Coupon Newbies
June 10th, 2009
When I first began clipping coupons, I quickly got frustrated with it because I would have a huge mess spread all over my table and kitchen. Searching through piles and piles of coupons I felt I would never use and getting no where. I knew I had to do something.
First thing you need to do is organize your coupons. You will need to find a way that is best for you. I have tried several different methods but I finally narrowed it down to a coupon wallet. This will save you SO much time. Keep them separated from SS, RP, Internet, etc and date them. This makes expiration dates easier to determine and easier to look up additional coupons on the internet.
