What exactly is the coupon database for?
I have read a few post under coupon database. But I can not figure it out.
Can someone explain it too me or help me find the correct link for the "idiots guide to coupon database"?

Hi there,
No worries we were all in your shoes when we started..LOL heck sometime I am still there I DUH myself yet . The database is where you can search coupons, make a have list and or a wish list. you can search by coupon or scroll thru and see what is listed. It is a data base of most coupons available by all sources store tearpads, newspapers, blinkies ect.I see I am not explaining very well, but don't worry if I havent been of much help , I know more folks will stop by, everyone is very kind and helpful here.

The database lets you know where to find the coupons for items you are buying. I use it alot if I know something is on sale. I look in there to see where to find my coupons. Example. Every Sunday, i file my inserts in a file and label with the date.
Then I look in the database for what items I want to buy that week and it tells me which file to look in (by date) and which insert, Red plum or smart source. I am like pixidragon, I may not be explaining this well. It takes a while. Once you learn how to use it, it really has alot of info there. I would just take it a little at a time. Hope this helps a little. I am sure more people will respond and some people unlike me are better at explaining things. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the help. It does make more sense now.
But here is another question.
I file my coupons by clipping them and putting them in a binder by catagory.
That way I have them for easy search when I go to the store. Or sit with the add to make my list.
Now, is it easier to file them by inserts?
I usually have 4-6 inserts a week.
