Coupons have made it so now I know I don't have to pay for Toothpaste, deodorant majority of our Health and Beauty products, and very little for our toilet tissues and paper towels.
I spend a lot of time and energy to do this, but I also enjoy it. Those of you who have come across our page looking for couponing ideas I recommend to slowly get into it. If you jump in too hard initially you will loose interest quickly. You have to understand that the only way you can keep yourself motivated in doing this is to set a goal for yourself. For Example, My short term goal is to save money each year to go home and visit my family. My long term goal is to put savings in the bank for our daughter as she grows.
As a beginner I think you need to start by just clipping and printing coupons that you are absolutely going to use. You also need to be open minded. A brand is a just that, the ingredients used on similar products are essentially the same. I use whatever brand I can find to save me money. From there you will see how this can save you in the long run.
