Beginner’s Guide to Couponing
I didn’t start using coupons regularly until August 2014. I started reading everything I could find to learn more about it and put into practice. I’m not an extreme couponer, but I will use a coupon if it’s for something I need. My favourite is when I can find something on sale that I need to buy AND I have a coupon. It’s a double whammy!
I’ve written quite a few posts on the subject over the last year and I’m sharing them all here in this resource, a Beginner’s Guide to Couponing, in case you missed them. I’ve also included a few other posts that I thought would be worth checking out too.

Do you use coupons when you shop?
This is a great guide to coupons.
I have been couponing for years and price matching at Walmart and using coupons on top of store coupons. I really like that I can use coupons and save money and do this every week! Thanks for the great tips on couponing,
I WANT to be a couponer, but it is so intimidating when I sit down to plan it all out.
Definitely some great information for those who are just beginning!
Thanks for this. I am saving the link in my inbox to refer back to again and again. Yes, I do coupon sporadically, but I am not very good at it which is why I don’t do it more often. I watch the ladies who do it well, and I sometimes I think that you have to have a really good mathematical mind with really good spatial skills to do well at couponing —
A great bit of information for me as food stuffs are much more expensive because of our low dollar I will begin to use much more.
like all the different tips on the best ways to coupon
I’ve moved away from the traditional coupon and moved more to the apps that give cash back like checkout51 and zweet etc…. I could never remember what coupons I had, it there was a sale for the, if they were expired etc. I also like coupgon as those are coupons on the phone for certain stores.
This is something I’m extremely interested in with the raising grocery prices.
These are some great tips, and will be very helpful especially with the cost of food going up so much lately!
Brilliant! I used to coupon and need to get back into it.
