How to coupon = Learning update

I am tied up with RL stuff so have not had time to write up how-to's yet but I will get to it. 

Start off by making sure you buy the sunday paper or several if there is good coupons in it. Check your Mailbox and save all those as well.

Find a system to organize the coupons, because trust me, they will pile up and it will get overwhelming.

You can purchase a small organizer for coupons at Kmart, Target, Walmart ect, even the dollar store has them at times. I have several of these, which I will explain later.

The best thing to do in my opinion is when you get the coupons, write the date of that Sunday on the front cover of the coupons, (Always use Sunday's date, that includes the P&G and Red Plum that come in the mail. So if I put up a deal and say coupon X is in the 2/14 P&G you will know where to find it. It is so much less time consuming then clipping every coupon.  Never throw coupons away even if you think you won't use it until they are expired, you never know when a coupon will get you a great deal, regardless if you use the product or not.  You can always donate it.

I use a huge coupon binder which I will go into more about later, but trust me, unless your devoted to clipping and filing, this is not a good option, I never keep up! And my coupons are currently in chaos because of that.

You just need to figure out a system that works for you, and get your hands on as many coupons as you can to get the best deals and start stockpiling, which I will also cover later on.
