How to organize your coupons!

Welcome back!! 

Today I'm bringing you a short video showing how I organize my coupons. This may give you an idea or inspiration on how YOU want to organize your coupons too! 

Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect, and you don't have to copy anyone. It's what works best for YOU! :) 

Have you started getting your weekly inserts? How do you plan on organizing your coupons?

How to match coupons to weekly sales!

Phew! 

I haven't been on my blog in years, but I guess this is a good time to bring it back up and running and update a few things. :) 

I've been asked to help learn how to coupon, so I have decided to make a small "couponing series" for friends and anyone else interested. This post is the first of many to come!

I have explained quite a bit in the video below, however I would also like to add that I will be doing videos that are specifically for certain stores. Why? Because stores such as CVS & Walgreens have their own rewards programs where you get $$ back in the form of their own currency. CVS uses ExtraCare Bucks or "ECBs" and Walgreens has a points rewards system that can be cashed in toward other purchases in the future. It's important to know each store's policy because some cashiers do not know their own policy so you'll need to know what your rights are when it comes to coupon use. 

Hope this first video explains things a bit clear for everyone. Remember, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask in the comments either here on my blog, or on my Youtube page, OR in our Facebook group. ;) 

I am excited to have more people to talk "coupons" to!   =D

Coupon Crazy!!!

A few years back I watched the premier of a show called "Extreme Couponing" & immediately became hooked on the idea of saving a bunch of money by using coupons. I tried it for a bit and quickly became burnt out from trying to catch EVERY deal I could find. Back then I simply wanted the "rush" that comes from seeing your total drop down to mere pennies. I think all newbie couponers go through this stage but it is important to realize that we don't HAVE to go get every deal that comes out free for us. I remember buying hair dye because it came out free and never even using it! In the end I just gave it away to friends and family. 

I've recently decided to try once again since I know I have the time to do it and since we now live in a bigger city, it wouldn't hurt to save a few bucks here & there. ;)

Have you ever tried your hand at couponing? What kind of things held you back? Did you have the newbie rush of trying to call all the deals in one day? Have any tips for others that you'd like to share? :) 

If you have any questions for me on couponing please comment below! I'd love to help others learn how to save! :) 

Blessings!
