Is anyone one of those extreme coupon clippers?

I want to learn how to clip coupon's but have no idea how to get started. I always see people blogging about how they got a ton of groceries for cheap by using coupons, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Google has failed me, can anyone on here help?

Nope, but I wish I could learn.  Just don't have the patience for it.  Plus I think people in NY are just so darn impatient that they'd maul you down at the register when you took the stack of coupons out.  LOL!

I don't doubt it. I love new york, but all of my friends there are impatient, and rather rude at times. I miss it there :0)

I get coupons from the Sunday paper and you can print them from coupons.com and redplum.com. You can also get coupons loaded on your grocery card via shortcuts.com.

You also have to try and not be brand loyal to get the best price. That is the hardest part for me. Like last week Cottonelle TP was on sale and there was a 50 cent off coupon in the paper and my store will double up to a $1 so I could get the tp for a dollar off. So I got it - hate it -miss my Quilted Northern! LOL.

Also blogs like Money Saving mom and others will coupon match certain stores which helps with saving too.

I am far from a super clipper, but I was proud this week when I saved $20 via coupons combined with $50+ in sale savings at the store.

I'm not as good as those moms on TV who get $150 in groceries for $10, but I do have a few tips.  You can get some online on sites like www.couponmom.com or going to the website for the product you are interested in.  

Combining manufacturer coupons with store coupons is really the best, or using manufacturer coupons on clearance items.  And for the grocery store, use manufacturer coupons when items are on sale.  Some grocery stores also let you double coupons, so take advantage of that.  

Check out the SAHM board, there are often postings about this and if you look back you should find a lot of tips!

I am. I am actually a bit obsessive about them

Not only do they save us $$, they are my hobby....

I get my coupons in the Sunday paper. I pair the coupons with what is on sale, and buy those items. Lots of stores run sales on the items in each week's coupon pack. Plus, my market doubles coupons, so I get lots of good deals.

I  buy the Target store brands since they are usually cheaper than name brands at Wal-Mart but just as good. I can't stand Wal-Marts store brand, it's super cheap and it taste like it. I plan our meals based on the Target sales ad and only use coupons for the things we need. The Target by my house has organic fruits and veggies since our farmer's market won't reopen till spring. We are actually saving money and eating better.
