We've been at it a while.
It takes time to build your coupon stash, as well as learning all the different store ins and outs. We make the system work for us.
I would suggest you continue to build your Q supply, always getting multiple papers each week. Also, I've found several other blogs that list various weekly deal scenarios. It takes the guesswork out of it and cuts my valuable time dramatically as I prepare for each weeks featured deals in the various stores. I strive to get in and get out,
as rapidly as possible. Then, on to the next one!
After a few months, you realize you've gotten pretty darn good at this game. And ya got the stockpile to prove it!
