i'm a little frustrated with couponing. I have been able to get really good deals but only because i saw it here on AFC. Math has never been my forte and i see these long shopping lists and coupons used to get these really great deals and i just don't know how its done. I need to see almost step by step instructions to be able to follow what's being done and why. I normally get 2 newspapers--2 more if the deals are very good or if its stuff i need/want to try, etc. but again only if i saw it here first. Its a little overwhelming and have made mistakes which has been discouraging. But because i want to make coupons work for my family and I, I'm here asking for help. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hun, thats great that you are utilizing AFC and finding ways on here to save. My question is- did you want to have the input of a lot of people? If so i can move this to Ask the Savings Experts! So more than just the Moderators and Admins will see this. Just let me know

I think it can be overwhelming for everyone when first getting started! It is ok. We pride ourselves on being a helpful and friendly community of members, and we are always willing to help. One way that helps some people get started is to just pick one or two local stores and follow those forums really closely. That way, you can get a better idea of how people are combining coupons and sales. Also, most of our stores have a Shopping List feature which is a list of current sales matched with any coupons. This makes it easy to see what is on sale, what is a great deal, and what coupons might be available on the item. You can find the Shopping List link at the top of most of the store forum pages. Do you have other specific questions that we can help with? Feel free to ask away, and don't get discouraged. It takes a little time to "learn" how to maximize your savings, but once you get the hang of it, it is so easy (and addicting!).

I have a lot of expired coupons from may 2009 up until now that i have not been able to use. Is there anyone who takes these, because i don't want to throw them away before I know for sure that no one is able to use them. They come from all the Smart Source, Red Plum and P&G in the sunday paper here in california.

You can put the expired's up for grabs in the RAOK forum, someone will gladly take them off your hands!
