Step by Step Prep

Step by Step Prep

1.      GET YOUR COUPON INSERTS:

a.       Subscribing to your local News Journal for Sunday delivery

b.      Hooking up with a local store that carries papers. They may be able to let you have the inserts after business closes on Sunday.

c.       When picking up papers with inserts from local stores, get a variety including the Baltimore Sun which has different insert variations and therefore different coupons and amounts, than local papers do.

2.       ESTABLISH AN ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEM

a.       After many different attempts at keeping my coupons organized, I finally settled into a plastic index card organizer with dividers(found at Walmart). I found this was best for the quantity of coupons that I keep. I divide it according to the sections of the grocery store, and I alphabetize within each section.

a.        I also keep like coupons paper clipped together.

                                                               i.      Note-if you have multiple same inserts, stack them on top of one another to clip many coupons at a time. This time saving will prove invaluable.

b.      Another technique is to keep your coupon inserts intact. Instead of cutting them, simply put them in a file divider with the date they came out. Then refer to http://www.southernsavers.com/category/upcoming-inserts/ for the corresponding coupons. Keep in mind that there are variations by region, and there are times when these listings are inaccurate.

COMING TOMORROW: PLANNING YOUR GROCERY TRIP & COUPON MATCHING

Couponing 101....

After having spoken with dozens of friends about couponing in Sussex County, I decided to start blogging about how I'm saving all this money(and I do mean a lot of money!). I have never done a blog before, so bare with me as I learn the ins and outs. I am hoping to have some links and comments on the weekly ads, and how to save the most here in our town. I know there are a lot of coupon websites out there, and that's why it takes so much time to accumulate the info we need to get our shopping done. I think this will be a great resource for pulling it all together specific to our area stores.


I have been hard core couponing for 6-8 months, and it has definitely been a learning process. It takes a lot of time, patience, & energy. In the end, would I say it is worth it? Absolutely! I have saved  thousands of dollars(yes, not hundreds, but thousands) in just 6 months. It's what I'm doing to stay home with the kids, at a point where I thought I'd be back to work.

Keep watching for links to the websites that I found most advantageous and why
