Details for above steps.

1. Hiring someone to do it for you. You can do that right here on ebay and you can use ebays favorite search tools to automate the process. First a little footwork. Find a seller of coupon clipping services that will send individual coupons. Let's say laundry detergent coupon services sell for 7 cents per coupon. You know your favorite brand so look for that brand with buy-it-now, paypal payment, sold in ebay stores, and for under say $0.25. The laundry coupons link below is an advanced search for the word "laundry coupons" with the criteria mentioned.    Laundry Coupons  You need to find a coupon cutter that you are comfortable working with.  User a seller that lists the expiration date in the title - you are trying to save time. Many coupon service sellers will combine your coupon purchases for the one shipping cost. Read the description or ask a Q. Check sellers feedback and make a one time purchase of coupons.
2. When you find a seller you are happy with create and save favorite searches for your household and grocery items that you buy repeatedly and are dry or frozen goods. For example laundry detergent. Dishwasher detergent, pizza, cereal. Use a search like the laundry coupons link above but at the items from seller ... search criteria. then click the link Add to Favorite Searches. This link is in the lighter yellow search criteria box on the right side of the page. Use the Add to Favorite Searches page to name your search and save it. You will receive an email when a coupon meeting your search is listed.
3. Get several coupons for the same item. Do this for multiple items. Purchase through one combined invoice. If your goal is to save time and money you must combine your individual items in one purchase. Paying shipping for 1 coupon is going to cost you more than what you save with the coupon. So use the same seller and get a combined invoice.
4. Receive coupons in the mail. Leave them in the envelope in your car. That's right don't bring them in the house they will get lost in the junk drawer. Keep them together in the envelope because their expiration dates are most likely close together. In the unlikely event you don't use them all they will all expire at about the same time and you can get rid of them. I bet we all have a coupon somewhere in the house that expired 3 years ago. ;-)
5. Shop. buy 5 boxes of detergent instead of one. Now you don't have to look for a detergent coupon or run out of detergent for a while. Running out of laundry or dishwasher detergent backs up all your household chores, doesn't it?
6. Do it again. I find that doing this once a month keeps me stocked in the basics and helps lessen those unplanned trips to the store. You will still have to shop for your perishables but hopefully you can get in and out.

Notes: Some stores limit the number of coupons you can use in one time. Ask at the customer service desk. Always use a seller who you have come to trust through their feedback and your smaller purchases. Selling coupons is not legal you are paying for the sellers services.  Yes, you can save lots more money if you find a sale at the store and you have a coupon. But this is the BUSY LADIES' guide. This is so much like a software flow chart some guys might try this too!
