This is the last step in my "12 steps to couponing" program. So consider yourself graduated! Next week we will have a review.
The first time you save more than you spend, get a freebies, or even get paid to take something home, is exhilerating! You will be wanting to hit every store in town to cash in on the great deals. My recommendation however, is DON'T! Several $25-50 trips at several stores will still blow your budget no matter how many "great deals" you are getting. Your time and energy is also important so spend it wisely. Set a limit for yourself and stick to it. You will have less burnout and learn the couponing system faster. This is hard to do and I am still working on it.
Such good advice. I struggle with this as well. I think I need to stay away from my blog reading for a few weeks and work on organizing my coupon stash instead.
