Start small by clipping coupons from magazines for the items that you normally buy, or coupons from flyers in the mail for your local food store. I wouldn't suggest going on line until you get used to the procedure at the stores and seeing how much money you can save.

When you get used to the idea and how to use them, then go on Google and look at websites to print out coupons.

I'm assuming that you want to be like the extreme couponers on TV. The thing you should know about that show is that those people spend sometimes hundreds of dollars a month to buy the papers, magazines, etc, where those coupons are from. Some of them dumpster dive to get the coupons.

The next step is to go to the store, find out their policies, and then do the math. Most of those people spend around 8 hours a day just figuring out which coupons to take, how many items to buy, where to get the coupons, etc. just to make one trip to the store.

Obviously it's possible, but most people don't have the kind of time it requires to do the work these people do in order to save the money they do. It's not just clipping coupons. It's a full time job.

And many buy 5 months to a year or more of items at a time if they are a deal. So they need a room just to use for stored goods and a system to rotate things in and court.

Just using coupons are great, I save about 40 to 50 dollars a week using them ( plus my great senior discount) so grocrey shopping is a great time to get gradma to go with you, if your store has a senior discount day.

Many stores just don't double coupons, so you have to ask for the store, None of the 4 stores close to me double any coupons. And many have limits to the number of "deals" you can get.
