Couponing sounds all great and fun, which it definitely is, but before you become an expert couponer there are some things you need to know before you get started.

1. Most store ads/weekly deals are Sunday till Saturday.

Most store ads/weekly deals are Sunday till Saturday.

2. Coupon inserts are found in your regional Sunday newspapers.

They can also be purchased at gas stations, pharmacies, and sometimes dollar tree. I recommend two newspapers a week to start off.

3. There are 3 brands of coupon inserts.

Smart Source (SS)

Retail Me Not (RMN)

And P&G

4. Not all inserts come every week.

P&G comes monthly usually the Sunday closest to the beginning of the month and SS & RMN are different each week like

1 SS and 2 RMN,

2 SS and 2 RMN and so on

5. Not every newspapers have the same coupons.

Some areas get the basic coupon inserts but some major areas get double that amount. I live in an average coupon insert area so I don't get as many coupons and deals as others, but you can order them online if you really want them.

6. You can print coupons on Coupons.com.

Coupons.com is a great place to print coupons if you need more and find coupons from other areas. You can also print two coupons per device (one coupon per print) on Coupons.com And don't forget to download the app on your phone for more coupon.

7. You can NOT use an insert coupon and Coupons.com coupon on 1 item.

Unless you have three of the same item and use two coupons from the inserts and one coupon from Coupons.com

8. You CAN use a store coupon and insert/Coupons.com on the same item.

Insert/Coupons.com are manufacture coupons but store coupons are different because the store is giving them out to sell more products.

I hope this helps you save money and keeps your wallet full!!!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
