Coupon-ing

So, I really want to get into Coupon-ing because I really like to save money (who doesn't?), so I added all these coupon Blogs to my Google Reader. I thought that if I forced myself to read through them everyday, I would be motivated to print them out and plan ways to use them.

FAIL - All I seem to do is scroll through them really quickly so that I can get to the Blogs that I ACTUALLY want to read. Pathetically, the only coupon I used was for Chipotle (of course, FOOD).

HELP - What are your coupon-ing tactics, methods, style? How do you keep track of it? How do you not miss the deadlines? MOSTLY, how do you NOT get sick of the emails/blogs of coupons you don't ACTUALLY want?

If you coupon, please tell me how you do it. I cannot seem to get the hang of it...

Me either! If you find a way please let me know. I feel like the only things that have coupons are things we don't eat/need/use. If you figure out a way to find the good ones, let me know.

What is my secret? Don't coupon and enjoy life.

Ask Tina... I have heard that she is amazing at it.

If they have one for your area, Groupon is pretty cool and I only get one email a week. Sometimes it's stuff I don't need but sometimes it is. Also, I'm a huge fan of googling coupons if I purchase anything online! I've seen people buy just the Sunday paper for your area and clip coupons for the items you know you use. Keep them in a little pouch or index box near your grocery list or in your car so you don't forget :)

I use GrocerySmarts (http://grocerysmarts.com/utah/lists/splashg84gen.php) and just subscribe to Freebies2Deals. I can't remember if you're still in Utah or not, but the sites are pretty good.
