Arrow To all Newcomers!

Just wanted to give you a little advice when getting starting couponing.

If you are really new to this, please don't expect to be able to do what Nathan or I do, or even other moderators on this board. We have taken shopping to a new level. A lot of what we do is to save money, but not only that it is fun for us. It is a challenge for us to see how little we can pay for items. We shop to the extreme, meaning going to 5 Meijers in one day just to get a deal.

You, need to begin slowly. Start by saving $20 on your bill. Get hyped about it because that is a great thing. If you jump in full force and try to go to the extreme, you may give up due to being overwhelmed. WE DO NOT WANT THAT!

So stay focused, start small and work towards saving more each week. When a great deal comes along, capitalize on it..This will get the juices flowing and make you want even more.

IN my classes I teach how to coupon shop. This is the first thing I tell people to do..
Go slow and you will get there.

Moonflower

My Coupons are my American Express Card - Don't leave home without them!

Kroger newcomer

I am a new comer to this web site .but like alot of u veterans i get a trill out of leaving the store with a buggy full of stuff and only paying tax or less. Kroger is my favorite store in doing this and the cashiers do know me when i come in. what other web sites are there to go to besides smaresource and coupons.com?

I am a newbie, but I am already addicted. I love to even save 5 bucks. Heck even a dollar helps. My problem is living in a very rural area with limited stores. I do what I can when I can. I hope to learn a lot from you guys.

Another good place to find coupons beside the obvioius Coupons.com, etc. are Manufactures websites. Try BettyCrocker.com, GeneralMills.com, etc.... Also all you Kroger shoppers check out Shortcuts.com, these are q's that you load directly on to your shopper's card (you can also stack these with your paper q's)

Without Coupons I would be broke

Imnewhere Hi everyone

Greetings from Kentucky. Hope everyone is well this evening. I have always been a coupon clipper but after seeing a clip on the local news... well, let's just say that I wanna be like you! I have searched the www for coupons but it appears that every site has almost the same thing. I would love to be able to go to every website of the products I use, but I have to go to work sometime! If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!!!
