Where to find coupons?
There are alot of ways to get coupons and several of them are free! As someone who coupons you want to make sure that you get at least 3-6 copies of these coupons; so that you can build your stockpile. This is because if say a bottle of Kraft BBQ sauce is on sale for $1 and you have -3-6 coupons that make it a dollar off you go home with FREE BBQ sauce.
Sunday Paper is one way to get coupons. The sunday paper contains Smart Source (SS), Red Plum (RP) or Proctor & Gamble (PG). When you order a subscription to your paper ask them two questions- Do they offer a Sunday or weekly only subscriptions? and Do they offer a discount if you buy multiple copies of Sunday’s paper? It is a huge benefit to have multiple copies of coupons.
There is also the options of printing coupons out from different sites.

Why I started Couponing?
Just like any other teen I had a High School job, a goal to finish school, and A desire for me to go to college but I had to save my money. In high school, I worked about 25-30 hours which I was able to handle. I was paid every two weeks. I had to figure out a way to make money last. Budgeting came into play.

While this budget and work load worked in high school, but then came College. That is when everything went downhill. I found myself wanting to accomplish big dreams, and becoming in debt as the years continue. Having to go from job to job was not easy at all. I went from job to job because, I was focusing on modeling and my dream. I got Debt Collector letters in the mail, life was getting out of control. I asked myself “how can I get myself out of this debt accomplish my goals and live a stable lifestyle?”
In 2013, I had moved way too many times and a budget that I just could not stick to. I started getting stressed out a lot. In turn, it took a toll on my physical appearance. That ultimately got me dropped from my modeling agency. I was heart broken and annoyed. I really needed to regroup and figure something out. I needed a better solution, that’s when I started Couponing!
This Extreme couponing was new to me. I watched a television program on extreme couponing. I wondered how they did it. How they saved so much money and how I can implement this idea into my daily life and SAVE MONEY. I researched and researched and started to pick up the habit of collecting coupons. I did my first couponing trip at a local drug store. It was really fun! I get a rush doing couponing. Being a model, I can make time for saving money. The more money I save the easier it is to keep my budget, and even pay down debt and have some left over to build a savings account.As I started to post on my adventures of Couponing, some of my friends in the industry started asking me for advice and even though I was still new to it, I just helped them! Then Modelsavings.com came along as a way for me to show that I am a model who coupons. I am in fact in debt way over by $30,000. I just want to inspire others to do the same thing. Honesty is KEY and my debt is the reason I started couponing. In result, I also started my blog. If I can change one persons life, I have done my job.
And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.”
