How I do it

I get lots of questions about how I save the amount of money that I save at the grocery store, so I decided to let you get a glimpse into our couponing/stock piling lives.

First, collect those coupons. Remember, I actually buy five newspapers total so that I can have five copies of each coupon. Sometimes I wish that I had more copies than that, but it is getting a bit out of control.

Next, you have to stockpile. IT IS KEY. I hear lots of people say, they didn't have anything that I needed. Which may be true, but it depends on what you mean by need. Do you mean that you will never need it, or you don't need it this week? I most likely will never need dog food, so I don't clip those coupons, and I don't buy it when it's on sale. On the other hand, I won't need toothpaste for a good three months, but one day I will need it, so when I can get it for free, I buy it, even if I don't need it that week. I intend to never pay for toiletries again. There is no need. Here is why.
