I have finished 2 real weeks of planning and shopping....3 if you count the 1st trial runs, just trying to use coupons to feel confident. I have read blogs and coupon policies and all kinds of info just to feel confident; however, I must admit that I am still a little nervous, will they take my coupon, did I use it the right way, will I look like a dork? So I'm still not done with the research part of exactly how to use your coupons to get the most for your money.
One thing that I have realized is that you have to have LOTS of coupons. You need to have an ever growing coupon pile, because you will never get to take advantage of the SUPER deals if you only have a few to choose from. Thus, I have been shameless in my gathering. I have asked soooo many people. I have had my kids ask their friends' parents. (I have even thought about snatching some from neighbors yards when their papers are piling up...not my best quality showing :( But my little coupon collection is growing. I am so excited that people have given me their coupons, I have bought very little. So it's been a little under a month and my coupon pile is growing nicely.
Don't give up, it will take a little bit of planning and gathering, but you'll get there.
