So I started couponing a little over a year ago after becoming a full time mom. It has certainly helped the budget a lot and helps us to afford the little luxuries that might be neglected otherwise. And by luxuries I mean the name brand toothpaste, the better toilet paper and lots of snack foods. I agree with the opinion that couponing can be a waste of time for people who don't buy "junk foods" or prepackaged items but if you are going to buy this stuff, better that you get it for free and spend your money on the quality items like produce and meat. And there is a lot to be said for creating a "stockpile" when prices are low. Now I do not go out and spent $4 a box for cereal and it is such a pleasure to go into the pantry and realize that yes, I do have another jar of peanut butter and don't have to make an emergency trip to the store. I was getting so frustrated when I would check my favorite coupon websites, diligently print order and organize my coupons only to get to the store and find my local store didn't have the same deals. Finally I did find some good sites that are in my area but still some deals don't work out or prices vary or coupon policies are different from store to store. So hopefully you can use my experiences to help save a little money and time. I will post the deals that have actually worked for me and maybe a few extras. Enjoy!
