Newbie to couponing!

[katesorad]

Well, I'm not a total newbie to couponing.. but I haven't figured out how so many people save so much $ using coupons! Can anyone help explain it to me?

Also, I have a few $1 off coupons for Kellogg's Mini Wheats, Fiber Plus bars, Eggo waffles, and Minute Maid OJ that I won't be using. Is there a thread on this forum that I can pass these along to others who may want them?

I belong to one of the coupon trains. I like it as I do get coupons that I actually use. I had a 3 dollar coupon for a 40 pd bag of dog food. Then another 5 dollars for their treats. That will last them about 8 months in treats and about 2 months of food. I also use the stores coupons. I use safe way I sign up for coupons. Its better when they have one for their product that I am using and then have my own coupon on top of that. It takes time to get coupons together. I do a big shop about ever six weeks. I do go buy milk or fresh produce when I run out. I like our farmers market which is way cheaper. I end up spending about 200 every week for a big shop for 2 people.

I would like to recommend you look into hip2save.com, couponmom.com or other blogs about couponing. These sites match coupons with sales at stores to give you the best bang for your buck!

I'm still completely unorganized in my couponing, but it is so much fun seeing what I can save with the few coupons I use!

Good luck to you!!!
