Coupons

I love coupons. Anyone that knows me really knows that. I'm a Sunday paper subscriber just for this very reason. At my best times, I've saved over $100, and that was at Safeway. Lately, it seems like Safeway and Albertsons are competing with Walmart for business so you can really find some good deals. A good website to learn about coupons and the best deals is couponmom.com. That's where I really learned how to get the best deals. I don't go as far as they do by traveling to different stores, I just use what I have when I go shopping. It helps when Safeway sends those mailers of really good coupons.

I finally got my mom to start using a coupons and she'll give me the ones she doesn't want, which helps me when I really use a product. If you can get a group of friends to do this, you might be able to get more of what you like cheaper.

Times are a little tough right now to stock up on household items like deodorant, shampoo, etc. but you can really save a lot when you see coupons and sales on your favorite items. Couponmom.com really shows you how to do this.

I bought a little organizer for my coupons at Walmart and just keep them in generic categories like beverages, paper products, etc. Some people organize them by aisle, but that's too much for me. haha.

You can get coupons from more than just the paper, there are many sites that offer coupons including manufacturer sites that have online coupons. You need to be careful because some retailers do not honor those coupons. I've had luck with Walmart though.
