- Run by the same people as coupons.com but you can print more of the same coupons from them.
A few other items...
- In order to actually save money, you really should only buy things you were going to buy or need. Don't get something JUST because you have a coupon for it. You're still spending money.
- I've also found that going directly to manufacturers sites and looking up items is a good way to get coupons (Pillsbury above is an example of that.)
- Have a coupon for something on sale? Double points!
- Try eBates.com. You just click on a store you like to shop at (including walmart.com!) and go ahead and shop like normal. The good thing about this extra step is you can get anywhere from 3%-40% cash back on your purchases. You get a check once a quarter. I'm going to be doing site-to-store orders on diapers, wipes, lightbulbs etc. this way.
- The Springville Walmart is doing Double Coupon Tuesdays (I believe it's up to $1 but hey, that's a dollar!)
- If you find a coupon for an item that you get sometimes but don't necessarily need this shopping trip, print it anyway. Print as many as it will let you (usually 2 or 3) and then just save them for when you want them. I keep most of my coupons in the center consul of my car. Perhaps not the most organized, but I know where they are!
- Know the ad matching/coupon policy before you go to the store. Here is a link to Walmart's Policy. I ad-matched on string cheese, tomatoes and juice earlier this week in addition to using my coupons. Don't underestimate the power of ad matching. I saved about $5 doing this. Between that and the coupons I used, I spent about $15 less than I would have if I had gone in not having glanced at other ads or printing a few measly coupons. I understand it might not be a big deal to most people to spend a little more, but it is to me. Go ahead and call me stingy but if I don't have to spend $15 more on the same food, then I won't!
p.s I gladly accept inserts from Sunday papers :)
p.p.s Items that can be used for multiple meals get double "points." That Sunday roast chicken? You can get 3 meals out of it, easily. (Obviously the roast chicken, some of the left over meat for chicken tacos or spaghetti and then boil down the carcass for a delicious, low-sodium chicken stock for soups.)

p.p.p.s I am NOT going to be one of those nutty "extreme couponers" who spend tons of time each week couponing. Craig works hard and I just like to save $$ where I can so we're not throwing away his hard-earned funds.
What other coupon/money-saving things do you do?
Share in the comments and I'll add them here so others can save, too!
