So Many Coupons
With the economy in the shape that it is today, couponing has taken on a new meaning. Some people that never thought they would be couponing have started "clipping" coupons.
It is important to learn the ins and outs of couponing. When do you use coupons? Where do you find coupons? How much can you save with coupons? What do you do with the coupons after you clip them out? How long do you keep the coupons?
All of this sounds very basic, but there may be some out there that have never, ever clipped coupons and do not know where to begin.
That's ok...grab a cup of coffee and stay a while. You can find some very good couponing tips here.

Tips for Using Coupons
1. First you will have to collect or print off the coupons. Kinda obvious, huh. If you don't have any coupons saved up, then print some off from the links.2. It's always been easier for me to go ahead and cut them out and put them into categories. Some people get coupon filing album or pouches. I use envelopes and label them. Whichever works for you.
3. Make your grocery list and use the sales circulars with your coupons. Some stores will match other stores sales cirulars. This will save gas by not having to drive all over town.
4. Get a CVS Extra Care card and start earning Extra Bucks. By watching the circulars and using coupons, many items can be greatly reduced and even free.

When Not to Use Coupons
Is there ever a time when using a coupon is not a good thing? The answer is absolutely yes!!! Some storebrands or "generics" are just as good as the "real" thing. Sometimes you can save more money by buying the "generic" or store brand of a product instead of using a manufacturer's coupon.
Frugal Living
Living a frugal life is not all doom and gloom. Sacrifices are made in living a frugal lifestyle. There is no one set rule for living a frugal lifestyle. It is different to each person. To one person it may mean never going out to eat. To another it may mean going out to eat one time a week.Frugal living involves setting goals, making some tough decisions, saving money, and becoming debt free.
There is a wealth of information out there on frugal living. Check out some of the sites below.
