• Sales/Coupons are seasonal.  i.e: You can get great deals on picnic items in the summer, sweets after holidays, baking goods just before the holiday season...
• Most stores double and even triple your coupons. Usually the coupon is not to exceed .50 cents, but the point is NO COUPON IS TOO SMALL. Don't think a .40 cent coupon is a waste, it is actually worth .80 or $1.20!
• You can use more than 1 coupon on an item, referred to as "stacking".
• You can not use multiple copies of the exact same coupon, but you can use a retail, manufacturers and a "peelie"....
• A "peelie" is a coupon that is attached to merchandise in the store designed to be used at that time.

It really is very easy and soooo worth your time. Don't tell yourself that you do not have time, do you have time to watch tv?  (The word multitasking comes to mind )  I spend maybe 30 minutes a week getting my coupons together before each shopping trip and I know first hand that the time spent is well worth it.  Honestly, I do not have time every single day to devote to coupons, but when I see one I print/clip it and add it to "the pile".  Prior to each trip I cut them (if neccessary) and lay them on my kitchen table to play "the matching game".  If I have more than one coupon for a product I have a match and I stack them   Once all my "cards" are laid out on the table I put them in order based of my normal route in my local grocery store.  Produce, bread, condiments, jams, jellys, canned veggies, pasta, boxed dinners, soup..ect. As I am going through the aisles I check my corresponding coupons.  If the item is on sale and I have a coupon(s) I get it and place the coupon in a new stack, if not I put it in the back of the "deck" to be used in the future.  If there is an item that I need I buy it, if it can wait I wait.  Simple.  This is my normal ritual and it works for me.  Sure, sometimes I get a glare from the people behind me in line or a rude sigh from the cashier when they see my stack of coupons, but they don't pay my bills.  Most of the time, the cashier and/or the people in line are impressed when they see the substantial savings!

Be sure to check back with me often for all the current deals and before every visit to the grocery store.  I always post when new coupons are available at the coupon sites, but you can always find them on my sidebar.  Look to the left on my homepage
