Review: Very Good Guide for Couponing Beginners
Rating: 4 out of 5

I am a dedicated couponer who is always amazed when the person in front of me in line spends over $100 buying dozens of items and doesn't use a single coupon, even though I know they could easily save a bundle with the right coupons. With that background, I was interested to see just what type of advice this rather slim guidebook offers for beginners.The good news, I'm happy to say is that this is an excellent guide book for beginners. It goes over where to find coupons, how best to use them for maximum advantage, and how to store and catalogue them. A lot of this is old hat for me, but it would have saved me a lot of time when I was starting out. An added plus is the section that contains links to about a dozen sites offering coupons, several of which I hadn't heard of before.The only possible drawback for some people is the price. Let's face it, the book is short, and some people may not want to spend $3 to get the equivalent of the content in a good detailed magazine article (this explains why I didn't give this five stars). If you already know your way around the world of coupons, I'd think twice about investing in the book. If, however, you'd like to save money by using coupons but don't really know how to start, this book has all the information you need to get and keep track of a good coupon collection within a month or so.
