Target and CVS Store coupons are great because you can stack them. The same as you can at Albertsons and Vons. But I will explain that in detail in another Post.

Hello

Hello Everyone. Welcome to my very first post. I hope that in the coming days and weeks, I can help give you information that will enable your life as a mom to be easier and maybe to find things to do or to buy that are cost effective and time saving. When I used to be a stay at home mom, i had a lot of time to coupon clip, search the sales,and what not. As a working mom of two boys commuting, I find myself short on time, and still trying to find ways to stay in budget.

Here are a few of my quick tips:

1. Stick to one or two stores for most of your bargain hunting. This allows you to maximize your savings and become familiar with those stores, but doesn't leave you feeling that you are running around. my two go to stores are Target and CVS as they are both very close to my home and work ( in case I want to go there during lunch). Yours may be other stores. When I can, I like to go to Wal-mart, but there isn't one really close to home, and sometimes it takes me more time there than I like as I personally find many of their cashiers are not educating in coupon use. 

2. Use whatever method works for you. I am using a new method borrowed from the Krazy Coupon lady, and am organizing all my coupons into a binder. I will post how I find this method, versus the coupon box my mother uses.

3. Most importantly, do not buy it if you don't use it. Getting a great deal is wonderful, but it is pointless to purchase items in which you or family will never use.
