Getting Started....Basic "Koupon" lingo and building your "Koupon" stash

After you win an awesome Koupon binder ;) and are all set to get started,there are several different ways to start a nice stash of koupons. First, start getting the local Sunday paper (for previews of upcoming coupon inserts check out SundayCouponPreview.com Remember that coupons vary by region, and you may not get all the coupons in your local paper, especially if you’re not in a large marketing area (so try to get the paper in the largest market available, i.e. Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis). I LOVE checking here with upcoming deals at Pick n Save...so I will keep you all updated :)
Next, start printing coupons. First remember though, IT IS NOT OKAY TO COPY INTERNET PRINTABLE COUPONS ON A COPY MACHINE. Typically you can print two coupons per printer, and that’s it ;( There are some printable coupons that come in PDF form and can legitimately be printed several times, but be sure to read the fine print to make sure it’s okay to use more than once.
At first printing coupons will be a hassle! It’s a pain registering for lots of different sites to get coupons that have coupons, so try starting with:

Coupons.com
Smart Source
Red Plum
