Newspapers-Subscribe or begin getting copies to your local paper. The papers will be your means for getting coupons to score the great deals you read about on my site. How many papers to get? I usually get between 2-5 papers a week. It depends on what coupons are coming out this week. You can find a preview for weekly coupons here. When you first start couponing, I would recommend getting between 4-5 papers so that you are able to build your stockpile of items.

Organize your coupons-You will soon realize that you will be overwhelmed with the amount of coupons you have. I organize my coupons in file folders, where I will label the folders with the date. When coupons are referenced on blogs they will tell you what weekly insert you can find a particular coupon. To find coupons easily, you will need to organize by week.
Don't cut coupons weekly-This may sound strange, but I will determine my grocery list for the store before I leave the house. I will also match up the coupons I need with the items I will be buying. This way I do not have to spend time cutting and organizing my coupons. There are different sites that have coupon databases if you want to find out if a particular item has a matching coupon. My favorite site is A Full Cup.
Store Reward Cards-Make sure you go and register for a CVS Extra Care Card if you don't already have one. Also register at your local grocery stores for reward cards as well.
Stockpiling- When you are able to match a coupon with a sale item you can often find items for free or very cheap. This is when you want to stockpile. Creating a stockpile will allow you to stock up on items so that you do not have to pay full price.
I like to stockpile items that are not perishable such as paper towels and aluminum foil. I also will stockpile cleaning supplies.
Another great thing to stockpile is your toiletry items. CVS & Walgreens has great deals on these items throughout the year.
