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.
