COUPONING QUESTIONS-----couponing 101

Someone had a question about how to read the coupon blogs!!
So here's the answer!!

when you go to a coupon blog
Find the store that want to shop at....for ex. Shoprite
Click on shoprite...
what they do is list the BEST deals for Shoprite that week
under each item on sale..she will tell you which coupon you can use on that item....
so for instance
she might list

Smart Balance Milk on sale for $2.49
(next she will list the coupon to use, she will either tell you where the coupon came from or give you the link on how to print the coupon from the internet)
so it may look like this
$1.50/1 Smart Balance 2/27 SS exp3/31
(this means, use the $1.50 off 1 Smart Balance Milk from the Smart Source Coupon Insert that came out on 2/27/11 and it expires on 3/31/11)
if she provides a link to print the coupon from the internet.....just click on it and you will be able to print it..
sometimes it may be a coupon that you have to register for....so my suggestion is get an email account that you will use just for couponing purposes....
so if you don't have the coupon, then go to
http://www.coupondede.com/
or
http://www.mycouponhunter.com/
to find the coupon and order it......you should get it in 4-5days....
so start with one store (shoprite is the best for me)
and make your list of what you want to buy.....
make a list of all the coupons you need...
order them
wait for them to come in the mail
go shopping and save that money!!!!!
It sounds like a lot, but in time you will become a PRO!!! And when you start seeing the savings...you'll wanto save even more!!
Let me know how you make out!
