The Hubster and I have started working through Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace. It’s a great way to get your finances organized, budget your money and start working towards your financial goals. Because of this I have morphed into my grandmother (I could only DREAM to be as savvy a shopper as she was!) and begun clipping coupons.
There is something fabulous about seeing your grocery bill and then seeing how much you saved. At any rate, I found this website called Coupon Divas, if you sign up to be on their mailing list they will email you when they have new deals. (I’ve only gotten about one email a day.) Right now they have 153 printable manufacturer’s coupons on their site. (This means you can use them anywhere.) And the products are good, one of the problems I’ve had with couponing is that often the product that is “on sale” is something I wouldn’t normally buy. The site is very easy to use.
(And no I didn’t get anything free from anybody to post this…FCC.)
Robin, I am not sure what grocery stores or pharmacy stores you have close by but you should check out http://www.southernsavers.com It is WONDERFUL!!! She tells you everything you need to know. Posts all the deals from all the major stores and you can create your own shopping list just by clicking the products you want. My mom and I LOVE this site!
We're sort of Dave Ramsey-ing it too. Unfortunately, since Obama really hates Urologists we're going to have to do it with roughly 20% less this year. Awesome. I'll have to check out the coupon sites. I've not been much of a coupon-er for the same reason as you — I'm always offered a chance to save money off something I wouldn't buy anyway. I'm going to check out the one Rebecca recommends too. Thanks!
