Valorie, you can get started right away.

The Deals Blog and the Deals Forum are two great places to learn more about the supermarket specials.

You can trade for coupons with friends or use the forums to reach couponers across the country. Have you heard of Coupon Mom? It is a web site that really helps with organizing coupons for sales. I'll be featuring the site in an upcoming Frugal Living Blog. In fact, maybe I should do a whole series on couponing strategies.

And by the way, did you know that NYC has some of the best grocery flyer coupons? it's true.

Wow Val, thanks so much for sharing the information. Those are great points. I guess I always assumed that they called in, but now that I think about it, well, maybe they don't always.

One question about the medallions...what happens when someone is done with it? Can they sell it to another company or cabbie, or do they go back?

Great article. This is what my preconceived idea of unschooling was in the beginning, based on what I heard. I'm not a homeschooler (I think I want to be someday), but my children all have chores once they hit two, and we do them together. It is a great opportunity to teach them as we share some time together (fractions, science and chemisty while cooking, physics while cleaning out the garage, etc.)
