Start small! Pick a store and learn that first, then move on to learn another. I recommend either Shaws(if you have one), CVS is pretty easy to learn but Rite Aid has the most free items. Ask as many questions as you need to, there is no silly question. We have many awesome members willing to help out  Welcome!!

I saw Kathy on TV last night and I am anxious to learn how to save all this money, and so is my husband. I work part-time from home but also am in college full-time!! It's hard to juggle everything but I hope this will help us financially. This comes at a much needed time and hope I can learn everything Kathy has to offer! Thanks so much!!

Hello all! I am VERY new to this! I am desperate to learn from the great example that Kathy has set! I am a single mom who lost her job, is in school full time and has three fur babies to provide for as well as a finicky teenage daughter! I will admit that I have been terribly resistant to coupon cutting in the past but now I have absolutely no choice!! The site does look a bit overwhelming so I am hoping for any assistance to getting the ball rolling that I can have!

Just pick one store to concentrate on start by just getting the free items. What stores do you shop at? go to those forums and follow those. CVS is the easiest drugstore to start with.

I am a newbie as well from MA. This site is a little overwhelming, so I am reading every post and trying to figure out where to start.

Hello all from down south! I am a college student from Louisiana and I am so excited to learn how to do all of this!!! Hopefully you guys can introduce me to some secrets and help me to discover the wonderful world of coupons!!! I have so much to learn! I have read most of the forums but I am still not confident enough to attempt this! I could really use a mentor in my region to give me the heads up on certain things.
Again, thanks Kathy for this information! You're a big help!

My name is Summer and I'm a newbie too. I live in North Carolina. I use coupons already, but not to this extent. Would love to learn how to feed my family of 3 for next to nothing. Just need the guidance and direction of any masters out there.

Hello All – I'm new to the site, and fairy new to coupon clipping. I only recently started using coupons to help save us some money. But when I saw Kathy on Inside Edition on Friday I had to learn how she shops for free. I have browsed the site a bit but am overwhelmed. I'm in KS so a lot of grocery stores mentioned we don't have. Hopefully, I can still get help to learn how to eventually shop for free…. Thanks!!!

Hello! My name is Angela, I'm a mother of four, and live in South Florida. I need help with all of this! I have been collecting coupons, and printing online as well. The question I have is how do you actually get down to $0.00? How can you use multiple coupons if the coupon says "Limit one coupon per purchase"? Can I have a scenario, please? Examples please, please,please.
