Coupons
-You need to start off by collecting coupons. You can do so by buying Sunday paper, asking family,friends & coworkers for coupons they don't use.
-Check sites such as Coupons.com, smartsource.com & redplum.com for great printable coupons. Usually a limit of 2 prints per like coupon.
-After you've collected your coupons then what??
Check out our Binder Organization on how to get all those coupons you've been collecting organized
~Now you have all your coupons ready to go. Now to get the best deals you need to match the sales ad with the coupons you have.
Example:
CVS has Crest Toothpaste for $1.99
Use your $1 coupon
Making it $.99
BUT wait cvs is also offering $1 ECB (Extra Care Bucks) when you buy Crest, making it FREE
Stockpiling
* You've been hearing or seeing on Extreme Couponing on TLC everyone's HUGE stockpiles, well that usually isn't typical. Yes stockpiling is the purpose to couponing at a reasonable means. Stock up enough to last your family about 6 months. Products will go on sale again & you will be able to get them cheap/free. Sales usually come back around in a 12 week period.
Donating
* Here at Extreme Southern Couponing deeply believe in donating. It doesn't have to be to a big organaztion. You can donate to ANYONE. It may be to a family from church that needs it. Or your local school, pet shelter. If you can get an item for cheap to free & you know your family isn't going to ever use it, then it's the perfect item to donate. Many tell me "I don't have but a few things to donate, is it worth it"? Yes no matter what size/amount your donation is, whoever is recieving said items it will mean the world to them.
