introduction to coupons

Ok so I have had a few people ask me for my secrets to couponing and getting a good deal, figured I would start blogging some tips and things so everyone can see it, and I'm not messaging like 10 ppl the same thing lol. So here we go with part 1

Getting Started

First thing is find yourself a good binder, zipper ones with pockets are awesome for staying organized, followed by a mini calculator ($2.49 at RCSS) and some Baseball card protector things boys toy section at WM you get about 35 of them for 8 bucks. couple of pens.
Next you can start asking neighbors for their unused coupon inserts, do some recycle walks, have a look whenever you are out shopping for new coups. best place to get a few starters are here.... www.brandsaver.ca  WebsaverSave.ca  Go coupons.... no even if you think you won't use some order them, you can always trade them for ones you will use. or in my case I can put together a starter kit for you. If I have enough people interested I may ask a small fee to cover some costs.
Next I would get some store member cards, or things like Airmiles, Aeroplan etc. one of the best ones is a Shopper's Optimum Card but that will be a whole new subject later.
Now start out small, it can be a lot to take in even I am still learning the ropes. When shopping through RCSS always look for pink stickers in other words 50% off items, that gets better when you realize you have a coup for it, like yesterday I got 6 things of 50% off gillette hair products and used $15 dollars worth of coups so FREE.
When shopping anywhere look for clearence items, such a deal, if you can get out without kids and or hubby's do it, take your time browse price things in your head, is it a good deal, do you need it or can it wait til it's on sale. Things like that. Ok I am going to post a link to some abbriviations we use in the coupon world so you can understand lol. so check these out so maybe my posts will be a little less confusing lol
