Everyone always jokes with me, especially my co-workers, about my keen ability to save money!
Today I wanted to share some of my favorite go to sites that are helpful while saving money.
Please keep in mind, these are not sponsored in any way. These are the sites I've personally used that have proven to be successful for me!
A few things to keep in mind while reading about the sites below:
General Coupon policies:
Stores will accept both store specific coupons and manufactures coupons; you can stack these to increase your savings as well.
This site has not only printable coupons, but also allows you to gain points through online shopping, surveys and visits to partner’s webpages (you get points for printing and using coupons too!). You can then redeem points for gift cards to your favorite stores. This site also allows you to invite friends, when they sign-up and earn points, you also receive a percentage of points they earn. The site also has an area where you can view daily deals. This will give you the link to where to find items for the cheapest available price, often times combining it with a coupon code.
Walgreens has their own coupons on their webpage; scroll to the bottom of the page and click on ‘store coupons’, select coupons to use and print. Walgreens also just started a rewards program called Balance Rewards. This free sign-up program allows you to receive points for purchases. You then in turn use your rewards for future purchases.
Walmart also has coupons listed on their webpage; however they all seem to be manufactures coupons and not store coupons so you should be able to print these and use them elsewhere too. You can also click on ‘free samples’ on the left margin of the webpage to receive freebies. Most freebies come with a coupon too!
Walmart will also match competitors sale prices. Bring in the sales flyer from another store and they will match the sale price.
This is by far one of my favorite sites. It’s a blog run by a husband/wife team. They list all the awesome deals they find online and in stores, freebies and giveaways. Their blog also has a coupon database with a search feature too!
Target
Click on coupons towards the bottom of the page; clip and print. These are Target store coupons, not manufacturer coupons, so stack them with manufacturer coupons for additional savings!
This site lists recipes, coupons, and budget recipes which utilize the items on sale that week. Click on ‘specials’ tab in the box on the right, when you see something you like click ‘add to shopping list’. Once you have made your selections, click on the ‘shopping list’ tab, and select print. These are all Meijer coupons and can be stacked with manufacturer coupons.
MPerks
This is a Meijer saving site utilizing your cell phone number to sign-up. Once you do, you can select the coupons you want by clicking the blue clip button. These will not be printed coupons, but coupons you have in your account. When you go to shop at Meijer make sure you login your mperks account (using your cell phone number) at the credit card machine and the discounts for the purchased items will come off of your bill.
This is a blog format that lists links to online freebies. Again, most freebies will have a money saving coupon with the freebie. The blogger for this site has a humorous manner throughout his blog; be warned J
This site lists codes to receive free shipping while online shopping.
Gain coupon codes for discounts while online shopping; search for any store.
Facebook:
The possibilities are endless with facebook! If you need a product, chances are that company has a facebook page, visit the page, ‘like’ it and see if they have any coupon savings!
Also, it never fails to utilize a google search. Type in “Meijer deals week of April 17, 2012” (or wherever you shop) and multiple blogs will list savings!
I hope this post allows you to save some $$ too! :)
Enjoy this day; 12/12/12!
