There is something about collecting coupons that can be quite addictive. Once you get into the habit of looking for coupons and deals online, you become compelled to find more. There are extreme couponers who spend hours every day searching through deals blogs. I can suggest a few great ones for you to start taking a look at.
Free Coupons is a very organized and easy to use website. You can find tons of printable coupons, freebies, deals, coupon codes, and more.
The blog has all kinds of great suggestions about how to coupon, tips for extreme couponing, and even some recipes that won’t break your budget. Out of all the coupon blogs I frequent, this one has the most intuitive interface.
Albertsons Love is “the online community for serious couponers”. This is an entire coupon blog that has been dedicated specifically about the coupons, deals, and weekly ads from the Albertsons grocery store.
If you are brand new to couponing, you should read through their quick and easy “Coupon Basics” guide. It has another guide that answers frequently asked questions about Albertsons. It will teach you things like where to find the weekly ad online, and about the Albertsons coupon policy. This guide is continually updated. The blog has links to coupons, and tips for how to use them.
Mashup Mom is constantly being updated with more deals, freebies, and links to coupons. If you are brand new to couponing, this blog could quickly push you into “information overload”. The first thing I look at on the Mashup Mom blog is the “freebies” section, because they find a lot of interesting freebies. It also has links to coupons, tips for how to best use coupons, and more.
One of the problems with this blog is that it often contains information about the daily deals on sites like Groupon or LivingSocial. By the time I find out about these deals, it is often too late to take advantage of them. The best part about this site is that they have some really detailed information for people who are brand new to couponing.
Freebies 2 Deals is not a blog that I go to very often, but I do check it out from time to time. The best part about this blog is that you can tell it to show you the deals that are specifically from CVS, Rite Aid, Target,Walgreens, or Walmart. It’s nice to be able to narrow your search, and save yourself some time.
The Krazy Coupon Lady is the blog that I save for last when I look at coupon blogs. This is entirely because the website takes a long time to load on my computer (your experience may vary), and I have a short attention span. This is another blog that could easily send people who are new to couponing into “information overload”.
The best part about the site is that it always has tons of links to coupons. Many of them require you to have the software from coupons.com in order to be able to print out the coupons. It also has some excellent advice for people who are new to couponing.
