    FAQ



    To answer all of your couponing and stockpiling questions, we suggest reading our Stockpiling 101 Series.

    Learn more about Stockpiling Moms here.

    Q.  I don’t have time to stockpile, how do you find the time?

    A.  When you begin to stockpile you are going to feel like you have a new part time job and and honestly you will continue to feel that way for 3 months.  After you build your stockpile you will  just be maintaining it.  There are times where we go two-three weeks without shopping except for perishables!   However, after you have built your stockpile and start saving hundreds of dollars a month you see the reward for your time and you will spend no more than an average amount of time shopping after the initial stockpile is built.

    Q.  How do you have time to organize your binder?

    A. We are very busy and though we don’t have a traditional 9-5 job we are constantly busy with our boys, husbands, our blog and couponing.  Often we clip our coupons in the evening while we are watching TV with our hubby’s.  We keep a routine of clipping every Sunday night and filing every Monday morning.  You need to keep a system that works for you but we suggest keeping up with clipping and organizing because you won’t be able to save if you can’t find your coupons.

    We organize using the Coupon Clutch.

    Q.  Where do you store your stockpile?

    A. We store our stockpiles in our basements.  However if you don’t have space in your basement you could re-purpose a linen closet, store under a bed or purchase a storage closet and place that in a room of your house.  We don’t recommend storing your stockpile in a garage or other area of your house that doesn’t have a heating/cooling source (for example a garage).

    Q.  When I started stockpiling I noticed I was spending more than before I started, is this normal?

    A.  Yes, it is normal to spend more the first month you begin stockpiling.  You will notice that your spending will be less each month and after 3 months is when you are going to start seeing your BIG savings.

     

    Q.  I clicked on a link and it didn’t go anywhere or it gave me a 404 error, What did I do wrong?

    You did nothing wrong.   Links are always changing and often times they no longer exist.  If you get this message it may be an older post or we could have made a mistake in linking.

    Q.  How can I find the Coupon Lingo that you use?

    A.  You can see a complete list of Coupon Lingo at this post.

    Q. I can’t print a coupon, what should I do?

    Coupon printing is often difficult.  Most Internet Printable coupon sites require you to install a coupon printer to your computer in order to print.  This is because the coupons are limited per IP address.  Often times the coupon has already been printed or reached its limit.

     

    Q.  I can’t find what I am looking for but I remember seeing it.

    You can search the stockpile from the front page of our blog.   There is a little box that says search the stockpile in the green box on the top of the right side bar.  Just type in the keyword/subject you are looking for and hit enter.

    Q.  I want to start blogging, how many hours do you spend on your blog?

    A.  We work 40-50 hours a week (and there are two of us).  Blogging is not easy but can be a lot of fun if you are passionate about your subject.  Check out our Blogging 101 Series for tips on getting started.

    Q.  Where can I find grocery store deals and coupon policies?

    This is an extensive list of Store Coupon Policies and Links to Store Deals.

    Q.  How can I find out who won a giveaway?

    Check back to the giveaway you entered and after it is closed the winner will be announced at the top of the post.
