"Clip and download your way to big savings!"
Review from The Couponing Teacher


Someone who is still somewhat new to couponing I am always looking for books to learn more about it. When I had the chance to read and review this book I was really excited to see what she wrote about.
I found this book to be reader friendly meaning it is straight and to the point. She breaks her book into 4 different parts. 
Part 1 focuses on Couponing Basics including Getting Started, manufacturer, Store, and Electronic Coupons, Online Printable Coupons , and Debunking Couponing Myths.

Part 2 focuses on Using Coupons Effectively including Embracing Coupons Effectively, Money- Back Coupons and Reward Programs, Drugstore Savings, and Couponing Strategies.

Part 3 focuses on Online and Mobile Couponing including Cash Back and Rebates, Daily Deals, Restaurant Savings, Mobile Coupon and Saving Apps, and Online Coupon Codes and Bonus Discounts.

Part 4 focuses on Planning and Organizing including Acquiring and Organizing Coupons, Blogs and Forums,
Planning and Shopping Trips, Couponing for Your Priorities, Organizing and Donating, and The Future of Couponing.

I found each part to be very informative and useful.Through out the book she includes little tidbits of information on what you are reading about, which I really liked. I also found myself circling them with my highlighter so I wouldn't forget it and even made notes on the sides. She has also included a glossary and online resource section. 
I highly recommend this book to any couponer out there, whether you have been couponing for years or weeks...I promise you will learn something new and will have a hard time putting it down!

  2. I used coupons many years ago when we had kids at home. I have just recently started taking advantage of them again, but I really need to get organized and commit myself to it!
