Here is a great book, that I am sure many of you will be interested in. I personally am so excited over this book! In our family my daughter (27) does most of the couponing for our family of eight. We seriously could use some help and hints and what do you know, The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing ($16.95) has just what we need. Especially with today's economy this would be a great addition to anyone's library.
The author of the book Rachel Singer Gordon writes the popular couponing blog MashupMom.com. Rachel is the author of nine other books. She teaches couponing and "saving online" classes in the Chcagoland area, averaging several classes a month.
There is a whole chapter on Debunking Couponing Myths. True or False: Couponing takes too much time? Or how about "Couponing leads to hoarding". The author proves these and many other myths to be false.
Another chapter I really enjoy is the Planning Your Shopping Trips, which covers Price Matching. We have just recently started this ourselves so we don't have to run to every store in town. Very tiring! We have two stores that price match as long as it is the same exact product and not a coupon for a product.
One neighbor will receive a copy of The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing. (Open to USA and Canada)

Don't clip them until you need them! I use couponmom.com to determine my list each week and what coupons will be needed.
I keep my coupon binder in my car so I always have it with me

Don't get overwhelmed. You don't have to go to every store to score every deal. Pick a store or two and clip the coupons for those deals only. It's also not "saving money" if you use coupons to buy things you won't ever use, so be smart about what you buy.
I'm just starting to try to use coupons more efficiently, but I would love to reduce our grocery bill for our family of 5.

When there are several coupon inserts in the Sunday newspapers, buy several extra copies of the paper.

I only buy as much as I need for my family until the next coupon comes out (about every 3 months) there is no reason to have 100 deodorants in your stockpile just because you got them for a few cents
Thank you for hosting this giveaway

I make my grocery list up from the sales circulars then I look for online coupons to use.

we keep them unclipped in date order in a stack. Makes it easier. Clipping takes a lot of time and if you are not using them all then it is a waste plus it is easier to organize and find them by date.

I would desperately love to learn the secrets behind couponing, my tip is to use coupons where there allow double coupons!

I keep my coupons with me all the time because I never know when I might run accross a sale that will be better with my coupons.

I would say organize them by the exp dates or just keep them unclipped and circle the dates.
You hear the term 'overwhelm' so often when people talk about couponing. I do clip them immediately, but only the ones that I expect to purchase. Those join the very small amount of coupons that go in my purse. When moved by a great deal I will sort out other coupons.
Always keep your coupons with you because you never know when you might need them : )
You do not have to always buy a product just because you have a coupon for.
I am just starting and would like to save some money.

A great tip is to find what works for you, BUT whatever your method...BE CONSISTENT.
make sure to get the smaller size with a big coupon

Don't buy what you don't need, BUT if you can get something for free and you don't need it, donate it to the local food bank.
