How to Become a Coupon Addict

It all started when one of daughters boasted about how much she saved at the Grocery store, and all the freebies she got!!
I thought to myself, why not me! 
  1. Purchase multiple sunday papers
  2. remove inserts and staple like pages together to form a book
  3. Check weekly grocery ads
  4. Make a list of sale items that have coupons that match up
  5. cut out coupons
  6. trip plan with my navigator to different Grocery stores
  7. give myself enough time to spend at each store to accomplish my mission. (it's a good idea to get a store map, usually there will be one towards the front of store.
  8. make sure not to shop on an empty stomach-Or you might be tempted to grab a sandwich at the deli, and forget to pay for it at check out!! that could ruin your whole joy of savings, once you have to post bail!! goodness sakes!
  9. Bring cold storage containers , and even bring them into store, so to pack the frozen and refrig items in right away.
  10. Oh, last but not least.  Make sure to know each stores coupon policys, so not to find out the hard way, like this finally frugal Gal did!!
  11.  nuff said ;-) for now...  Hope this helps at least some .. $$$
