Hello everyone! I have been using coupons for about 5 months now and I know I am doing things wrong lol. I feel stupid but I have been googling the crud out of how to do this right. I do not understand exactly how to double coupons, combine coupons, most say they cant be doubled or used with any other coupon or offer... I also need help getting coupons and orgonizing them. I have a 14 month old son and need to save money badly... Im down to 4-12 hours a week at work... right now I have maybe 200 coupons from the internet and from my neighbors newspaper (lol) and have them orgonized(ish) by experation in a 12 month binder... I need ot get searious about this... Please help!!!!

Usually I dont organize by expiration dates...I organized by category...Snacks, breakfast, hair care, oral care etc.....Its much easier that way! When a store doubles a coupon it doubles or some stores only double up to $1 which means if you have a .75 off coupon it will only double up to $1 but if a store says they double up to .99 then they will doublle a .75 coupon up to $1.50...There is a forum on here under couponing basics I think that is extremely helpful...You can find alot of answers there about doubling and bogo coupons...I hope you find what your lookin for because I kno couponing will help you in your situation...PM me if you need any more help

I was looking at the whole orginozation thing and like the binder idea, however a lot of my coupons are very small, like 1/2" x 3" ones i pulled off of product and it just seems like it would all bunch up on the bottom, idk I need a good system. Any tips on where to get coupons besides the net? I get a paper but obviously 1 coupon doesnt go far.
