Tips On How To Start Couponing
So you're interested in couponing? Who isn't these days? I've got some excellent information to share that can help you cut your grocery bill considerably. Think of coupons as currency, because that's exactly what they are. In order to begin couponing you should start a stockpile with coupons you will use and get plenty of them. Getting multiple copies of the same coupon is a smart move because when you come across an excellent deal you are going to MAXIMIZE your savings.
There are numerous places you can acquire coupons. You can contact the manufacturer personally by e-mail, phone or postal mail and let them know you enjoy their product and ask if they can send you coupons. Don't worry if you get ignored, this tends to happen, however, some manufacturers are more than willing to send you coupons at a much better bargain than an insert would.
Ask your friends or family to share. If you know anyone that gets the Sunday paper ask them if you can have their inserts if they don't use them. Where I work there's a few girls that coupon as well and we are always sharing coupons, whatever I don't use, someone else is bound to use.
Pick up a Sunday paper or two or three or even four, the more copies of the coupon equals a much better deal! Local ads and coupon inserts are the best places to start for beginner couponers. The Internet is also a wonderful source for coupons. Sites like http://www.coupons.com/ is a wonderful place to start clipping coupons.
Ask your local grocer if they have a coupon booklet available, most do. This way you can use the grocer's coupon AND the manufacturer coupon, maximizing savings! Sites like www.dillons.com allows you to upload coupons onto your card and you can also use your manufacturer coupon as well.
Keep an eye out for sale ads, you can check these out online each week, shop around and see which store you will get the better deal from. Wal-Mart doesn't double coupon but they do price match, so just remember that. Become aware of your stores coupon policy as well. And don't be afraid to call around and ask about their policy or if they take double coupons or not. Some stores will double coupon only up to a certain amount but some will take the full amount also. Keep your ears open for double coupon days as well as many stores offer this at one point in time at least a few times a year.
Couponing can seem like a rough task at first, believe me it's no tea party. But if you stick with it it will become natural to you. I've become to the point that I actually dream about saving money, no kidding! I love it! It has helped me in so many ways!

Why Couponing Can Be Beneficial
With inflation on the rise people everywhere are trying to find ways to save a buck here and there. Saving just a few dollars can be very critical for some families, that's why couponing is becoming the latest craze. It's amazing to watch TLC's "Extreme Couponing" and see how people can get hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for next to nothing. I for one am not an "extreme couponer" just yet but I am getting there.
I started clipping coupons just a few months ago, not because I'm poor, but the fact that saving any penny I can right now will benefit me and my family in the long run. I started out as what you would call "the occasional couponer." I would clip coupons that I needed at the time and use them right away. At the register I'd hand over a few coupons and save a few bucks, which isn't bad, but wouldn't you rather save a few hundred or so a week?
I'm becoming more of a savvy coupon deal shopper. Most people buy the generic brand because it saves them money, but what if I told you by using coupons you could have the name brand and actually save more? Believe it or not it's true. The thing is people buy the Sunday paper for the coupon inserts and use them right away. When it comes to extreme couponing we know better, because if you hold on to the coupon for just a bit a sale will come around on that specific item and you can have it for just pennies or even less!
Holding on to a coupon for a few weeks may be hard to do but if you wait for your store to have a sale then you can really find yourself saving much more than you thought. Also know that you can use store coupons and manufacturer's coupons on the same item. You can also use two coupons on a buy one get one free sale, which can end up getting you overage. Believe it or not but you can actually make money couponing.
Don't expect to become an extreme couponer right away, no, these things take time. You have to get in the flow of things, set up your own system, organize, research sale ads, become familiar with your stores coupon policy.
