Couponing 101 - Finding the Right Balance

Couponing 101 - Finding the Right Balance

Day 7 of Series

Start with Baby Steps

When you first start to coupon you will be so overwhelmed with the process accompany this with seeing first hand of all the money you will be saving. You may be consumed in the thrill of cashing in on all of those deals. Take a step back and begin to focus on one store at a time. This will give you a chance not to be so overwhelmed while you are trying to learn each stores coupon policy. If you live in Burlington, we suggest you focus on Lowes Foods and Harris Teeter, because they are the two grocery stores that will double your coupon amount. This is where you will be getting the most for your money. Then add in the drug stores, Target, Walmart, etc. You will be going shopping every week so choose what is the most convenient for you.

Don't get upset or frustrated if you miss a deal. Remind yourself that it is likely not going to be the last time you see that awesome deal. Those deals will cycle around again and may be even better than the one you missed.

THIS IS FOR YOU NEWBIES

Don't get discouraged in the beginning when you may not see a great amount of savings. It takes time to build up a supply of coupons. Also, if you look at your receipt and your not as happy with not saving a large amount. Remember.....what you save is money in your pocket. As you continue to coupon, you will see between a 50-75% reduction in your weekly grocery spending if you follow the "Thrifty Moms Way".

::::Warning::::
You will begin stockpiling your groceries, but do not be alarmed if you begin to stockpile - clothing for your children, christmas and birthday gifts. You will become so thrifty, it will become hard to pass up those after season deals or blowout clearance sales.

So good Luck to you all!!!
