What I have learned so far:
-Get several papers and keep the coupons until they expire!! (You can ask family member and/or neighbors for their ads.)
-You have to be flexible in brands. (For example, if you use pampers, but there is a good deal on huggies, you have to go for it!)
-Go to several different stores to get all the deals. (CVS, Target, Walgreens, RiteAid, Publix, Walmart)
-Sometimes in order to get the best deal, you have to buy a few extras that you might not use right away or even at all. Just save them for later or give them to someone who can use them!
-If you don't understand something, ask!! (I ask Magen and she rocks! Thanks girl!)
-There are a TON of websites you can go to that have scenarios galore. You can find them below. (Thanks again Magen!)

Oh fun! I have been doing it for several months now and am really enjoying it (and saving a ton)! I am so jealous that you have a Publix! Good Luck, Girl!
Good Luck!! I am sure you already know this, but do a little research to be sure you know the usual price for things you buy often and how much it is at each store {wipes, diapers, chicken, milk, etc}. It's amazing once you start watching to see how much the price of certain items will fluctuate in one store and how different the price of something can be at different stores. Someone told me to write down the 10 items you buy the most and check the price each week for a few weeks at your local stores to get a good idea of what the lowest price is. If you figure out a good way to organize your coupons, let me know! Anyway... have fun saving lots of moolah!!!
great tips, les! i'm horrible at remembering my coupons because i usually run into publix on my way from class. i really should start planning ahead and keep them in my car. i have a little plastic organizer that i keep them in... now just to remember to put them in my car. ha! miss you tons
