Once when my local market doubled, I saved $98 on a $300 food order. With three teens in the house at the time, the free food fed the empty legs the boys seem to have.
If you get a large coupon for product that you don't usually use, keep it for food baskets that churches and schools usually gather near Thanksgiving or Christmas.

I have been saving 80% plus on food and getting personal items for free. Today at Rite Aid, I "bought" over $100 worth of things I use and will get $100 back from Rite Aid rebates, $20 from another rebate and $10 from another one. In addition, I had have $40 in coupons...so all in all, I made $70 going shopping today! I could not have done this without the lists and info from the above sites.

I can't seem to start the coupon thing, I really do want to use coupons and save money. We really can not afford to not use them. But like I said I don't know how to even start.
Does anyone have any advise for a coupon newbie?

I am an avid couponer too. There have been times over the last 5 years or so had it not been for couponing we would have had some bare cabinets and an empty fridge. Here is a great story I thought everyone would enjoy and it also gives tons of great tips on couponing, rebates and more.

I save pet food coupons and when I get a handful I send them to a local animal shelter.

I agree save the money for something you need. Also I get free items with coupons of things I do not use to donate.

I also use store brands that are cheaper than brand names even with a coupon. I live in a very small town - several miles to the bog box grocery stores so we never get double coupons. I can't save money using coupons.

I understand that a lot of people use coupons. But, I do not understand how they save money. When I go to a store, the store brands are as cheap as a name brands with a coupon. Also, I do a lot of shopping at Aldi's which does not take coupons.

The other day, I saved 22 dollars at one store and 14 in another. I haven't thought of saving this money and putting it into a separate account. Will start now that you have given me this idea! Thank you so much for sharing.
