just starting

I have no clue where to start.......

Just start reading through the threads, you'll catch on. Lots of great people and great advice. Welcome.

I found the deals thread the most helpful when I started. This site is great!! You will catch on very quickly. I only joined in Feb of this year and have my very own minnie stock pile started - and most of the stuff I have gotten I just had to pay tax.

The best advice that I can give (being a newbie myself) is to logon and read, read, read...these guys are so awesome and helpful!! I cannot even being to tell you how much I have learned over the past month or so! Good luck and happy shopping!!! And remember...it's all good as long as you save more than you spend! lol...

When I started I found the brag section the best. I just tried to copy what others were doing, I made mistakes at first but you catch on really quickly.

yeah I agree, I hovered in the brag section for a while, tried to figure out how to do what everyone else was doing, there's an awesome group that puts on "how to" groups to get you going, I'll try to find the contact...
Also if you literally hover your mouse on the topics on the top menu, go to Forum and a little drop down menu will appear, check out "Deals & Fliers" and "Coupons" to get the newest scoops, and your local section, if active can be a huge help too, maybe someone will take you shopping with them and show you how, or take you coupon hunting! It's fun!

I can't seem to find the link, maybe they're not doing it anymore, I'll find out and if they are I'll post it here or in a PM (private message)

GivingSmall is the member who hosts the "epic couponer" intro groups. I think she just started an 8th group, so PM her if you want to join.

Read, look through pictures, and ask questions! Never be shy to ask questions. Everyone is here to help.

People will constantly mention what's a good price and what coupon they're using with an item in flyer threads, so look there too!

Welcome to SC!! :) Alot on here to learn but you will get up to speed in no time!!

I read as much as possible!! I start each day reading the Blog (see tabs), then the Deals (for flyers & Hot Deals & coupons to use), Coupon tab has new coupons listed & a printable coupon list & trade section (near top) :)

Also order coupons at ;
Save.ca
Brandsaver.ca (same as P&G flyer inserts)
Websaver.ca
LifeMadeDelicious.ca (sign up & takes you to save.ca for Betty crocker, etc)
GoCoupons.ca

Good luck & happy savings!! :)
