The Basics

I talk to so many people that feel frustrated and discouraged by their whole couponing experience. I talk to even more that say things like ” I used to coupon and I just felt so overwhelmed by it that I stopped.” I strongly believe that couponing is like so many other endeavors in life; If we go into it unequipped or uninformed, we soon feel swallowed up by inefficiency, frustration and sometimes failure.

That’s why I’ve provided this resource section – to equip and inform you. And hopefully help you succeed!

If you’re new to the coupon game, then you’ll want to start here and familiarize yourself with Coupon Basics, Coupon Organization and Abbreviations & Lingo. Then move to the store guides. By that time, you should be seeing the full picture of how everything works together. Next you’ll want to visit store deals and try a few yourself.

When you start doing deals, I strongly suggest starting with doubling a few coupons at Homeland. It’s very encouraging to see yourself getting stuff for FREE! When you’re ready to try customer rewards, CVS is by far the easiest system to master.

Most importantly, take it slow and don’t compare yourself to others. Before long, you’ll be couponing as easily as you breathe.

In the meantime, when you feel you need a break, check out the  printable coupons, freebies and tips for  intentional living posted everyday at Simple Saving Savvy.

Happy Shopping and May You be Blessed!
