Getting Started

Clipping coupons can be very overwhelming and time consuming. My friend Melanie wrote this:

I got all excited about this about a year ago,
bought the binder started ordering 6 local
newspapers to cut out the coupons. I was
into it for about 2 weeks and gave up. It was
too much time for me and it was very stressful
and not easy to shop.

So how do you make coupon clipping a rewarding experience? My best advice is to start small. At the time that I started, I didn’t get the newspaper, so I was limited to coupons I printed off of the internet. Don’t feel like you need to get 6 copies of the newspaper, clip every coupon and then use every single one.

Another tip to keeping it small is to start at just one store. I started at Walgreens. I figured out how to get the best deals there, and kept shopping at my other stores the same way that I always had. Don’t feel like you have to try and get every good deal in town, or you will be totally overwhelmed.

Keep it simple and do what works for you. Don’t expect to be able to do it all at once.

Feel like getting your feet wet? If you have a Super Walmart near you, print out a coupon for $1/1 Muir Glen product here. Muir Glen tomatoes are regularly priced $1.16-1.19 a can, so they are .$16-.19 a can.
