my hobbies & WAGDW 6

i've been getting a lot of questions about how to start couponing and why i do it. also, i've heard that people have been referred here (to which again, i apologize for not being as vigilent about updating). i suppose i should clarify, when i say a lot, i mean like 5. hahaha.

anyway, i've updated the blog on what my folder looks like. my goal is to do a step by step post so you can see HOW EASY it really is! :) on the actually clipping and using the coupons, i'm like 3 weeks BEHIND. YES, you read it here.. i'm BEHIND. and i gotta tell you - it's incredibly OVERWHELIMING to be behind...

some interesting points:

• people are very generous about sharing their coupons - so if you want to start collecting and are getting discouraged by the constant updating and printing and organizing


• couponing can get overwhelming, so take it easy. i think i've mentioned this before, but, set a practical goal. my current goal, which i haven't confirmed for last month, is to save 50% off my total grocery bill.
