Coupon Basics Review

I just wanted to make sure that some of the newer couponers are following the basics.  Here are the basics in review for our area:

1.  Buy one paper for every person in your household and always round up to the next even number
     (For example if you have 3 people in your house ...buy 4 newspapers)
     You are buying in multiples of 2 for the BOGO sales at Publix.

2.  Concentrate on the BOGO sales first.  Using southernsavers.com and their weekly publix ad line up,
     watch for items marked with the little acorn.  This means free item, close to free or even overage.
     Any overages will go to your non-coupon items such as produce and meats.

3.  Meal Plan around the sales and Misty talked about at DCOG's coupon class last Monday night.  If pot   
     roast is on sale then try to plan several meals around that roast for the week.  (A little birdy tells me that  
     she will be posting the recipee for this on her new blogsite tonight and that roast may very well be on sale.
     Make sure to go follow her on intentionallymisty.blogspot.com

4.  Don't get overwhelmed.  Start slow and don't clip all of your coupons.  Keep the isnerts whole and in  
     tact  and just date the front of them and keep them in a safe place. If you have questions...just ask don't
     panic.

That's all for now friends...  Happy Saving.
