Couponing - Update

A friend on facebook asked me:

"what was that link for free stuff at Walgreens and CVS I think it was?"

So this is a post to answer.

It has been a couple of years since I used coupons a great deal. In fact I had to clear a lot of expired coupons from my binder. I also need some new pages as some are splitting open.


A new site I just started using a few weeks ago is:

http://www.mymemphismommy.com/

This site has coupon matchups for deals in our area and a coupon database. Plus many other deals for our area. And if you are starting out, she has tutorials. Right now her husband is shopping (new baby in the house) and he is blogging about his adventures.

Some sites I used back then are not there anymore. Two are still available:

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/

Many of the members from another site that no longer exists started this site. It has a coupon database and store forums that I use. Many stores are listed, but not all stores have current weeks deals listed. It depends on activity from members. Free to join, membership needed to post.

Another feature of this site is a Walmart pricebook:

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/view.php?pg=price_book_walmart

Another site I use is:

http://www.couponmom.com/

She has many more stores now. You pick the store, and a list is displayed. This list can be sorted by various fields (description, price, percent saved, etc.) She also has a coupon database to search. Free to join.

Hope these helps.
