Anonymous,

Here in the US, you must buy the product to use the coupon. Most store cash registers will match up the product to the coupon and if it's not there the coupon will beep. Walmart does take coupons, but if you have a lot (like 20 or more) the cashier may get a bit annoyed. Just stay pleasant. Coupons can be printed from a number of sources – Redplum (dot) com, smartsource (dot) com, and coupons (dot) com. Manufacturers may also have coupons on their websites as well. New ads for grocery stores come out on Wednesdays, Target and Walmart ads come out on Sunday. They all last for a week. Hope this helps.

hi ladies – we are in the Uk and coupon – our supermarket will take the coupons regardless of whether you buy the product so it is a real saving for us to be able to use them – we are coming to Florida 2010 for holiday and wonder if Walmart take coupons, where we can print them from? and if you have to buy the product to use the coupon? many thanks.

It doesn't take forever, but there is a time investment. However, I tried it the other way for awhile and was just frustrated. I often find a deal while I'm in the store and to rifle through the inserts in the grocery aisle with kids barking at my heels wasn't working. I've found that as long as I keep up with it, it's not bad. Usually do it while we're watching a movie as a family.

I had read about Crystal's method on her blog. I would like to give it a try, but doesn't it take you forever to cut out all of your coupons (if you get multiple inserts)?

And I thought I was sharing old news with y’all. Apparently not.

The big black bag only holds my coupon box, my ads, and sometimes my wallet. It is essential to my grocery geekiness. Essential!

I previously had an 8×8 scrapbook with a page for each category. I had a hard time sorting through them when I found a good clearance deal at the store. I just switched to the baseball card sleeves in a binder. So far I’m finding it MUCH easier to find coupons quickly. I haven’t found it much more time-consuming yet, so I’m pretty pleased.

By the way, the binder is Pepto-Pink! You can see it here:
