STEP 1 - order the newspaper. I didn't want to get overwhelmed with a ton of newspapers when I was just starting to figure out how it all works, so we ordered the Sunday paper and it came with the free Wednesday paper. Not too far from now we will order more Sunday papers.
STEP 2 - Couponsense.com -- After looking at all the different sites that help with couponing, couponsense made the most sense (no pun intended!) The way they have thing organized makes it so easy to see what the best deals out there are. It does have a monthly membership fee, but with first starting out, it is worth it. I need all the help I can get.
STEP 3 - Computer/Internet -- Tim and I didn't have a computer at our house, so no internet. Anytime we want to use the internet we have to go over to Kate's to use it. They are awesome to let us over all the time to use it. I could use my work one, but by the time I am done with work stuff, I don't want to spend anymore time at work. Last night we started looking for cheap laptops and we went over to Kate's to use her computer. I checked my bank account to see how much we could spend and found out I got my federal tax return, so we had enough to get the laptop we wanted. So here I sit in my home, on my laptop, now able to organize my shopping trips at my own leisure.
So, periodically I will post what I have saved on my shopping trips. Hopefully soon it will be a nice little chunk of money!
