Coupon Resources

Here is how I get my coupons and save money at the Store:

1. I always (most always!) get a Seattle Sunday paper at the store. Sometimes Safeway will have them even on Monday. Jason and I have been known to drive around town on Sunday night trying to find a paper, though!

2. I subscribe to The Grocery Game - Great tool to use to save money at the grocery store! Below is the cost that I pulled from the website. The site is not updated until Sunday nights and the ad is only good through Wednesday. So you have to do your shopping Sundays, Mondays or Tuesdays. They will tell you what coupon you need and a link to online coupons. Safeway will match a store coupon (pick up a copy of the ad on the way in the store) and a manufacturers coupon. I have saved over 50% on my bill and had my cupboards well stocked.

The cost for a 1 store membership is $10 every 8 weeks. That works out to about $1.25 per week. A 2 store membership is $15 every 8 weeks, a 3 store membership is $20 every 8 weeks and so on.

3. I go to Safeway.com to make sure that the deals that are on the Grocery Game are valid in our area.

4. I am an avid blog reader. Here are some of my favorite blogs for finding great deals. Most of them will post links to coupons from various online sites. They will also link to the coupon. Stay on top of them, though. Usually when they post a special deal, it can go fast.

Stretching a Buck - my favorite resource for Target deals. She also has Walgreens if you shop there, and Walmart sometimes. Please note that she is not in the same area as us, so double check the Target ad to make sure the they have the same deals.

Kingdom First Mom - tips, freebie lists, giveaways, deals, etc.

Thrifty NW Mom - deals around the NW and online

5. I signed up for emails from Coupon Mom. They email me every time coupons.com uploads new coupons.

6. I NEVER do my main grocery & coupon shopping with the kids. Trust me, leave them with Dad and you'll save more money! :)

7. I am a fan of Frugal Girls, The Frugal Girl, Thrifty NW Mom & Money Saving Mom on Facebook. They post links to deals and coupons.

I think that about covers it!
