Couponing for the Beginner: A Guide to Couponing for th… (2024)

I did not like this one. Partially because of the first page the author already scolds you for potentially sharing her book because "she worked really hard on it." She brings it up again at the end. First of all, I wasn't gonna share the book, but now I want to, and secondly, her book didn't discuss anything that EVERY OTHER BOOK on couponing hasn't already talked about. I've only been couponing for 2 weeks, and yet I knew everything she had in her book. I felt like she was a pushy robot who just kept regurgitating facts at me.

Unless you have no idea what a coupon is, skip this one. You don't need it.

Couponing for the Beginner: A Guide to Couponing for the Uninitiated by Jenny Dea
Table of contents about all aspects of couponing. I have been doing it since the kids were young, they are now in their mid 40's.
With just the two of us now I still find us using coupons from various sources to help save a bit of money. e
Into about what a coupon is, the language, . Rules at certain stores are also explained and links are included for online reading.
Where to obtain them is linkable also. Color photos help explain about coupons also throughout the book.
Reward programs are also explained to get even more money back.
Great if the stores you shop at are also highlighted in this book.
Helpful resources are listed.

This is a very basic guide to using coupons. There are some techniques for amplifying savings. The various types of coupons are outlined. there is a focus on some major retailers, i.e., Walgreens, CVS, Rite-aid, Target and links to the major couponing sites and apps. Most people will find little knew though those less tech-savvy will probably appreciate the section on using apps.

Very informative. I’m grateful for the many resources she provides & look forward to using them. Some of the sites & apps are no longer available. As I am a busy mom I really enjoy having things saved on my phone for ease of carrying soo many things into the store. She even provides an email so you can write to her & tell her things/resources that you use that she did not mention in her book.

Good book

This was a good book on coupons. They give you so much information ...I would recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work
I gave it a five star because of all the information in it
It helped me to think about the way I shop

Will know what's already in the book. I learned some of these tricks from the Internet. I only got one tip that I didn't know.. Read the store coupon rules.

Very helpful for beginners & middle of the road folks like me!

I already knew of KCL coupons.com and RP SS as well as some others, however, the author provided plenty of resources to explore more coupon sites and couponers updating on deals at most stores. Definitely recommended!!

Stop judging me!

*hoards*

But no seriously, as someone who was raised by a crazy coupon lady and who works at a crappy chain pharmacy, I already know a lot about getting deals with coupons, but I always wondered how the hardcore people do it. (Like how do you even find these sales and coupons? I know about them because I WORK HERE.)

I think this book is an excellent starting point for anyone who's wondering how it's done.

I am a beginning couponer, and I found this book to be very helpful, especially with the basics that I don't know very much about. People who already have a solid grasp of the art of couponing probably don't need this book, but if you're like me and new to the sport, then I think this is a good place to start.

A sincerely written, easy to read introduction to the inner workings of the coupon world. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before, and now I have some digital coupons attached to my grocery card for next time! Hardly any effort required for that.

every time i read one of these kinds of books, i get really excited about finding deals at the store. then i realize i just don't have the patience or organizational skills needed.

very helpful

If you're into couponing already this book gives you a few new hints, but if you're a beginner this book is a goldmine!! I love the resources in the back of the book!

Just what I needed

I have been trying to get into compouning and this just brought it back into a world I could understand-. Thanks!

Good read

I was able to follow the book and understand the basis of couponing. If you're interested in saving money than read this book.

It's a good intro book for those intimidated by couponing. I marked it as a reference so I could look through the websites as desired.
