[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424830, member: 4964"] I'm an mid-extreme couponer - there are MAJOR rules you have to follow or you will get SKREWED royally. This is why I am a mid-extreme couponer. Things you do not know about extreme couponers - First off their secrets are VERY guarded The food coupons go in cycles as well as the ads - when all the secrets get out and you learn the system? The food chains change the cycles. NO KIDDING. ALSO - IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS - KNOW THIS - You will have 30 bags of PASTA and 10 jars of sauce for 3 months time - the stuff goes in cycles. SO BUY ACCORDINGLY AND COUPON ACCORDINGLY - WHEN DF SAW ME come home for the first time with 30 bags of noodles he flipped - but they didn't go on sale again or coupons come out again - FOR FOUR MONTHS - and guess what? THEN the coupons came back out and the noodles were on sale again - and by then? ALL .16 cent a bag noodles were GONE - well 15 of them were .16 cents and the other 16 were FREE. yeah - so THEY have to keep their nose out of it - and YOU have to find a place to stash 30 bags of noodles. NOT EASY .......AND THEN you have to worry about MICE...What's lost to pests wasn't a deal anyway. I have stuff in tupperware tubs. I also call out SWAPS...I have this what do you have. Worked okay until people brough outdated junk for my good stuff. No more of that. They have up to 4 and 5 printers in their homes, they know how to use printers at work, have their friends use their printers use coupon trains and go to coupon train meetings at libraries. Most will buy coupons on line too - (didn't know that did you - you can buy coupons on amazon, ebay) and for .10 a coupon for a .75 off coupon - you still make money. (yes I know you are welcome lol) Find a reputable place, but KNOW your ads ahead of time our you can buy coupons that will be out of date, not match your ads. You can find places on line that will PRE-Advertise your ads so you can know whats coming up and match ads to coupons. Also there are places on line that will pre -advertise coupons. Binders take a lot of extra time to clip to right size and I've done it - I have one - it's a waste of my time - I use a shoe box. I also have 3 boxes - box 1 - stuff I use for food box 2 -stuff I use for non-food box 3 - coupons I probably don't use but MAY use coming up for fillers or FREEBIES - on 'deals" envelope - give away coupons - stuff I absolutely positively know I will never use and even if there was a freebie deal? I wouldn't do the deal just to get the get. I also have a box in my pantry of things that I get as freebies to get freebies I can use - and those freebies go to the Harvest hope food bank.
