If you are new to couponing my tip Number 1 is start collecting coupons. I get the KC Star delivered ($26 for 6 months of the weekend papers) and also have neighbors and co-workers that give me their coupon inserts (I give them free items in exchange) to get more than one of each coupon. There are a lot of online resources that discuss the deals each week. You can link to Shannon's blog or MoneySavingMom from my links section - from there link to many other blogs of couponers. Tip number 2 is get organized. Find a good way for you to sort and organize your coupons. I also find is very beneficial to spend time planning my trips for each week - pulling out the coupons I plan to use and putting them in a separate envelope.

This is so neat - a money saving hobby rather than an expense. Fun to plan and execute good plans.
