It sounds good, but I'm gonna buy a few Sunday papers at the newsstand and try this out first

The problem with buying a few Sunday papers and "trying it out" is that you will not see the whole picture. Manufactures have a coupon cycle where they publish coupons for an item about every 3-4 months so you won't be able to see the big picture unless you try it for awhile. Also, it does take some time of accumulating coupons before you are able to start using them. It takes about three weeks before you will be able to use any of the Sunday paper coupons and then another 3-4 months before you will find that you have all of them. Remember, you are waiting for a sale to match-up with a coupon. I do offer a 10-week subscription for those who are unsure about getting started. Also, if you really are unsure about this, I recommend that you just spend some time on Grocerysmarts.com. Go through the list and pick out the items that you normally use and it will tell you how much you will be spending after you use the coupons.
