Thifty Thursday: Coupon Beginner Tips

My grocery shopping trip this past weekend, I was able to save 50% off of my bill with my coupons and store card. I did notice that I watched the cashier a little more closely to ensure that all dicounts were given. Each trip I get better and better. I believe that I had a coupon for every item that I purchased except for the fresh fruits and veggies. After last weeks shopping trip, my husband asked me," Are you bringing any more food home? Our freezers are full." I said "Good. We do not have to purchase any meat for a few months." While he was stating that, I was  thinking that we have another freezer in the garage that is not full if I need the additional space. I know when watching the couponing shows, they have their stockpiles all over the house, but I am not going to let mine get that way. I have a few shelves in the basement for my items. I know saving money is great, but you need to modify your purchases for what space that you have for your home.

I continue to look for coupon resources as I get more into couponing. I have seen Nathan on TLC Extreme Couponing and I was impressed with his methods. I have located Nathan's website, We Use Coupons and have found it very helpful. Check out below to see more tips for beginner couponers from Nathan.
