Getting Started Guides

Are you new to the world of couponing?  I hope you will find all the information you need to get started.  Here are some helpful guides that can answer questions.

About Me:

I am a stay at home mom of 3 little folks that are 4 and under.  My family started couponing to help us pay off a loan.  I thought it would be temporary, but after one trip to CVS where I saved $100 and spent 25 cents I was hooked!!  Now I can never go back.  We now have more food in the pantry than ever before and we spend over $400 less a month.

If buying groceries for pennies sounds to good to be true, look through some of our deal lists to see how it can be done and then go to the guides below and the Extreme Couponer: 101 series to begin learning just how you can do it!!
