The questions for the coupon binder giveaway are great and I am really excited to share some of the answers with you now and others in separate posts over the next two weeks. Thank you for your participation! This has been a really exciting giveaway!
I am about to expose all of my money saving dorkiness to you all. If you know me already you have seen it many times — sometimes to your embarassment! If we have just met here, forgive me because I can not help it! LOL! First, I will answer the questions that can be answered in a link to older posts or other sites that I use. Then I will list what is coming up.
For those of you who asked about coupon organization, I will direct you to my Coupon Organization 101 post here and my post on Price Books and why they work is here. Yesterday I addressed Coupons & Savings On Produce and you can find out which stores Double and Triple Coupons in your state at About.com. If you have questions regarding anything after that please feel free to comment or email me at ibetbird @ gmail. com (remove spaces). Becentsables Grocery Gathering has an awesome round up of blogs who post the coupon match ups and best deals for grocery chains by region and they rock!
Ruth Ann asked if there was a way to decode the Coupon Barcode to avoid the embarrassing beep. While I can not tell you how to always avoid the beeps, because I get them myself occasionally, and sometimes there is a programming error, I can tell you that the 5 digits after the first number (usually a 5 or a 9) on the coupon barcode should match the 5 digits on the product after the first number of the UPC label. You can read a little more thru the link.
Hopefully I am covering many of the remaining questions with the topics below:
E-Coupons
What’s The Deal With Milk & Dairy?
Bread & Baking Products
Getting Deals On Meat & Deli Items
Target Coupons
Keeping Track Of What Coupons You Have – Knowing When They Expire
Why I Always Have My Coupons
Budgeting For Those Extras – Building Your Stock Pile
Knowing When Enough Is Enough
I will be posting these topics over the next 2 weeks. Here is hoping I don’t bore anyone! J

I did not know that about the coupon barcode…it was very interesting to read! Thanks!
was wondering if you have a way you want us to share deals we find with you and fellow SAVERS? I found that colgate.com will let you download coupons from the and Nabisco has a contest you can enter once a day at a chance for 15.00 in coupons.

That this site has been so encouraging. I thought it would be too difficult to save much. Boy, was I wrong. You have made it easy to find and use the coupons I want.Thanks Tia

Deb, if you have a coupon relevant to a post please add it in the comments and then I can edit to add it to the post. If it is just a fab deal I will post it separate! I always love input and help! Thank you!
