cc (coupon coach-ess!)

How'd you do Sunday with clipping?

Well, I've only clipped out part of my coupons as I'm going to start a coupon match-up for Hannaford, Shaw's & IGA for my regional readers. So... that means I need to keep track of every coupon- which I'm going to do in a spreadsheet.

But I hope you don't get discouraged- this was a BIG coupon week so it may be a bit overwhelming. Did you find a master stash container and a working stash holder? If you need help, let me know.

Even if you are more AWARE of certain things I'm discussing here that is SO awesome b/c it really does help!

Here we go.........

Happy Tuesday, my readers, and thank you for just being you!!

How to do 'coupon match-ups'

Now that you've cut out your coupons and have your flyers. What now?

Coupon match-ups are what you do with your coupons and your flyers. But there are blog and/or websites that people have done it for you- isn't that a beautiful thing????

I mainly follow matchups for Walgreen's, CVS and Rite-Aid but you can find blogs for any other store in most states. The following websites are seasoned shoppers and I have learned so much from them! Please leave them a comment letting them how you found them.

A couple of my favs:

For those regional readers (mostly New England), I will be doing my own coupon match-ups for Hannaford, IGA (yes, we still have one here!) and Shaw's, starting with Hannaford so stay connnected with me.
