If you are just starting on the couponing path, then consider starting with Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart has no frills, no hoops, type of coupon policy.
It makes it easy to get started.
Wal-Mart DOESN'T offer catalinas (register rewards, +UPRewards, ValueBucks, Extra Care Bucks).
They do NOT offer BOGOs (buy one/get one deals).
They do, however, offer something that makes couponers everywhere jump for joy.
OVERAGE!
Wal-Mart will actually PAY YOU the difference between the coupon amount and the item price.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For example:
I had a Tide coupon which specified ANY SIZE item.
I picked up a trial size package of Tide marked 99 cents.
I had a $2.00 off coupon, so Wal-Mart PAID ME $1.01 to take it!

Three of the top ways to save at Wal-Mart:
Rollbacks - Wal-Marts rollbacks are their sale prices. I used to think that rollback prices were their new prices. In other words, I thought they decided to lower the price, but in reality, rollback prices don't last. Rollbacks are simply sale prices.
Clearance - One of my favorite things to use my coupons on are clearance items. You can easily get paid to shop by matching clearance items up with coupons!
Trial Size - Check your coupons carefully. If it specifies 'ANY SIZE' then you will want to make a bee line to the trial size section. I love the trial size sections in stores because I know that I will be PAID TO SHOP!

A few more things to know about shopping at Wal-Mart:
Wal-Mart doesn't have limits on how many items you can purchase. Plus, they typically are well stocked, so you can stock-up while leaving plenty on the shelves for the next customer.
Be sure and print out their coupon policy and carry it with you!
