Frighteningly New Newbie from NY

[TheMimi]

Just started to look for coupons and savings after reading an article in the Wall Street Journal and am both "amazed" at the possibilities and "appalled" at my ignorance. I have so much to learn and so little time to spend learning. I might have tackled too much since I'm trying to do menu planning, stockpiling, couponing, pricebook, recipes all at the same time. I can see that this is all smart, savvy, genious but it's also overwhelming at the beginning. (And to add insult to injury, my family if very fussy, which I will work on in due course).
Hi everybody . . . and help!:hectic1:

Hi & welcome! Yes its alot of info all at once. Take your time, read the newbie thread & pick maybe one grocery store that you go to and read thru that thread.
Dont try to do all those things at once - baby steps!
There are alot of very helpful people here. Glad you found us. :)

Welcome! I agree with Buddysmom - baby steps!
Don't try to do it all at once. Forget the drug stores until you have mastered a grocery store or two. Keep all your inserts until they expire, you just never know when something is going on sale.
Have fun!
