help needed

[mzkristy04]

Im a recently seperated single mother of four. Im actually in the process of an divorce and dont expect much help with the children. So my life has been a whirlwind to say the least. Couponing is definately something that is essential to rebuilding my family and anyone that would be willing to help show me the ropes or give a small piece of advice would be more than greatly apprieciated.

I'd say the first step is figuring out what grocery stores are close enough for you to visit (whether you decide 5 miles or 20 miles- that's up to you). Then call them and see if they double/triple and ask about their policies. Make sure you write all of that down for each store. Doubles and triples are usually where the deals are at! Get the weekly circular every week (can usually be found online, except for local stores), and scour for sales and deals.

I would pick 1-2 drugstores and 2 or so grocery stores. Follow their threads here, learn the coupon policies, limits on coupons, etc. There are frequently match ups in the forums for you to get great sales with. There is an extensive coupon database also, so you should create a wishlist of coupons after you join traders in trading group (if you are interested in that) and you can join trains then as well to trade out/get new coupons.
Start out slow. Read as much as you can. The process can be overwelming at first, but you'll get there.
If you have any questions, please ask! We were all new at one point.

Again, Welcome!!
