What happens when a Coupon Expert in one region of the USA moves to another area of the country? I have started over learning new stores, coupon policies and building a reasonable stock pile and savings routine from scratch since October 1, 2011. I was an expert in Atlanta and the South but now happily reside in Columbia, Missouri!

I've searched other blogs and sites but I can't find someone else in my shoes so hopefully reading how I started over can help you! Whether you are a seasoned couponer in a new area OR a beginner- I know I can help walk you through what to do and help you start saving big! Starting over has made me realize how newbies to coupons feel and made me walk a grocery store aisle or two in a beginner's shoes again!

Living Smart 101: Slow Deal Weeks= CHALLENGE

Every now and again, I look at all the deals and really find nothing that I'm interested in. Great because it means a cheap week AND it offers a challenge. Plan meals around the pantry and the freezer.

It's easy to do and you can get very creative without a lot of effort. And it's a great time to purge the contents of your freezer and pantry to make room for future weeks where the deals are huge!

When a slow week hits- there are still staples to purchase like milk, bread, salad etc. Taking advantage of what you have from cherry picking and stockpiling can be fun and the perfect way to reduce the grocery budget for the month!!
