Day two involved me purchasing the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times, and spending hours couponing. First things first, I had no idea what the Smart Source, Red Plum, and Procter & Gamble inserts were so I was hoping they were included in the papers and they were. Here's pictures of what they look like:
Second, I went through each insert and cut out every coupon that was relevant to me.
Third, I used the Krazy Coupon Lady's coupon deals for store web page to match my coupons to stores. I also decided to organize my coupons into select groups. Right now I am using a piece of paper and paper clips to separate the coupons, but as I add more I will be changing this philosophy.
Next I decided to use an old Tumi day planner to hold my coupons, store ads, scissors, paper clips, etc.
This week I only cut manufacturers coupons because I did not need to do any grocery shopping. Manufacturers coupons seem to be good from 1-3 months so I will cut them every week. This weekend I plan on cutting food coupons from local stores and putting these coupons to work. I will update as I go along.
What else is there to say but goodnight and goodnight to you Mrs. Amore, wherever you may be.
I love couponing, just ask Eileen and Brian!!
