Hi, I'm Debbie and live in upstate NY in Orange county. I have a family of 4, plus whom ever drops by. My Son at 17 is a walking eating machine. I'm 48 and trying to learn how to drop my food bill.
What I learn hear I'm going to teach as many of my friends that want to learn.

I've watch utube video to learn but I think at this point I'm still no getting it.

I'm joined the Grocery game trial period and I just don't understand how to put the right coupons to the best sales. I'm feeling very stupid at this point. I'm overwhelmed on how to keep track of the coupons I have and finding them to add them to the actual sales.

If anyone can point me to the right forum to learn how to learn couping
and learn the websites to find manufacters coupons I would be very grateful.

Thanks so much

Debbie

Hello HappyCamper and welcome to CouponForum! Very Happy

Don't let this overwhelm you! Wink

There's a lot to learn and baby steps are the way to go. There's a post on the "Help For Newbies" thread about getting started that might help some http://www.couponforum.com/cf-129120.html?highlight=getting+started#129120 Lots of threads on the "Coupon Talk" forum will help with understanding the big picture and the possibilities.

The Manufactures Online Contact List is basically used for contacting a manufacturer about a product you liked (or didn't) in hopes that they may send a free coupon or cents off coupons for future purchases. Some do some don't. It's another tool for couponers but there are many avenues for getting coupons you need... finding them through newspapers and magazines, grocery stores, trading with other CF members, coupon trains, eBay or other such sites offering coupons for a handling fee. The more avenues you use for finding coupons you need and/or can trade with others, the easier this will all become and the more comfortable you will be with it.

We've got a lot of good members here who will help when you have questions so please don't be afraid to ask! Very Happy
