Coupon clipping service and tips to get started...

I have found it hard sometimes to get my hands on great coupons. So I found a great service on line  go to www. couponcarryout.com It's a great site for information about couponing and they clip you coupons for you . They do charge a handling fee but I ordered almost 500 coupons the other day and it only cost me $12.95. These coupons will save me 100.00's of dollars for just 12.95. There are also sites that if you download the coupon software you can print them off for free.

Shopping on a budget:

1. first set a goal for yourself.

2. Figure your monthly budget for everything Food, Bills, Clothing, etc.

3. Start simple, start collecting your coupons.

4. Then get all your sale papers in order go thru them and mark all items on sale that you will be purchasing check an see if the stores offer comp pricing ( that is where you can get it for the same price at another store) I know Walmart offers this program.

5. It always helps if you also get a list of items the store has and what aisle the items are on.

6. Check the stores coupon policy sometimes they will offer a day of the week when they double your coupons. Also some stores offer reward  cards( these are points you earn when you buy groceries and can use them on your next trip.

7. Start making a list of the items you will buy, Then go to your coupons to see if you have any that will match your sale items.

8. Once you have made up your list it's time to go shopping.  I always carry my binder to the store with me and each section of my book list each department. This helps me keep everything in order.

9. enjoy the savings. You will be surprised just how much money you will save and the items you can even get for free.


It's just my husband and I but food is still expensive. So I started couponing the last shopping trip I made I spent $743.58 when I was done checking out I almost fainted then the cashier started scanning my coupon and the total started going down when it was over I paid $123.68  so I ended up saving over 90% and alot of it I got for free. It does take some time to do this but its worth it in the long run. When you can get 4 months worth of groceries for 123.68 trust me it's worth it. I have a stock pile worth $2000.00 and I have also been able to help some of my family members out with alot of my free items....
