Couponing & Budgeting - A great one for the "Newbies"

[queenofthehivemomof5]

Just just spent the day writting this blog post and wanted to post the link here in our Couponing Basics forum too. This is a really great (if I say so myself) blog post on breaking down the concept of slowly building your stockpile and staying within your budget. Rome was not built in a day and neither is your stockpile. And if you skip over the part about stockpiling you are not going to see the big savings. It IS one of the fundamental keys to couponing and saving money.

Here is the link: Couponing and Budgets

Please feel free to leave comments on the blog post and if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them in the comments there.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! This post saved my day (and possibly) my week! After getting frustrated at not matching coupons to sales; this article gave me the bigger picture! I am so thankful for all of you who put so much work and effort into this site!

I feel better about my smallish stockpile of hba items and many many many boxes of cereal now! :P

Ok bookmarking that and going back to read it over and over...I love the concept but the one thing that I may have a hard time with is finding anyplace to put the stockpile stuff.
