When I first started couponing I bought 5 newspaper every Sunday. I purchase my newspapers from a local convinience store such as Stripes. Check for inserts before purchasing the newspaper.
Then I quickly started orginizing in my 3in ring binder that I got at Target with coupons like this one. I used the baseball card inserts that Target has and I also used plastic dividers to label all my sections into, Baby, Bathroom, Condiments, Canned, Frozen, Hygeine, etc.
Every Sunday after I get my coupons I cut, staple and organize them inside the Baseball card insert plastic sheets.
I look for deals on the weekly ads that the newspaper has and then I match with the coupons I have and start doing a scenario.
I shop at HEB Grocery mostly because they specialize in just that, Groceries! Plus I hate wasting my gas on going store to store and ending up finding the shelves empty. So what I recommend is having all your coupons cut and organized and making your list on stores you plan on visiting each week. Best if you plan on Sunday.
Great idea. Thanks for the advice. I have always been fascinated with the couponing show and have always wanted to try it.
