BUT I know it will literally pay off.
I wish I could stick to only buying things on sale and with a coupon........but I guess I have to get a good stockpile going first to build off of.
We'll all be coupon commandos.....never paying retail again 
I am still shocked at how much money that can be saved. I am a stay at home mom and saving money is a big priority, so I am really getting into this
Thanks again for all the tips and download info

We all have our reasons for saving money! I am a newbie too. For me I found it easier to put my coupons in a small coupon organizer. I tried checking out the ads, but it takes too much time. I shop regularly at Kroger and for two visits have pulled blinkies! Then I got extra papers and cut coupons. I used the theory that each week I would stock up on items we use and can use, just a few at a time. Yesterday I bought rice and pasta rice a roni... 14 boxes and 8 bags of rice. I got them on sale and with coupons it was a steal. I also needed butter, and had collected a lot of Land o Lakes coupons, that item was on sale too so I bought as many as I could. That is my tactic.
Kroger doesn't give me grief on coupons I print, but they don't double any either??? If I have a coupon that I can't use, I write the company an email or a letter.... they send a shiny one back to me!
As for abbreviations? I can hardly remember yesterday, I should print them out!
And coupon swap? That sounds time consuming, how do the coupon trains work out? I think I would like that since I have lots of good coupons that I will never use ( a true blonde LOL).
Keep at it, and maybe your SAHB (stay at home buss.) can be done storing items in your trunk? or you could buy a trunk at Wally World - and stack them up to the ceiling.
Best of luck
