Clip Tip
When you first begin couponing start slow and set a reasonable goal. Before you begin, determine how much you are spending on groceries each month. From there make a goal that you will save 10 percent. Once you reach that goal, increase it to 15 or 20 percent. If you expect to start out saving 90 to 95 percent on your very first shopping trip, then you may be sadly discouraged or frustrated with the process. Learning to coupon takes time and practice, and as you learn more your savings will increase. Be patient.
