I look at the local grocery ads and match up sales with coupons too. And, I watch the Sunday paper for good coupons and rebates. <BR/><BR/>I print a lot of coupons online now too. The best place I've found for me to learn about great deals is www.moneysavingmom.com I did OK on my own, but once I started sharing and getting info, my savings went way up. Also, she has tutorials there for Walgreen's CVS, basic couponing, etc. <BR/><BR/>I buy a lot more name brand stuff now...but I get paid to take it, I get it free, or I pay less than I would for store brands. However, if I need something that I can't get a 'deal' for, I buy according to price, unless we know we don't like a certain store brand or generic.<BR/><BR/>As far as what I'd recommend....I'd suggest going to moneysavingmom and just read. You'll see all these deals, and some will interest you more than others. Do one to give it a try...see how you like it. I started slow and progressed at my own pace. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>-LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480853709492521200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010626472834900402.post-63180830622346205702008-10-12T08:43:00.000-06:002008-10-12T08:43:00.000-06:00I've never really taken the time to coupon, but a...I've never really taken the time to coupon, but after seeing those numbers for your budget, I am amazed. <BR/>I buy mostly store brands and shop at Sam's Club, so coupons wouldn't be good for those places anyway. <BR/><BR/>If someone were just starting out, what would be your best advice to them about frugal shopping?<BR/><BR/>Did I mention I was amazed at your savings? <BR/><BR/>PattyPatricia Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389263530104563054noreply@blogger.com
