How To by Tana

Here's another post by Tana that describes a lot of how to -- She's loves writing..can you tell? She is so great at detailing it without it being boring...I've read a lot of sites that put me to sleep before I get to the good parts!

How To Start Couponing by Tana Wood

The Stockpile (as explained by Tana)

So Scott & Dave made a bit of fun of me on Saturday and joked that I probably have 40 pounds of mayo just because I have a coupon....HaHa....I do have some stockpiles, but I acquired them with expiration dates and rate of use in mind. So many of the things Tana describes in her post, I have as well, but I'm kind of shocked at how fast you really do go through some of these things and why it's so cool I bought most of them for great deals or FREE!

She describes the whole thing so well....and even if you are somewhere that doesn't have doubles or triples, unless you shop at Aldis (the world's cheapest grocery store) for every single solitary thing you buy, you can still take advantage of coupons. You can get away with not paying full price even at "big blue" (my company's competition) or a grocery store. Though, I hope you're getting them from a grocery store or SuperTarget....Shopping at Big Blue frightens me....it's usually a scary experience...I only go there once a year.

Check out her short explanation.
(Tana, I'm going to mooch a lot from you when you do this! :)

The people who do those blogs are seriously dedicated...I can only mooch from them!

I'm trying to add Smart Source also, but blogger is being a jerk right now.

Reservation Rewards continued

Ok, so it's not free...free trial membership, but then there is a monthly fee...depending on what you use it for, probably still worth it!
