Beginners Guide to Couponing

Many people tell me they would like to save money on groceries, but they don’t know where to start. With so many resources available nowadays, it can be overwhelming. This guide is a combination of my own advice for shoppers in my area (Oklahoma Panhandle/Southwest Kansas) as well as links to other couponing information for beginners. I will take it step-by-step with each lesson getting a little more complex. You can go as far as you want with these lessons. You can use coupons occasionally, you can use your skills to match sales to coupons, or you can go so far as to make this hobby like a career and spend time working on it every day. That is all up to you!
