Saving Tips!

Not sure if these are all secrets, but here are some tips to spending less!

1 - Couponing
  • Like I stated before, only cut coupons for items you regularly purchase or items you really want to try. Always cut coupons for items you use on a regular basis! Yes, we have 5 bottles of Eric's shampoo, but it isn't going to expire and I bought it for cheap! Thanks to double coupons and in store promotions.
  • Organize your coupons!! There is nothing worse than taking time to cut out the coupons but showing up at the store either without them or in disarray! You can find coupon holders for cheap, but make sure you organize to your store. I have my coupons in the order of the aisles at my local grocery store.
2 - Company websites
  • If you are a loyal brand follower, go to their company website and look around. Most sites have newsletters to sign up for were you may receive sample or coupons. Other sites may have them right on their page
3 - Facebook
  • Most sites now also have Facebook pages. Like these pages!! A number of them give out free samples, have giveaway contests or coupons. I don't think I have paid full price for my Wholly Guacamole/Wholly Salsa in MONTHS!!

Weekly coupons

Here are some links to weekly coupons. These are the same ones you get in your Sunday paper, although some newspapers don't carry certain ads (the Milwaukee Journal doesn't carry my favorite P&G coupons!!).

Smartsource

Redplum

Coupons.com

BoxTop4Education (there aren't many coupons listed, but it does help your child's school)

**I am sure there are some that I am missing! Please feel free to let me know and I will add it to the weekly coupon post!**

Walmart coupons

Yes, Walmart also has a coupon site. I am not really a fan of it though, unless you have some time. What they do is list the product, but don't tell you what the coupon amount or quanitity is until you click the product. Then it takes you through an adversiting page where you click 'get the coupon'. Finally it takes you to an outside webpage for the coupon. Save the time and go to my coupons page and look from there!!

But, if you want to search through walmart go for it, just remember that I warned you!! :-)

Maybelline FitME!

To continue with the Target theme, if you go to Target Samples you can get a free sample of Maybelline FitME. It didn't ask me any questions regarding my skin tone or coloring so I am guessing that they send you a fairly popular shade (which will probably be too dark for me!). It takes 4-6 weeks to get the samples, but hey. It's free!!

Target coupons

If you are like me, you go to Target a few times a week. Well, did you know you can use Target coupons and manufactor coupons together?! Love it! The other day I got a package of diapers for $6.99. I only wish our Target grocery section was larger!

Congrats Target, you are my first blog!!
