There have been people tell me that using coupons is just not for them.
My answer to them is in the form of a question:
Why would you think that?
Do you like saving money?
To get started on the path of saving your hard earned cash, start small and choose one small part of your weekly/monthly shopping needs.
For example: If you are a pet owner, start there.
Every week there are usually a variety of pet food/treats coupons in the Sunday Houston Chronicle. These can range from buy one get one free items to dollars off your purchase of the products....

Five Tips from the Coupon Contessa
1). The first key to saving money is to get multiple inserts of the Houston Chronicle and lots of them.
The coupons are usually with the magazine section that is wrapped in the funny paper.
There are three kinds of inserts: the Redplum, the SmartSource and the once a month General Mills and Procter & Gamble Brand Saver. There are not coupons on Holiday weekends. The Redplum is also being mailed to most houses in our area.
2). Once you have your coupon inserts, now it is time to get to know the stores...

Certain times of the year we want to do special things for the people we love.
There are many ways to express your feelings without breaking the bank.
Option 1:
If you never cook, try it.
Recreate the famous movie scene in Disney's Lady and the Tramp.
You will need:
For Entrée - Spaghetti, Meat sauce, Grated Parmesan Cheese.
Side dish - Tossed Garden Salad with Italian Dressing.
Bread - Frozen Biscuits or Croissant Rolls to bake.
Dessert - Mini Warm Delights - Low in calories, big on taste. Top with whipped cream.

Many times throughout the year, beauty products can be found for very inexpensive or even Free!
This is still the time of year, when the stores are having buy one get one free sales on everything from makeup to deodorant. We want to take advantage of the sales and combine the store sale with the Sunday insert coupons, to get the lowest possible prices.
Shampoo is an item that I will not purchase unless it is Free or very close. It is fun to try different or new brands and usually I am surprised with the quality of the products.
We are seeing more coupons...
