There were many requests in the survey we just had for more basic couponing start up information for people who are new and more specifically where should someone start? Both of those requests are fabulous and I will start with an answer to where I think it is important to begin your coupon journey.
Everyone starting out should begin their quest to save the big bucks at the grocery store by Knowing Your Top 50! This is an article I wrote for Blissfully Domestic last month and it makes starting out on the path to saving an easier journey! What I stress most when teaching a coupon class is that smart shopping does NOT begin with saving the most money using coupons to buy things you don’t want/need/use — that is just wasting time, space in your home and money – it is learning to save the most money possible on what you and your family want/need/use. This makes the effort you have to put out to save that money worth it!
I appreciate the reminder that couponing can be overwhelming and not everyone speaks the jargon. My next post will break down the coupon speak, take another look at where you can get coupons you will use, and explain why the time and effort is worth the investment!
If you have a specific question, comment, or anything at all — please leave them in the comments!
