This Girl's Gotta Coupon

OK, so I've been contemplating this a while now. I mean, I've got five hungry children and a single parent income. There are months when our grocery bill is over $1000, especially during the summer months when school is out. THAT can put a huge dent in your finances, let  me tell you.

I am starting from scratch, basically. I mean, I have a Sunday and Wednesday subscription to the newspaper. I've got some coupons saved up over the last few weeks. But, I'm kind of at a loss. I don't know where to start. Should I clip them? File them somehow? Keep them in their little leaflets? Use file folders? A coupon binder? I have no idea.

I guess what I am going to have to do is just buckle down and think of how much money I will be saving in the long run. A friend of mine told me today that she sets price points for herself and never pays over a certain amount for certain items. Ummmm.... Ok. How do you figure out what price point you want to pay? I have tons of questions. That's the reason for this blog.

I know that I can't be the only one who needs to save money on their grocery bill and who is completely lost and intimidated on where to start and how to go about it. And so, here I am. Let's learn together, shall we?
I'm going to go gather up all my coupon inserts and store fliers and see what I've got to work with. Wish me luck!
