I'll start by explaining myself! For those who do not know me, I am Danielle and live in Blacksburg, VA. I am a married mother of one (the cutest 4 month old little boy ever!) and LOVE to shop! Not only do I LOVE to shop, but I LOVE to get good deals! I love couponing! Yes, it takes time and can be tedious, but there is some sort of joy I find in getting a good deal?!? I've always been this way, not sure why? I think you are just born with it.. I have a really hard time paying full-price for anything!
I will start by saying couponing can be VERY overwhelming if you try to do everything at once. I have learned over the last year how to organize my coupons and what works for me.. I also only really target coupon.. I do of course use coupons for grocery shopping, but after trying to dive into it all (CVS, etc), I found it very overwhelming! I will use a coupon to shop at Old Navy or almost anywhere, but I don't spend too much time looking! There are plenty of sites and blogs devoted to saving and some of my favorites are Money Saving Mom , Deal Seeking Mom , Disboards (budget board) and Frugal Coupon Living . I have noticed that you can really follow one, as they are end up with the same deals!
Anyway, I would say the BEST way to start is to figure out what works for you! I have two coupon "envelopes". One is strictly target coupons and one has all the others (which is bigger and has slots for different categories) and this seemed to work for me. I also try to have a plan before I walk in a store.. I know what I am going for and TRY to stick to it (with my coupons already ready). This does not always work, but I try :)
You don't have to be a crazy money saver like me to find a good deal! Remember to keep your mind open and look around. I will try and keep posting great deals as I find them.. You can also leave a comment if you have questions or find your own deal.. Or email me .
