Coupons

If you cannot make money from one dollar--if you do not coax one dollar to work hard for you, you won't know how to make money out of one thousand dollars

Now...I have been off work awhile now, for my back...and tho my own business is not doing badly, it in NO WAY supplements the income that I was receiving....So, making every penny count has ABSOLUTELY become very important to me.....

I cannot compete with the Krazy Coupon Lady or anyone of those you see on TV....I will not stockpile or by ridiculous things that I will never in my life use....

But...I do know that my money matters to me...and I am in no position to just throw it away....and besides...why would I want to....

So i coupon...using a few different sites, the news papers and by taking the time to sign up on manufacturers mailing lists....I found two coupon clipping sites as well, that I got good results from and did end up saving me a lot of time and money....

Since so many of you asked what I use and where I find them...i figured instead of inboxing all of you...I should just make this post so that everyone could take a glance and figure out what works best for them....

First always, the Sunday paper, usually P&G and Smartsource have coupons inserts in there....you can also find one or two coupons in the parade insert and of course in the pharmacy ads (which may be different depending of course on where you live).

You can also go to 

www.smartsource.com which will list the weeks coupons...you simply check the box by the ones that you want and when you get thru all of them click print and there ya go (it will print 3-4 coupons to a page, so it wont waste a ton of paper...it also really does not use too much ink, as my ink has been reading empty for over a week and they are still printing totally fine)

www.pgesaver.co 

www.redplum.com

i also LOVE www.coupons.com

now for coupon clipping sites (these are sites where the company clips coupons for you, for a handling fee...which depends on the $ amount of the coupon but is like $.03-$.12 or so....which on a $1 or $5 coupon....still profits you PLENTY!!!!!)....

the ones that i use for this are....

www.thecouponclippers.com

www.couponcarryout.com

like i said there is a handling fee which is shown with each coupon...but its never anywhere equal to the value...i usually order more than one of each....

and it does always save you plenty!!!!!

also...watch your drugstore adds for +ups and in ad coupons which can be combined with mabufacturer coupons...

also...

try watching grocery ads...as though walmart is often cheaper with sales and the ability toDOUBLE coupons up to a dollar at the grocery store(make sure yours does) Giant Eagle does here.... then you often save far more there...plus earn gas or food rewards...etc.

same with the plus up at rite aid and Extra Care Bucks at CVS

its not really as much work as it sounds like....and really....can save you a TON of money at the store...to me that is worth sitting down with ads during the week or pulling the weekly ads up online....

i also spend some time on sundays and mondays going thru it all on the computer..then i write my lists under store names and note my coupons....

like i said....

i am not obsessive with it....nor am i walking away with stockpiles of BS just to be a hoarder with a coupon addiction....

I am just being smart wtih MY MONEY...that doesnt need to be thrown away on something that i can get 10-100% off.....

hope this helps you all!!!!
