[QUOTE="Star*, post: 425142, member: 4964"] Just a suggestion - because I made a LOT of rookie mistakes - CUT ONLY the coupons you NEED for that week - PRINT ----coupons for stuff you like and MIGHT use. NOT ALL of them. When I started? I clipped, cut, trimmed coupons for hours and hours thinking - OH I might need that or that or that. Naught ah. Now I get the paper - write the date ON THE FRONT of that coupon pack/papers - and set it in a folder. Of course I go through them and cut the ones I KNOW i need right away that match my needs list. The rest? I cut whenever - watching tv show - or whatever free time I have. I also have coupon trains - and let me tell you DO NOT let those envelopes set. GO through them as you get them - MAKE TIME. Pick out the ones you want - then put the others in an envelope - and SEND THEM OUT THAT DAY. Or if you swap - do the same but SWAP. I love my BCC best coupon cutters - for doing this and my trains love me for it too. For example - I KNOW I won't ever use diaper coupons - or frozen pizzas like totinos or makeup - those go right in the envelope. Now - sometimes you may need or think you need those make up things for the "make money" deals - but I am of the mind - If I need them to MAKE my deal? I really didn't need that deal. So I just move on. I'm not really into the drug store game - of making money -unless I know there is a bath soap, razors or deoderant coming up I want. If it doesn't? Cest lavi Also - Target is awesome about stacking coupons. I live for blinkies. Although since the show? I've noticed fewer and fewer machines. [/QUOTE]
