About a year ago I decided to get serous about saving money. The year before my family of 3 had spent over $18000.00 on groceries , household items, and pet food. Once I had tallied up my expenditures in Quicken I realized I need to make a change. I joined a site Hot Coupon World . Its a site with a wealth of information from thousands of members on how to save money with coupons and rebates from all the local and national stores of all kinds. Its a bit overwhelming when you first start, there is a lot of reading.
I suggest to sign up, it's free, and then pick one store you shop at. Read the current weekly ad preview. Don't get discouraged, there is a lot of lingo that may not make since at first but once you start reading the forum it will come quickly. I would also encourage you to subscribe to or pick up a Sunday newspaper.
It will take a few weeks to get the hang of it, to accumulate coupons, but it will come. The joy comes when you go to the store you and have stretched teh value of your dollar.
