Stockpile and Couponing 101

Here are a few tips for starting to coupon and stockpile.

1) Always match sales with coupons for your best money saving advantages.
2) Stockpile on things that are either cheap or free. Don't stockpile just because you have a coupon.
3) It is better to throw away a coupon than using it just because it is getting ready to expire. If it's not a great deal or you don't need it then don't buy it.
4) Arrange your meal planning around what is on sale. Stock up on meat when it is at a low price.
5) Trade coupons that you don't need for coupons you do. A great trade website is www.afullcup.com.
6) Sign up for newsletters from companies that you buy their products. Most will send really good coupons in the mail or via email.
7) Sign up for websites that send things for you to try out. A few great ones are www.houseparty.com , www.vocalpoint.com , www.bzzagent.com , and www.kraftfirsttaste.com .
8) Create a coupon binder for carrying all your coupons. There are posting videos for this on www.youtube.com.
