I have never couponed before...but I really want to. I am totally new to this but I don't know where to start. Can anyone help me out? I'm so confused! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

My first suggestion - start cutting coupons for items that you normally buy with or without a coupon. (we always buy silk soy milk, so I am always stocked on coupons for it). Another suggestion - post a wishlist on the wishlist forum so that we can see what you are looking for. Members can trade coupons with you or send an RAOK (Random Act of Kindness) of coupons to get you started. Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions

to start buy the sunday paper and clip those... also look around in the stores for coupons... they have those lil red machines (blinkie machines) that dispense coupons. It will only take a couple weeks before you have a stack of coupons...

NOTE: Coupons are not put out on holiday weekends....

Haley, thank you for asking that question. I also am new and I am feeling like a country girl that has just come to the city. I think it is going to take me all afternoon just to travel around this site to get the feel of it. Thank you all who answered Haley's question. It is helping me also.

Another great way to get coupons is printable ones. There are several available in the printable coupons forum under the bargain center. I especially like the Betty Crocker ones. You will want to make sure your store accepts printable coupons. Many stores like Target and CVS do. Some grocery stores do not.

Another option is under the coupons forum there are lists for company e-mails where you can e-mail your favorite companies, complement them and request coupons - it seems like some people have great success with that.
