[blparent] couponing, etc.

[Veronica Smith]

I personally thought it took up a lot of time, printing, brailling and
sorting.  You guys are abvitious.  Good luck!

Hi, I am doing this also and here is what I know. First get a box and put 
dividers in it. I just used card stalk with dividers that I've labeled. Some

things like cereal I just have cereal, but some things I have by brand like 
Craft. Everything is devided so when I'm on the soup isle I can look and see

what I have for soup coupons, and compare to what is on sale. Ideally you 
want to use a coupon for something that is already on sale. If your store 
doubles than that is even more awesome as with on sale and doubling your 
coupon you can get things including cereal for .20 to about $1 or so. Great 
way to feed the family for less.

As for getting them I mainly only use printable coupons. My favorites are 
www.coupons.com, Saving with Shelly, and Money saving mom. There are many 
blogs. Mainly they find the deals and tell you how and where to go to get 
them. If you ever go to a printable coupon and it doesn't have a print 
bouton just click the top link of gibberish often says graphic and a bunch 
of numbers. Click and it should print. Some sites require you to install a 
coupon printer, but the 2 main coupon printers work for all the sites and 
don't cause any problems on the computer.

You still run into the cutting problem as the ones you print will be on 
large sheets of several, but at least they are cutting what you want for you

to file. I have found 10 and up aged children can cut this simple stuff and 
can read well enough to tell me so I can file it. They like a bit of extra 
money.

Last I've signed up with the brand sites I like and they send me emails when

they have new offers also.

Good luck and let me know if I can help.
