Hey there fellow couponers and coupon newbies!

Todays couponing lesson is on the 4 most important things all good couponers remember to do.

I must say that I am in genuine SHOCK at all the interest you ladies have in my couponing. But I must say that it makes my heart smile that so many of you are interested in couponing and in saving money for yourselves & your families.

Because their is such an interest I will be posting coupon hauls, tips, breakdowns and general coupon talk at least once every 2 weeks here on the blog to help the newbies out. I don't want this to turn into a coupon blog so I will be regulating the frequency of the post to that schedule.However if there is an AMAZING deal that I feel like all of my Pretty Girls need to know about ASAP ill post that here also. If you are looking for more daily post couponing or otherwise as always please follow my instagram HERE

Since I started couponing again a lot of folks have been asking for me to bring back my couponing 101 post where I (attempt) to teach those interested on cutting their household grocery spending budget in half. 

Now I only say attempt...because explaining couponing is 10 times harder than the actual act because there are so many rule, variables and we even have our own lingo. But trust me once you get it, you'll never forget.

So to try and avoid information overload, I have condensed a few of my old blogs to give you new couponing hopefuls the basics that will help get you started!

Alrightly ladies....and gents? Lol

It's time for part two of The Pretty Girls Guide To Couponing for newbies! First off for all those reading welcome to my blog if this is your first time here and for all the couponing newbies welcome to the couponing family!! 

If you have not read my previous post on couponing you can check it out HERE. On that post I went over all the basics of couponing that I have learned thus far. I talk about why couponing is a good option, where you can find coupons, spotting deals, stacking coupons ect.

That post contains ALOT of great information for newbies to study and get familiar with. I put that post together to try and help other new couponers (like myself) understand the coupon game in laments term. Because trust me when I tried to keep up with all the couponing lingo and learn from the pros I was confused to say the least lol.

 This post is more of a quick tip guide to refer back to from time to time to help when your collecting your coupons, checking deals learning the coupon game and making your purchases.

Below you will find my top 15 tips that will help you be successful newbie couponer ☺️

If your following me on Instagram I'm sure you have seen all of my couponing escapades this past week. That's right couponing! Not all couponers are like the crazy women on TLC with bunkers full of crap they may never use.... Some couponers are just your average everyday bloggers that like to save their hard earned coins.

But how did I get started you ask?

It's everyone's favorite time of the month...

Das right! Target Clearance Time!

I am going to commit myself to bringing you guys a list of new Target clearance items every month. Each month the list will help you furnish a different room in your home or apartment or help you stock up on some much needed essentials for the low low.

This months focus is the bathroom! I've also thrown in some other helpful and dope Target home clearance.

I have to admit its been forever since i've spent more than a few minuets in Target picking up the essentials. 

Lately I've been on the go so much that my usual clearance shopping and couponing have pretty much gone out the window, but yesterday as I strolled down the aisle to get water a beautiful red clearance sticker caught my eye.

It was a Nate Berkus vase (JACKPOT) and we all know that one red sticker leads to another. The next thing I knew I had a cart full of home decor clearance and just like that, I was back on the clearance hunting bandwagon!

Nothing says Summer time like spending time outdoors. 

Just imagine it. 

Feet up, breeze blowing, sipping on a sangria with not a care in the world =)

 That was me two days ago on my brand new patio set from Target.

I was able to furnish my while patio for a smooth $80.00 and I'm going to show you how to do the same thing!!

If you haven't figured it out yet, Target clearance hunting is my JAM!

I get a rush of adrenaline every time I find a great piece of unmarked clearance or an amazing deal on something i've been eyeing.

The only thing that makes me more excited than that is being able to share all these deals with so many of my followers that otherwise would have time to search for them on their own.

I LOVE passing deals along & with that, lets get into this weeks finds filled with electronics, bedding, home goods, and summer items.

And don't forget to look out for the next installment of The Hunt in 2 weeks!

By now, you all know that I'm pretty good at finding Target deals.  Like I pretty much have red tag radar. But because I know that finding the best clearance deals can be tedious and keeping track of what goes to clearance and when isn't for everyone.

I do my best to share the deals I find with my fellow clearance lovers.

So, below you will find this weeks top Target clearance deals.

Ill try to keep this up, maybe weekly or bi-weekly to keep y'all styling for the low low =)

You all seem to love when I pull a good coupon deal out of my hat and this deal right here...will probably have you praising the heavens.

Especially if your a mom with ALOT of laundry to do!

We all know that buying any household goods especially toilet paper and laundry detergent can be a pain in your butt and definitely a pain in your pocket but this week (while you still have a chance) and all next week (if you have a Shop Rite in your area) I'm going to show you how to get Purex laundry detergent for as low as .99 cents a bottle.

And we ain't talking trial size bih!

While most people are slaving over hot stoves to produce Academy Award winning Thanksgiving productions, Shop-A-Holics like me are making lists and checking them twice in preparation for the biggest shopping day (or days) of the year.

We are in full panic mode people!!

 Count down to Black Friday is upon us and true to this shoppers know that scarfing down pounds and pounds of turkey is the quickest way to be tapped out when its time to run for those deals. So while your getting stufffffed I'm getting prepped. Well thats how I used to be, this year I'm taking it easy and thinking more about "us".

In light of recent events and movements like Black Lives Matter...i've become more aware of just how important it is to stand together as a community and a culture. So before you lace up those Nikes for go time, take a second to check out these Black Friday deals from AMAZING black owned businesses and invest some black dollars back into the community!
