Top Ten Must Knows 
1.  Cut and keep all coupons 
  -Even if it isn't the brand or item you normally use.  Trust me.
2.  The best place to print coupons:
  - coupons.com   (my favorite)
  - redplum
  *  If you see a coupon that looks like a real good deal, print it because they go fast
3. Use coupons on sale items
  - Most often a store brand item will be cheaper than using a coupon for a name brand item,   unless you use the coupon when the name brand item is on sale.
4.  Stack coupons
  - My favorite!   I had no clue you could do this before.  Did you know you can use 1  manufacturer coupon and 1 store coupon on each item.  Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Target are  some of the stores that have store coupons and let you stack.  
5. Plan Ahead and Stock up
  -  If you wait until the last minute to buy something you need, you probably won't get a  good deal.  Buy things on sale before you need them and get a stock pile going.  
6. Subscribe for a Sunday newspaper
  -  It is definitely worth the money.  You will get your money back by using just one or two  coupons.  
7.  My favorite websites for deals:
  - For example:  If you buy 2 boxes of Rice Krispies, you may use a coupon for $1/2 and a  coupon that says one free bag of m&m's with the purchase of 2 boxes of Rice Krispies.
  - Another example:  Buy 2 body washes.  Use a buy one get one free body wash coupon and  $1/2 body washes.   
9.  Don't give up
  - Even if you have same failures and frustrations, keep trying.  Overtime it will become  much  easier and not take much extra time out of your days.  I use to grocery shop out of  necessity, but now I actually really enjoy it. It's a skill!
10.  Have fun and share deals with others!
