O-so tasty-non-refrigerated pudding-in-a-cup injected with Number 4 yellow, anyone?? … yummmm!

Tiya Roberson-Bolling is a local grocery maven who conducts grocery/couponing workshops and recently, WCNC-TV in NC hosted her for a live on-air blog. http://www.becentsable.net is her favorite and http://www.couponsuzy.com and http://www.afullcup.com are additional do-it-yourselfers.

‘The Grocery Game website is different. It’s not a scam, but many say they prefer to do the ‘work’ of couponing themselves and see no need to spend about $10 every 2 months for a service to do the research of identifying both the coupons and sales specific to one’s local area.

If you don’t want to sort through the considerable paper and info however, you’re in luck. It’s a great and easy to use site. Be sure to have about 3-4 weeks of coupons/grocery sales newspaper inserts saved up before trying them.

Thanks!!

I can recommend CouponMom.com to begin with. This woman is an expert and gives away her ideas for free. This is the amazing part is that women are helping women in finding good deals.

Yes Steve, we do have to be careful of the free trial offers-they exist but not as much as you would think.

I have just found a group of women that help one another. For example I need cat food and cat litter–these little gems of sites inform you how to use double coupons and buy one get one free. I am no way an expert in this nor do I have a big family but I am constantly amazed by what I read and when I talk to the cashiers they confirm what I have been told.

Now my favorite is Target pharmacy! I always used a small neighborhood pharmacy but they were struggling and sold their retail customers to Target. Ok I was not thrilled but I tried them and am absolutely committed. Check your Sunday papers for the Target Pharmacy coupon. You bring it in with a new prescription and you receive a $10.00 gift card. Now that is not a one time thing-every time you have a new prescription this applies. Plus their pharmacists are incredible and accessible.

There are so many of these free-yes free –websites telling you how to work the coupons. Apparently Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS are favorites but I have not been able to figure out the way to use it to my advantage-I think it is more for larger families but I do know they take Plum Coupons, Manufactures coupons and store coupons all together and they even tell you who to call if you are denied by a cashier not familiar with these deals.

I also signed up for the Purina Pet food site. Hershey’s and literally any of these home pages as you will get coupons and free offers.

I will not bore you anymore but a few more places to look: http://www.ppgazette.com/; http://www.mysavings.com/free-product-samples/newest-free-samples/ ( be careful of this site-great deals but not always)
Then there is http://www.harristeeter.com/–what I love about this site is that I get a weekly email that I can use as a grocery list and then combine with coupons–that is what I am learning to do.

So check your favorite grocery stores, hair products, you name it you will find a web site where samples are offered–don’t forget Ulta.com.

Wow I just amazed myself I was not aware I had learned so much yet!

Have fun!

Thanks for that comment. While I haven’t found anything for free yet, I did manage an 82% discount today on $40 worth of food. Knocked the total down to around $7. Not bad considering last week I would have paid the full $40!

HotCouponWorld is great too. It’s an incredibly valuable resource and I wish you the best of luck with running the site.

As you get better at it you soon find that toothpaste (and many more items) are routinely free after coupon. I have not had to pay for toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, body wash, deodorant, and lots of other goodies in years. And buying 15 tubes of toothpaste is not a lot, it is called a stockpile. Now when you run out of toothpaste you won’t have to go to the store and pay full price because you have it on hand at $0.15 a tube. – Keep up the good work!
