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!
After that, you should decide how you’d like to organize your coupons. There are many methods to choose from….you’re sure to find something that reflects your personality, schedule and goals.
By now, 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.
You’ll also want to pick a few blogs to follow. I’d feel honored if you chose Simple Saving Savvy but ultimately you want to make your decision based on these things:
Is the blog updated consistently?
Does it bring you deals that are pertinent to your area and the products you buy?
Does it inspire you?
Take it slow and don’t compare yourself to others. Before long, you’ll be couponing as easily as you breathe.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also and he praises her. - Proverbs 31:20-28
