Couponers! Couponistas! People who use the coupon! What advice would you offer to someone who seriously wants (or needs) to save money on grocery shopping?
My trick is to get a subscription for the Sunday paper only. I live in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and found a Groupon for a subscription. So, I'm not paying full price for the paper, but I'm also getting new coupons every week.
Are there little known tricks? Special websites where you can get coupons without having to download some software? Even tips for organizing the darn things would be great!

I never coupon anymore through paper coupons in the newspapers. I just use Target's Cartwheel, their digital coupons, coupons from the web, and I stack them all! LOL I also use apps like Ibotta, Snap by Groupon, and Checkout 51 to get cash back from my purchases.

To find coupons there are different ways to do this: the Sunday newspaper inserts and printable coupons. There are many sites that have coupons that you can print, but most ask that you download their software. I haven't had any problems with any software yet. Then you’ll want to organize your coupons. I think that most people when they start they start with a coupon binder. I highly recommend becoming familiar with your store’s coupon policy. So whatever store you’re looking to shop at, I recommend printing their coupon policy out and keeping it with you. Go couponing at the right time. Just because you have a coupon doesn’t mean you use it whenever. Wait for items to go on sale and then use a coupon along with the sale to help you save more money. That is what we call a coupon match-up or a match-up. You’d take your weekly sales paper and match it up to coupons that are available. There are many sites out there that do coupon match-ups for their readers so they do all of the work for you and show you how to save money of the sale items.

Find a blog that has local stores listed on it then follow what the deals are that they list. Only buy things that your family uses.
