Welcome to my blog.

You too can save LOTS of money on many different items. In my blog I have links for you to check out. Some to other couponing blogs, some to coupons and also a couple on how to get started. I started doing this October 16, 2009. I'm at 72% savings. What that means is that if I buy $100.00 of product, I'm only spending $28.00. This is completely legal, I'm not doing anything more then being smart. It can take a few hours a week to get organized. I know it may seem over whelming at first, but once you start getting great deals you will pick it up quickly. If your new at this ,check out my newbies and lingo section. You will need to change the way you think and shop. No longer shop for what you need in a week, stock pile sale items.

Please feel free to ask me a question or comment. I'll be happy to get back to you.

Newbies- how to get started

Things to remember-
-When a store if offering a B1G1 you can use only one coupon, they do not allow coupons on FREE items..
-Stock pile things that are on sale. Do not shop for the week, shop for the year. If you see something on a big sale, stock up. Create a store of your own in your cabinets or pantry. This way you don't ever have to pay full price when you run out of something. You simply go to your "in house" store and get it. Always check expiration date's on your items. Many item's you buy have at least 10 months before they expire and some longer.
-Remember the stores sales go in cycles. It's about every 12 weeks.
-No need to clip your coupons. When you get your coupon booklets (INSERTS) from your papers, take a marker and write the date on the front. Then file them away. Once you start checking different coupon blogs you'll see that they do the ground work for you. They will list stores and the sales they are having, then tell you where to find the coupon for the items. If you see something you want in a store ad and it's not listed on a couponblog then there are a couple of places you can look it up. www.jillcataldo.com has coupon look-up on her site. You can google it as well.
-This is a learning process. Do not feel overwhelmed. It should not take you long to pick up on this. You can put as much or little time into this as you like. It's a great feeling to save hundreds of dollars a month on things you use everyday.
- Please feel free to ask me any questions or comments.
