couponing

I LOVE coupons. I never leave home without my coupon booklet. I'm not "extreme" but I love getting a good deal. Before leaving the house to get groceries I first make a list of the items I need and then check my coupon book for any matches. Then I check these four sites for coupons:

Target
Coupons.com
Red Plum
Smart Source

And I'm always checking up on Totally Target. There you will find all the deals for the week including match-ups. At Target you can use one Manufacturer coupon (MQ) and one Target coupon (TQ) for the same item (called "stacking") which allows for great deals. I often get things for free at Target.

If you're not couponing right now but you'd like to start, my biggest suggestion is only buy what you need. If there is a coupon for a cleaning product or food that you never use - don't clip or print it. That's why I make a list first - then start looking for coupons. That way I'm not tempted to buy extra.
