Here are some Key rules to follow
 PLAN AHEAD

The more I spend in planning the smoother  the execution goes.

Here are some key websites

http://www.southernsavers.com/   Have coupon policies for a lot of Major Chains
- they even have a coupon data base

Personally, I order  at least 85% of my coupons

Coupons repeat every 4 weeks
sales every 6--8 weeks

Here are some safe websites
http://www.thecouponclippers.com/ New coupons come out on Saturday 
However, if you order New coupons on Saturday they will not be shipped until the following Tuesday
I like the fact that I can select and pick the quanity of the coupons I order

http://www.buycoupons.org/  

Both coupon websites have been on The Today Show Multiple times

I only order coupons for products that I already use

There is no sense in buying something that you already do not use.  Chances are if you don't already use  it unless its a new product you may not use it.

I like the fact that I can select and pick the quanity of the coupons I order.
Remember just because you have a coupon  if the funds are not there than don't get it.

I have a small coupon organizer  which I divided  into
Pantry
Meat
Staples
Diary

Hope this helps and  remember  its your dollar























This week was Tripple coupon week at Harris Teeter
Where they triple Coupons up to 99 cents
Normally they just double coupons up to 99 cents but not more than 20 coupons can be used per day
