I’ve tried just about every coupon organizing method imaginable at this point. The binder method. The whole insert method. The “forget to buy a paper each week” no clip method Now I’m trying something new though. You see, when I think about my ideal coupon organization situation, it looks a bit like this: Easy access to coupons Organized by date of insert No fiddling with baseball card organizers that require me to trim/fold/manipulate large coupons into tiny slots Getting rid {Read More}
You might not realize it, but every time you log into your computer you have the potential to improve your finances. Maybe you are already doing these things daily…maybe you are not.

Do you skim the sale papers for the best prices? Do you know your grocery store’s price match policy? Why not!? Now, I’ll be honest. I always *knew* that Walmart matched prices, but I’ve never asked them too! I am the type of person who dislikes asking someone to do something for me (yep, I’d rather just do EVERYTHING myself and not inconvenience someone else.), so sometimes, I run in CVS/Walgreens and Walmart in the same shopping trip to avoid {Read More}

You can still shop strategically WITHOUT coupons and see big savings! As you know, I’m more of a part-time couponer. I don’t always have coupons on hand, but still look for sales and have success at saving money WITHOUT coupons! We only have two local grocery stores, Harvey’s and Walmart. The Harvey’s sale paper {Read More}
As you may have read, I am NOT a big coupon clipper. I do what I can to save and find coupons for the items I plan to buy, but I simply do not have the time with a husband, 2 small children, and a house to keep tidy, to spend clipping, organizing, and planning shopping trips. You can see my previous articles about part time couponing here and here. Sunday, I grabbed a newspaper, knowing there would be 4 {Read More}
Have you ever gone to Amazon and been amazed by a big discount. Only to look a bit deeper and realize, hey this actually isn’t that huge of a deal…. Amazon isn’t the only guilty party, but this is just a reminder to beware of inflated “before” prices. Sometimes they are very misleading and don’t mean much. Take this Melissa & Doug Construction paper. Normally $14.89 and now on sale for $3.79. WOW! That’s a big discount! Better jump on {Read More}
I admit…sometimes y’all comment on the site and I don’t see it for quite awhile. In this case, someone commented on the coupon database page back in May (totally forgot I had comments enabled on that page!) and I just saw it yesterday! The question is a great one, and my answer can hopefully help many of you…so I thought I’d just make a post about it! Hi, I’ve been couponing for a few months and really enjoying watching the {Read More}
