Ask the Readers: How to Get Coupons by Mail?

by Briana Carter on June 22, 2011

Coupons are everywhere, right? What if you are on a budget with no printer? There are many places to find coupons you just have to keep your eyes out. The following question is a question that has been posed to me several times by different people.

I hope you will be able to help me. I am currently trying to shop for a family of 7 on a budget of only $400 per month. It is so difficult and our printer just broke so I can not print coupons. I get so little of them in the mail and although I have emailed many companies I am not getting any coupons in the mail. Do you know how I can get coupons in the mail. I don’t have money to spend to buy pre clipped coupons so I hope you might have some ideas. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

What do you think? Where do you get your coupons if you don’t have a printer or money to spend on pre-clipped coupons?

Have any tips for her?

Ask the Readers: How to Stockpile with a $25 a Week Grocery Budget

by Briana Carter on February 8, 2011

I’m cleaning out my inbox and this is a question from a reader. She needs our help!  First, I would suggest looking at the 15 Days of Couponing and trying to set aside a small amount of her budget for stockpiling items each week. There are many free items or close to free items you can stock on each week including basic toiletry items, which we all use!

I’m relatively new to couponing, and to be honest, it’s all very overwhelming.  Recently my husband issued a challenge to me to save about $25/week on groceries, and staple items. (This is in order for him to be able to quit his second job, and be home more with the kids and I)  I realize that this is a very hard thing to do, and I know that it won’t happen overnight, however, my question to you is, do you have any tips that can help save money in the short term? I’m not someone to go out and stock up on items that we won’t use, and I know that a lot of deals may take money to make money on them, being in a one income household, the budget is pretty much stuck in stone.  I do use coupons frequently, however, despite not being brand specific, I usually don’t find the items that we need at all.  I thank you in advance for any help that you can give me…and thank you for your blog, it’s helped tremendously!

What are your best tips for her to stock up on items without breaking her budget?
