time. I seen a thing on tv about the coupon queen about a month ago and how coupons can really save alot of money I started thinking that maybe I need to get in on this couponing action..I have been clipping coupons and went and got myself all organized and ready to start saving...well my problem I am coming across is not really knowing when to buy...Looking in all the store ads im not really seeing a big savings...does anyone have any tips for me....

Thanks,
Devina

Paula was absolutely right! Go onto the forum page using the menu bar above, and find those store forums for ones you have nearby! Ask questions like crazy in there! The coupon matchups for the deals are usually stickied up near the top of the list in them, and everyone here will be more than happy to help you work out scenarios. Well turn you into a coupon queen yourself yet if you stick with it

Honestly, couponing CAN be overwhelming, so you just have to try to take it slow, so you are able to get the basics down, and then everything will eventually fall into place - start small and you can grow it from there. ASK questions, and READ READ READ!

Don't get overwhelmed and remember, it takes a little time and effort to get the results I know you're wanting - best advice is to READ READ READ all of the forums that you can!

Where do you shop?

And, excuuuuse me for not saying so earlier, but WELCOME!

Coupons are like lottery tickets that win every time!

Hi and

as far knowing when to buy something..... if it's a great deal for you then that's a good time to buy it.

The more you get into couponing the more you'll start seeing sale patterns develop and you can buy accordingly.

Hi and welcome to WUC! Good advice so far.....go to the forums of the stores you shop at and you will find good deals being posted. In no time, you will be posting your own too! Just stick with it. Not every trip is going to be fabulous, but every little bit counts, right?

Hi!!! My best advice is to get someone to coupon with you---a friend, sister or someone! You guys will feed off of each other and it will be two sets of eyes looking around the store for tear-off coupons and hang-tags. Send me a private message and I'll send you some wonderful coupons to get you started. Welcome!
