Hi everyone, I just stumbled across this website yesterday by looking for coupons for baby products (diapers, formula, wipes, etc) and I found target coupons for wipes. I have no idea how to begin to use this site, where to go to look for baby products. Any help would greatly be appreciated. There is just so much on here. I love it though. Keeps you busy most of the day. Thank god I'm a stay at home mom. ha ha...

Welcome! One of the best resources on HCW is our coupon database (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/coupon.php). If you didn't look there yet, check it out! It is driven by members so every single coupon that exists out there might not appear, but I bet most of em do!
You can search by category or by description to find coupons you're looking for. Some are printable, some are not.
Also check out the "resources (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/resources)" tab for more great stuff!
You should also check out the store forums (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/index.php#swingin-deals)for stores you shop at and you can find out what deals and sales are happening (sometimes in advance).
Lastly, I'll just put a little plug in here for trading. If you want to get your hands on some of the cool coupons you see listed in the database, you can trade for them. Join up as a trader in training (http://hotcouponworld.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups)and learn how! It's lots of fun and a great way to get coupons that you can't get in your area!
have fun!
Tara

Just pick one grocery store and one drug store to start. It gets overwhelming trying to figure out which stores and which deals to run.
Pick two then look them up in the grocery store and drug store section. Alot of people will post the deals they have found and tell you where to find the coupons.

It does seem like a foreign language at first. I would add to Benichole's suggestions to read through the Getting Started forum. And don't be shy about asking questions. We are a real community here and really help each other out.
