How I Started Couponing

1) Buy a 3 ring binder and plastic sheets designed to hold trading cards. 2) Buy coupon inserts. I never buy Sundays paper. I go to a website that sell the insert only and I purchase 15 each week. Ex: okcouponguy.com 3) Follow other couponers on FB, Instagram, or a website for guidance and tips. Join a site that will provide guidance and tips. Ex: couponmom & moola savings mom. (my sister is my coupon buddy) 4) Plan your trip. Find out who had the sales and match that sale with your coupons to maximize savings. (Learn each stores coupon policy). *There's more to this. You can email me at damionlbailey.com and I will answer detailed questions.
