How do I get so many coupons? And how do I store them?
I have a lot of people ask how I get so many coupons and how do I store them? I tried storing all of my coupon inserts whole in a filing cabinet filed by weekly and insert type. It was ok and made for quick and easy searching when I was comparing matchups online and they listed what insert the coupon was from. However I was missin out on all of the unadvertised deals and the clearence deals when I didnt have all of my coupons on me. So I changed to a full binder system. It was a pain in the butt when I first transfered or if i get behind. But now i cut all of my coupons either that sunday morning or monday morning and i organize them into my binders. I take all of the inserts and i seperate them and put all of the like pages together then i staple each coupon so that way all of the like coupons are stapled together and less of a chance for a mess or losing any. Especially since some deals you need a certain amount of a coupon to make it work. I have two binders. One for food and one for everythig else. Everyone has their own way of seperating, some by isles some by specifics. I do mine in catagories and they catagories are alphabetical in the binder. I get 6 newspapers a Sunday. Sometimes more depending on the inserts. I get te 6 delivered. I suggest checking with your paper to see how much it would save you. I also order coupons that I want more of or didn't get. I use sundaycouponpreview.com to get an idea on what coupons I will get. But there are different coupons for different regions. Hope this helps. Any questions just ask :)

Here we go!!!!
Hello blogging world!!! So i have been contemplating for a while now to do a blog. And recently with me begining to take my weightloss more seriously and trying new recipes and of course my couponing i have had more people asking about it. So why not share it all here so i can give more info and track my progress as we go. Plus I love sharing my couponing trips and dinner pictures.
This blog will be focused on my couponing adventures and my journey of losing 35-40 lbs. and i will be doing it all as frugal as possible. I hate pating retail for anything!!! This includes my vitamins and supplements. I will go into that more later with its own post. Well i think this will be fun. I also hope to eventually get enough followers to put it on my resume and to get products to try and give away!!! So follow my blog and share with others!!!! Hope you all enjoy this as much as I will.
