Featured question:
"How many Sunday newspapers do I need each week to get enough coupons?"
Our answer:
Rule of thumb: 1 Sunday newspaper per person in your household. Grocerysmarts is about "stocking-up", but only on the hottest deals each week that YOUR family will consume. Over time, your storage or pantry needs to develop a wide VARIETY of items. The cheapest way to get multiple coupons for stocking up is by getting multiple newspaper subscriptions (just for the Sunday coupons!) -Remember, your school recycle bins get paid by the pound.

Organizing:

Filing coupon packets whole in hanging files is the easiest way to organize coupons. Just use 4 "large capacity" hanging file folders (2 or 3 inch "box-bottom" hanging files).

What to expect each Week-
In Sunday newspapers look for occasional P&G packets, and ANY OTHER packet the "same size" as the SS packet as long as it has manufacturers coupons in it. There are sometimes 2 different Smart Source packets in one Sunday paper (When this happens we refer to each packet descriptively by the cover). Also, some Sundays may have packets with a different name on them (like Kellogs or General Mills), so pay attention and keep them all. In the mail look for the Redplum and an occasional P&G. The schedule in the link below refers to the date printed on the spine of the packet. Packets that come in the mail usually arrive a few days BEFORE this date.
