Getting started

Hi there! For those that don't know me, my name is Theresa- I have a full time job and a busy family with a husband and 3 kids.  Our grocery bills can easily top 600 plus a month. I have recently been working on conquering that bill with coupons that I find online, in newspapers and junk mail Wednesdays. I have had a few people ask me how I go about saving so much money, so I thought why not start a blog and post the savings that I find on here with the sites/coupons that I locate. This is my first blog - so I will try to be as detailed as possible.
Here is what I did to get started- I buy 2 Sunday papers, subscribe to coupon sites and print out coupons that are new. I will put the printable coupon links that I use on here in the next few days. But you would want to get some kind of binder or holder for your coupons. Go to the store and write down the grocery aisles in order so you know the order your coupon book should be in. Once you have all that set up you can then start to set up your book and organize your coupons. *Its very important to be organized with coupons, if you go to the store and its not organized you will fill frazzled and it will take a lot longer than you want it to.   Since the grocery ads are getting ready to come out for Wednesday's new sales I will start posting the sales for those ads once they come out.
So keep an eye out for more to come
