What I don’t understand is how some of these couponers buy 50 or more of one item!! Do you have to have 50 coupons to make that work??? Also, how to printable coupons work?? My impression is that for couponing to be effective you have to have a ton of the same coupon…so, what, you just print a whole bunch. TOTALLY CONFUSED!! I want to save…don’t want to extreme coupon, but a little savings would be nice!

Thanks for the excellent tips! $45/week is very impressive indeed. I’m slowing starting to coupon, but I don’t know if I have time to go “all out.” Even 1-2 hours per week sounds like a lot…

Great article Jenny!! We average about $60 a week…but I don’t CVS. I know, I know. But I Rite Aid. I like dealing with real money instead of CVS money. But I had to laugh when you mentioned not beating yourself up over every dollar you save or don’t save. I’ve had shopping trips where my deals didn’t work out, or I spent more than I thought I would…and I feel AWFUL!! My husband laughs at me because I’m usually only upset over a few dollars.

I’m loving this post! I’m just getting into the couponing world, and anything that makes the process easier is great by me! Love the links to the different sites which combine the deals for the week.

I linked to your blog from mine on this post! Thanks again!

This is what a coupon idiot I am. I just figured out what y’all meant by filing the inserts and not cutting. D’OY! I’m hopeless.

Great post Jenny!

I also file my coupon inserts rather than clipping every single coupon. I clip the ones I’m fairly certain I’ll use and file the rest – to use if I can get something free or cheap. I have actually found some new products that I prefer over the ones I had been using by doing things this way.

I am a coupon failure. I’ll be all excited to use the one coupon the grocery shelf doodad spit out at me, then the cashier will tell me it’s for something else next to it on the shelf.

I have, however, figured out to pass my CVS card in front of the reader at the front of the store to get my current ECBs. Helpful when your sad little coupon stash is sitting at home on your desk where it’s sooo useful.

I’m printing this out and am trying again because I really would like to pay less money for things.

These are great tips! I always have the best intentions to use my coupons, and save money but forget about them when it is time to hit the store. Starting slow is the best tip for me, it can be very overwhelming.
