Couponing Deals for the week of 04/26/2020

Couponing can be overwhelming and/or time consuming~ I was there.  Completely frustrated with the amount of coupons and deals.  It doesn't have to be.  My advice to new couponers is to take it slow.  Start by picking up a Sunday paper and focusing on 1 deal for the week and adding on as you feel more confident and comfortable.  Soon you will be creating quite the stockpile :)

If have ECB's and/or Register Rewards, go ahead and apply them to this week's deals to lower your out of pocket expense :)
