    NEWBIE Newbie here

    Hi,
    I'm a mother of 5 girls, married to a wonderful husband. I'm looking for ways to save money on our grocery bill. I've heard of the stories of paying pennies for $300 worth of groceries. I always thought that was crazy. My husband doesn't believe it either..lol. Really, I'm just looking for ways to get things cheaper. I recently found coupons.com and smartsource. Redplum comes in my mailbox every week so I clip those coupons. I saved about $5.00 at walmart..lol. I want to save more, so I'm here trying to learn all about couponing. I feel very much overwhelmed and have thought of giving up already when looking over the forums. Is this really doable? Please say yes. I really, really want to make this work for my family. :)

    I figure, I better start small. So do you have any advice for just beginning? I have a Winn Dixie card ( I shop there occasionally) and I go to Walmart once a week for almost everything. I also have a CVS and Walgreens not far from me. I'd greatly appreciate any advice and encouragement. Thanks so much.

    You've found the right place for info and help! Do start small! Always ask questions. People on here are so willing to help. Shaving off $$ is very doable. However, I think a lot of it is how much time you have to spend on it. Are you brand loyal to many products? Most of all, get connected on line or in real life with others wanting to pinch pennies! It really helps me keep up with the deals!

    Thank you both for your very nice welcome. :)
    Thanks also for the advice and tips. I'm not very brand loyal, in most cases I buy the cheapest. There are a few things that I usually buy a certain brand of, but I'm really flexible when it comes to that.
