Another thing that will happen is when you get your little baby stockpile started (SO much fun!) you'll notice that you get more and more picky.

We got a good deal on Suave bodywash our first week and bought about seven of them. Then I discovered Olay Body Ribbons which we like MUCH better and found a great deal that made them even less than the Suave!

Don't be discouraged when that happens--be excited! You're still saving money and finding good deals. (And as long as it's nonperishable you WILL use it at some point or can give it away in a pretty basket with other stuff.)

Also, don't buy stuff just because it's on sale or a Q is about to be expired. We really had to turn away from a razor deal at WG this week (buy the razor (had Qs) and get free blades) because we already have a ton of razors.

Ask plenty of questions--I'm new to this board but I belong to another one and I've found that deal hunters are very very very helpful. The addiction MUST BE SHARED! *insert cartoonish evil laugh here*

Don't forget to pick up several copies of the largest paper in your area. (The ones with the best Qs.) This will help you get lots of Qs fast. You can also trade for them, order them from services (you're paying for clipping and sorting time, not the Qs), and so forth to get a good stock.

Good luck! I've been doing this for a little over a month and it's helped us out so much already. You'll only be overwhelmed for a week or so--maybe two if you do CVS as well. =-)
