I've had a lot of people ask me lately how to coupon successfully. Well, I'm still a novice at it, but I can pass on what I have learned.
1. Get the Sunday paper. It's recommended to buy a paper per person in your house.
2. Know your grocery's and drugstore's policies. Every store is different.
3. Find a good website source that tells you the deals. There are a lot out there. I use southernsavers.com, and I have used grocerygame.com. Research what would work best in your region.
4. Keep coupons for a long time. I have an expandable file folder that has 13 slots, so I keep my coupons for 13 weeks. I just stick the newspaper inserts in the spot and wait until southernsavers tells me to use it.
That is about it. It just takes a few facts, and then you can start couponing like a pro. It does take time, but when you start saving 60-70%, sometimes 90%, everytime you shop, it's worth it. I routinely get a pack of diapers for $3 or less. Good luck and have fun with it!
