Coupons, what else!!!

This month's All You has some decent coupons - quite a few I don't use, if anyone needs anything, lmk.

THey also have an article about couponing (BIG shock - most mags and papers have important info to use now)

My thing is that I only coupon for what I need. I scour the net for qp's I can't get through circulars, I take full advantage of BOGO's and stack qp's with them whenever possible, I am serious about how I use and gain ECB's & Register Rewards in order to get more and payless.

The most difficult thing we qp for is our food. Since we are vegetarian (Most of us in our house) and do not eat a lot of processed or "junk" food, the qp's we typically find aren't as helpful to us as they may be for others. However, the other products we DO use - toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, feiminine care, shampoo, deodoramt, household items, etc... - mhave qp's a plenty and that is where we save the most money. Diapers and wipes (disposables and services) aren't cheap, but qp's and codes help out a LOT. 

It does take some work to get started and organization, knowledge and due diligence is VeRy necessary. It is worth it, though and when my whole family gets involved and the kids see how we stretch our dollars, they get excited to do the same and when they accomplish their goals and see how much they get and what cash they still have in their pocket - it is sooooooo worth it!!!
