It looks like our group is growing on Facebook, how exciting!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in wanting to save but being a newbie and not to mention....so busy that this whole process needs not be my life!
Another set-up day today. Got my filebox going with hanging files, you could also use manila file folders if that's what you've got lying around. I took all of the Sunday ads and put them in a hanging file that I markered 1/3. (Tip: Only put in the ads that have coupons, all others can be discarded) This only took me 5 minutes.
My binder has been shipped by Amazon so it's on it's way!! I'd love to hear your comments....are you doing what I'm doing? Are you doing something different? Are you laughing at me yet? Do you think I'm a dork?

Hi Kristen,
I've been couponing for about a year and a half now and it is totally worth it!! We have been able to build up a food storage and after about 6 months or so we started saving about $75 to $100 a month on our grocery bill. I think it's great you are doing it!!

Thanks Jamie! I'm excited that you will be here to help! PLEASE give any and all input that you have, am I doing things right so far?
Intead of a hanging file I am using an acordian file that I got for only a few bucks at Target. I also invested a dollar on one of those "Easy" cutter things so I don't have to use scissors to cut my cupons.
Sounds like you are doing great Kristen. One thing you can do when you cut your coupons is to staple them together before you cut them. This makes it a lot faster and easier to organize. Just undo the staple right before you use it. I get 5 newspapers and it's a huge timesaver. --Jamie
