When the Christmas deals start, a lot of the couponing deals get pushed to the side and well, we are focused on figuring out Christmas. But, now that a new year is almost here, I would really like to get back to the basics of couponing and saving money on the everyday stuff our families need like food and personal items.
I’m sure there are a lot of new Freebies2Deals readers who have never used a coupon before, and that is totally fine! You might not be ready to start using coupons to save money… or maybe you are. Either way, Freebies2Deals will still and always post everything from free samples and online deals to in-store and grocery deals!
And, if you are a little burned out from couponing, I totally understand!! I’ve been there multiple times and even wrote a post about it here that you might want to read.
I hope you guys are ready to get back into the swing of things and really start building a food storage/stockpile for your families. Having one, especially with all of the natural disasters that are hitting everywhere is one of the easiest and best ways to stay prepared. Not to mention, it is great to never have to pay full price for things. You will have your own little grocery store in a closet or in the basement of your home that you can shop at any time- you will be amazed at how much money using coupons will save your family! 🙂
So, who’s with me?? Are you ready to jump back in?? Or start for the first time? I’ll be walking you through it from the very beginning of couponing to help everyone get re-freshed, excited and feeling comfortable and confident with their coupon skills!

YES! Thank you so much for this. Due to financial difficulties with my husband’s job, we have almost depleted our entire storage downstairs. It was such a blessing to have when we needed it, but it needs to be restocked. 🙂
Dorene
I am with you. I am also going to be mentoring a new couponer. My daughter. She is moving out with her family and asked if I could show her. So, I am happy and grateful that you are here to help. Thank you.

I really want to start couponing, and saving my family of 5 some money. I would really appreciate all the help, because I have no clue where to even start.
julie maunu
Couponing is great.. I got tons of free stuff for Christmas presents this year because of coupons. Thank you for the time you put into your website, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of doubling couponing as there are no stores in northern Minnesota that double coupon…..
Phyllis Katherina
Ready to get back in…Thanks sooooo much!!!!
Brittany Jensen
Love couponing! Although I didn’t get the coupons that they said there would be in Sunday’s paper…
Whitney
I have been trying to keep on couponing but it seems like the deals on groceries and food items, especially ones that aren’t full of preservatives, are hard to find. Do you think that you could do a post about price points that you generally buy items at? Perhaps that is my problem; I’m expecting prices to be lower than they are. But it seems like stores like Smiths just aren’t having the sales they were having a year ago.
Thanks Melea!
Jennifer J
I get in and out of couponing to my suprise I actually used a lot of coupons for Christmas 🙂 I am ready for your great tips and tricks to help me save more. Thanks so much!
Rebecca J
My thoughts exactly. I hope to track my savings for the whole year. I would love to see what the end of 2012 savings is. I love your site and appreciate all the love and care you put in to it! Thanks so much and look forward to an amazing year with Freebies2deals!
Kim
I agree, the sales just aren’t the same. At least I have a stock pile thanks to sites like Freebies2deals!!!
Promise
Please teach me! Saving money is always a good idea!
danielle
I have been lightly couponing for a few months now. I love saving the money, but sometimes its takes so long to organize, go thru, and figure out if its even something i want, i just give up sometimes. I would love some organization tricks for someone with a already full schedule. so i can do couponing on a regular basis and not feel so overwhelmed
Julie Barker
I have only been using coupons for about 4 months and wish I was a little better at it. I love all the tips that you post. It really helps me out. I’m excited to get better at this, so whatever helpful hits and tips you have sent em my way! Thank you!!!!
Leslie
Love the post about coupon burn out. I have experienced that recently but am ready to get back into it in January. Think instead of cutting every coupon, I am going to do the filing system. Cutting EVERY coupon is just too time consuming. I am excited to start again.
Also, I lost my hard drive and the majority of my couponing links. Could you refer me to a few coupon clippers?
Rachael
I’ve been wanting to do this. I’m excited to learn how it’s done!!!
lisa g.
yaaaay….a New Year, new resolve!!!! After getting a little side tracked at the end of this year, I’m with you all the way!!! 🙂

Judy
Totally on board! I’ve been trying to make this work and have been getting a lot of heat for not doing it right I guess?!? I need to coupon better.
Julie
I am ready to learn!!!
Megan
couponing has taken a back seat to christmas deal the last month or two so I am totally ready to get back in the swing of things! We are building a house starting in January and I want to save as much money as I can so that when we are through I have some extra cash and an awesome stockpile for our new pentry 😀
Robyn
SO ready to get back into couponing. Really loved it and had a great stockpile. However, I have four kids and I went back to work full time and have not been able to put the time into it that I need too. My husband has promised to give me a hour every night to focus on couponing to rebuild our stockpile. So, I am ready to make 2012 a year of savings and stockpiles!!!!
jennifer ables
hi, i’m so ready to get back into it now that the holidays are over!
Rajathi
I somewhat do couponing and would like to get into it more. But we are trying to stay away from process foods when possible and trying to eat more natural. So if you can help in that area, that would be great.
I love your site and have never mentioned it before, so thanks for always posting awesome ideas and coupons and so forth
Jen
I’m In, I just started and could use some help
Kathye
YAY
I would love to do this.
Not coupon hoarding but definitely an emergency supply.
Kristal
I love couponing! I have saved so much $$ in the past 3 3/4 yrs that I have been doing it. I can’t NOT do it and I also love all the deals that are on-line deals. They have also saved my family sooooo much $$$. I always mention freebies2deals when I talk about couponing with people. This is the best site!!!!
Stacy
Could use all the help I can get with couponing. I have a friend who has a knack for it and I don’t know where to start…thanks ahead of time!
Cherlynn Thomas
I love couponing, but I don’t want all of that unhealthy stuff with loads of preservatives. I wish there were more coupons for organic produce!
Debbi
I’m in !! and I am very excited..
Brenda
I’m ready. Couponing has been kind of rough lately .
cindy
I had been couponing off and on for years and really got serious about it the middle of the year. I’m ready to start a new year and hopefully a spreadsheet to see exactly how much I’m saving! I can tell by my stockpile and extra money at the end of the month, but to know the dollar amount will be a great asset for me and my naysayer friends.
Nicole
I need to get back into it!! I figured out the couponing for hygiene items but for some reason i just cant grasp food. It seems the food that is on sale I don’t use.
Kathy
Doing basic with coupons now, saving a few dollars. Cannot wait to learn how to do more.

Jennifer Lund
Yes! I need to learn how to keep up on it! Just started couponing a couple months ago and it’s a lot of work! I never know which coupons I’m going to want. I’ve also been printing coupons online and get some without a barcode that stores won’t take. I guess I’d like to know what that is about?
Ashley

I am with you all. In case you don’t know about recyclebank, here is their website and a great way to earn points to buy great coupons. It’s also a good way to learn about recycling.
linda
I like couponing but there is only 2 of us and lots of the coupons my husband does not use. So I try to save at least a little bit in coupons. wish I could remember to bring them in the store.
Cynthia
YES!!! I am with you, and I want to learn more about couponing.
Karrie H.
I want to learn. I’ve got 4 teenagers in the house and right now my job future is uncertain where I am at. I haven’t got a clue where to start or how to “do it right” .
Laurie P.
I would love to learn the ins and outs of couponing. I have done a little bit but I don’t feel like I know enough about it to get the most out of the coupons. I would love any help you are willing to give! Any chance to save some money on my grocery bill would be great. I definitely want to learn more about couponing and what and how to do it. Thanks so much! Also I love your site. It is great!
Tami
I am excited to start couponing. I keep thinking I am going to try and then feel too overwelmed. I am now committed as finances have changed and we are now helping out married children.
Linda
Thanks so much for the tremendous amount of effort that you put into Freebie2deals. I’ve been couponing for a few months. I’m still not up to speed on the Walgreens and CVS stuff. Also it seems like there are not a lot of new coupons, but just the same ones over and over. Am I missing something?
Tina Downard
Yes!!! I am ready to get back on track. AND..for Christmas, I got couponing supplies! 🙂 and food storage. so, i am excited to get back on track and start saving again.
Chris
Just please make it simple!!!
Erica
I’ve wanted to get started for quite some time so this is wonderful. I’m on a very tight budget and hopefully this will help with that! My boyfriend and I are very excited for me to get going on this
sherie
would love to get started the right ;way.
Vivian
I ready to start saving .
Denise
I have a bright lime green zippered folder. I bring it with me everywhere when I am in the car. It draws attention when it is in the grocery cart. I get many comments, “oh you coupon”, “do you save money”, “I should start couponing”, “I watch that show..extreme couponing but they don’t tell you how to do it”. I always refer them to freebies2deals.
I do have quite a stash of items from soaps to t.p., p.t, shampoo, deodorant, etc. I also donate to the pantry at church, and a school. I just read an article today in our paper about a school that fills the kids backpacks on friday with food, so they know the kids will eat over the weekend. How sad.
In 2012 I want to do more and more couponing, from inserts in papers to copying on my printer. I wish everyone a Happy New Year and “Happy Couponing Ya’All!” GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Monica Weddell
OH YEAH,, IM TOTALLY W/U FOR 2012 COUPONING!! THANK U SO MUCH 4 ALL U DO, U HAVE HELPED OUR FAMILY MORE THAN U KNOW… HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
Celeste
Can’t wait!
Deeana
I would love to learn more about using coupons & how to organize them.
