I've been posting on people's blogs for years. Member of Facebook too. I finally feel God leading me in the path of teaching more than the occasional coupon class of friends. My two greatest joys from those occasional classes are two friends who took it and ran with it. One is another teacher and also mom of two small children. She and I keep each other updated on diaper and formula deals. She does better than I do a lot of the time. So proud of Sandra! The other is my best friend Rachel. On again / of again working mom of four and wife of an often on the road sports reporter. They are an amazing family and she does a great job of balancing school, work, travel, and a TON of after school clubs and sports for the kids. How she still finds time to coupon is amazing.
Couponing takes planning a dedication. You don't have to get every deal--you don't need all of it, you'd probably break your budget and you'd also run out of space. The ideal is to know the things you use the most of and do your best not to pay full price for them anymore. It WILL take time to grasp everything but that's ok. Stay motivated and work one store at a time. I learned Kroger first, moved on to Walgreens and then CVS. The occasional trip to Memphis to see family meant I got to try my hand at Target too. There have been MANY deals that did not work like I wanted them to but it's ok. I still spent less than I would have so I learned to remain thankful for the blessings God has given.
Don't forget to ask questions on blogs-mine as well as those that follow posts on the websites that I've given you in the workshop. Most couponers like to help out others frequently. :) Good luck and be sure to keep me updated on great shopping trips!!
