What do I need?
Where do I get them?
How do I use them?
When do I use them?
These are
all questions as a beginner I asked. So I figured that would be the place to
start. We are going to go over these questions quickly in this post, and more
in-depth in future posts. I know you all are anxious to get started and I want
to give you enough ammo to get going.
What do I need?
Well, other
than the obvious coupons, you will need a way to store and organize your
coupons. I believe the system that you use needs to be tailored to your needs.
If you chose to only do a small about for certain items, a large binder would be
heavy and useless to you. If you want to create a stockpile that takes over
your basement, like me, you will need a binder, with plastic sleeves, and a
stylish bag to contain the necessary arsenal.
Where do I get them?
No longer
are you bound to heaps of Sunday newspapers. We now have the option to not only
purchase full inserts but single sets of coupons from great sites like
WizClips. Another great site to just print internet coupons is Coupons.com. I
have also seen folks write or email their favorite company to compliment them
on products and request coupons. A word to the wise about purchasing coupons is
to only use trusted sites. Please ask on here or someone you may know that
coupons if the site is trustworthy.
How do I use them?
This is very
important. I must be real here. I am a firm believer in if you won't use it
don’t buy it. Coupons can be a blessing or an enemy. I found, with myself, that I
could purchase slews of items that my family wouldn't use because I had
a coupon. Even if it is cheap, it still costs something. You could end up
spending way more than your budget this way than if you never used a coupon.
This is where knowing your family's needs and what you need to stockpile
becomes crucial. Keep yourself in check.
When do I use them?
I love this
one. I feel that this is the ultimate key to couponing and what many I have
shared with missed the first time they attempted to coupon. Ready for it?
Combine your coupon with a weekly sale. WAIT FOR THE SALE. It is so important
to combine these because not only are you getting a lesser price sale wise, but
now you have a coupon. Deepens your saving immensely.
I know that
this does not include every single topic that we need to cover. But I want to
get you all started because some have been waiting a while for this. If you
feel that you can get started with these simple tips, awesome, but if you are
like those that need detailed instructions, be patient, they are coming!
Happy Savings,
Alicia
