Welcome to the wonderful world of CVS'ing! I'm going to let somebody with a lot more experience than I have start you off - I just began in November of last year. But I did want to tell you my biggest piece of advice is to be patient! It does not happen immediately! It will take you a little while to really get the hang of it, build up a coupon supply and start coming out ahead. I see a lot of people give up on it before they have given it a chance. Oh and read...read and read! The folks here and on a few other boards are so helpful and friendly - invest a little time and effort and you'll get the hang of it fast and make some new friends in the process!
