(it's kind of long but worth it!)<br /><br />The first thing I did was gather a good amount of coupons. I would buy the Sunday paper and get the inserts from that (now I buy 2 each week). I also print a lot of my coupons from various sites like coupons.com. Then after a couple weeks of collecting coupons, look through the store flyers and try to match up the deals. I use coupons at Stop and Shop too but I probably save anywhere from $2-$10 per visit on average, sometimes its a lot more and sometimes less. The best thing to do is to check out stores coupon policies as well. I use a binder to organize my coupons by type but you could always start by collecting ones you know you will use in a box or something. <br /><br />Hope that helps!!Shellanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960538476302591583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582423198949078318.post-89506233664386954342012-06-29T19:09:45.208-04:002012-06-29T19:09:45.208-04:00Nice deals... do you have any tips for Jen and me ...Nice deals... do you have any tips for Jen and me to get started on couponing?
