A reader wants to know how to handle the pressure of couponing when getting started. She had a bad experience at a register, got confused and ended up leaving.

I say don't take on too much at once and don't try to do the "extreme couponing" method.

Start with just one or two transactions.  

Couponing is just one strategy in saving money. Be in it for the long haul or you will burn out.

Southernsavers.com is a great website that lists the match-ups for various stores and is a great resource. She often lists beginner transactions for couponers.
