I have been wanting to coupon for quite awhile. I have tried a few times and got a few good deals but it's time to really start trying to get more things for free.
I'm going to start by researching online different styles of couponing. I really hate the cutting out and sorting thing so I'm thinking I'm going to save by date but I need to learn more about it.
I am also going to try and find people that get the newspaper but don't use coupons that I can get extra coupons for. I also know that there are coupon inserts at the stores in the free paper stacks so I'm going to start looking for those. I also heard that if you talk to your newspaper delivery person you can get any extra coupons that they don't put in the newspapers so now just to figure out how to talk to that person.
I'm really excited to get this all started and going so I can start saving my family more money. We haven't quite figured out where we will put our stock pile of items as our house doesn't have the room and we share a garage with the neighbor but I think we will just start and then figure it out. My idea for now is to use space at my parents house and tell them that if they help me get the coupons and let us use the space they can use whatever is in our stock pile room. We will see what happens.
Not sure how soon I will have updates on how this is going but I'm going to try and spend time this week getting things started. Since I have tried before I have some idea of what I need to do and I already have the binders I need, although I'm probably going to change the way I store my coupons.
As I learn and figure this all out I will share what I'm doing! I'm so excited to get started! If anyone has tips you would like to share or links to other blogs or websites that are helpful I would love to have you share them.
Thanks!
