I have used coupons a few times in my entire life, but I want to figure out how to REALLY use them! The reason I so rarely use them is because I don't know how to effectively use them so that they are not just a hassle to use!

Anyone care to share their organization tips, how you shop, where you shop, when you shop, etc?

I live over 2 hours from the nearest town, so I don't have much time to scout out stores. I prefer not to shop at all, but am willing to do so if it means that I can save alot on my groceries. I don't want to buy anythig I don't need, I am only interested in the sort of things I normally use- groceries, housecleaning items, beauty products, etc.

Also, I typically shop at Walmart, and spend around $400 per month on groceries.
