I know that couponing has been around for a while, and I know that there are a LOT of you out there that are total pro's at it. This lovely economy has hit HARD in the Olson Household and so I am trying every avenue that I can think of to save a buck. I have used coupons here and there, you know, a dollar off here and a dollar off there, but I REALLY want to save some money. I have seen some of your blogs about "Look at all of this stuff that I bought for $1.89!!" My question is HOW do you do it? My great friend and old roommate, Amber, was in town from California last week and taught me a little of her wisdom, she is REALLY good at this stuff. Now I want to hear from all of you. Give me advice, websites, blogs, tips, whatever!! What and how do you do it? Is it hard and overwhelming? Is it worth it? Is it time consuming? I think I could really like couponing and really get into it if I just had some guidance and felt like I was doing it right. There is your challenge - TEACH ME!! I really want to learn.
