The book is here and for sale in the Kindle store! “What I Wish I Knew Before Couponing” is ready for sale and is only $2.99. In this 105-page edition you’ll learn the 55 money-costing mistakes all couponers make, but they’re not aware they’re making them!

I want to thank everyone for purchasing my first book “How to Coupon: One Cheap Utah Chick’s Guide to Getting Started” and hope you all will enjoy this one too!

It’s time for a poll! How many of you notice you go through a stockpile faster because you know it’s there? It’s a subconscious thing — if you know you have extra or more on hand you aren’t as conservative using the product (and potentially waste more). I ask because I have noticed myself doing this from time to time. While I’m not a wasteful person, I do seem to go through stuff faster since I know I have extra, but there are times it might be in my head. So, why not poll everyone and see what you all think? Fill out the poll and let’s see!
Do You Go Through Stuff Faster Because You Have More in the Stockpile?
I love homemade cleaners. They smell better, work better and my kids can be around them! Most of these cleaners are made from the basic three:
Seriously, that simple! I found this book on Kindle the other day and it’s well worth the bucks!
Buy “Never Buy Laundry Detergent Again” for $3.99 (or borrow free with your Kindle if you have Amazon Prime) and read it. There’s tons of helpful stuff in here!
I went to Target on the hunt for some shoes for my one year old (of course they didn’t have any I liked), but when I ventured over to the kids department I found AWESOME clearances on boy’s clothes!
I picked up three shirts for my son at $2.50 a piece clearance (75%), but then I used the Target Cartwheel for 15% off too, so each shirt was just $2.04! Of course there was a Ninja Turtles shirt so I had to grab it for my son — there’s plenty at the Target in Centerville too if your kid has a TMNT addiction too.
If you don’t have Target Cartwheel, you need it. It’s free and you can use it on your phone. It shaves off an additional percentage at the register! You can use it on regular priced clothes too — there are some adorable baby clothes at Target right now, don’t get me started.
They have some baby outfits on clearance for 50% off. I found a 3-piece Carter PJ set in 18 months for just $7! Sure I could have gotten it cheaper, but it was too stinkin cute to pass up and for $7 for three pieces that’s about $2.33 a piece, so I was happy.
Get to Target before all the clearance stuff is gone! The one here had practically nothing left for clearance shoes.
There are a lot of couponers that ignore store policies — I was one of those too. But, if you’re a couponer store policies are very important. These guide you on how many coupons you can use, the types of coupons accepted and how overages are applied. We are going to discuss a few basics here today, but also I’ll link you to a few popular stores and their policies so that you can print and keep them nearby.
