Coupon Resources

Everyone is talking about coupons. Extreme coupons. Printable coupons. Coupon techniques. Coupon lingo.

It all gets a little overwhelming, honestly.

Life is busy and in an economy like today’s we are all looking for ways to shave down our bottom line. With that said, I have pulled together a great list of places I go to when searching for coupons online. Personally, one way I cut back on my grocery bill is by meal planning and always using easy recipes.

If you are overwhelmed starting out, Coupon Mom has a great book with all of the ins and outs of couponing and it is priced very affordable. She will help you cut your grocery bill in half.

Crystal Recommends:

These are my personal favorite coupon resource sites.

3 Boys and a Dog has an easy to read chart which printable coupons from sites she recommends. She also has a great page that covers coupon lingo.
The Greenbacks Gal is your go to site for Organic Coupons.
Luv a Bargain walks us through how to start using coupons and she also shares resources for printable coupons.
Crystal & Co shares printable coupons and great deals through out the week.
Money Saving Mom- great site for coupons and ways to save money period.
Surviving the Stores shares printable coupons and great information on where to begin.
Grocery Shop for Free has a great coupon database.

Reader Recommendations:

Since this page went viral over a year ago (thanks to Pinterest) there have been tons of views and lots of readers leaving their input. I wanted to highlight some of the favorites left in the comments by my readers.

Also recommended by a reader is a book called Couponing Made Simple. I am told the book teaches you an overall plan for saving big at the grocery store and you’ll see immediate results on your grocery bill.

I also look forward to connecting with you over on Facebook and Twitter!

I started getting on the wagon with couponing right before school let out and the wheels have fallen off since my boys have been home! But I plan to start again in September and am going to save all this information to help me understand it better, thanks!

I say your post @ Blue Cricket and I had JUST written about Extreme Couponing on my blog. I watched a marithon on Sunday and it is AMAZING how much people save. I am for sure going to be saving ads from the Sunday paper from now on. Do you coupon a lot? What do you use as your main resources? I looked online but it’s hard to find coupons without downloading a program.
Thanks!

3 lynzie June 28, 2012 at 12:40 pm: download the program its just a printer program it doesnt take up much space =D its worth it

I can’t wait to visit the links. I’ve been clipping coupons for several years now and I’m always pleased with the money I save!

10 Jessica August 29, 2011 at 5:12 pm

My very favorite coupon blog is http://momsbyheart.net/. I check her blog often because she posts all sorts of sales, coupons, discount codes, freebies, etc. I think it is awesome how people share their “secrets” for saving money. Busy, frazzled moms like me need the help!

11 Shelia August 31, 2011 at 8:45 pm

Oh, thank you for these sites. I’ve just restarted redeeming coupons and these will be a big help.
Be a sweetie,

12 Cindy December 10, 2011 at 11:19 pm

You really should check out http://www.theqtippingmom.com She is definitely one of my favorites! Thanks for the list!

13 Mike December 20, 2011 at 2:44 pm

Great list here! http://www.CouponNetwork.com is also a good resource with frequent updates.

14 Kristen January 6, 2012 at 7:50 pm

Thanks for the resources. Found you at the weekend wrap up!

15 Dana January 24, 2012 at 11:28 pm

My biggest thing with learning how to further do this is how do you know if the coupon will be acceptable in my area?

16 Kelli January 25, 2012 at 5:18 am: Dana,
#1 – each store has a coupon policy and most have their policy online. If they don’t, you can stop by the store front and ask for a copy.

#2 – Some coupons say, “Not valid in NV, AR, HI, etc”

Hope that helps!

Kelli

IF you are in the Southeast U.S. check out http://www.southernsavers.com. She will post most grocery and drug stores ads each week and include a list of all coupons that are available for the items on sale, including links to the printable ones. She also has a coupon database you can search if you need to buy something specific. Also included are movie kiosk codes, magazine subscription deals, freebies and so much more! I love it!

I personally go to thekrazycouponlady.com and have found it no to be so overwhelming. It may not have all coupons but it is an easier way to get started on couponing!

25 Jayme June 10, 2012 at 8:56 pm

You should also check out Dealcupcake.com for coupon deals, ideas and tips. Really great and helpful site.

26 Jennifer June 17, 2012 at 9:35 am

I get a lot of my coupons from The Krazy Coupon Lady Site. Another one is Coupons.com.

You’re forgetting about couponmom.com Great site, I use it all the time to search the coupon database and look for store sales/coupon combos. Oh, and I’m not an extreme couponer at all, just enjoy saving a few bucks here and there

34 Madison August 14, 2012 at 11:29 pm

I love this website. Thank you! I am a college student and money can be super tight and so i started couponing because every penny counts. So this sight has really taught me just about everything i will need.

35 Stephany August 15, 2012 at 8:44 am

I, I love this list, and have looked at a few of them.
THANK YOU… but how do you print more than one coupon per paper? It seems that if I am printing then I am using the ink, which cost the money that I will save?? Just asking.. Thanks for your input.

Stephany,

36 Vicky August 20, 2012 at 1:49 pm

Don’t forget WeUseCoupons.com website – excellent tip, how to’s and forums for couponers. Go to couponmom.com for coupon matchups in your area/stores.

Try coupons.com, redplum.com and smartsource.com (creators of paper coupons) for printable coupons. Printable coupons are usually limited to 2 prints per computer.

Don’t bother with ebay, go to coupon clipping services like http://www.couponsthingsbydede.com
for cheap coupons!

Coupons are money in your pocket!! Enjoy!

37 CL Bassford August 21, 2012 at 9:32 pm

Christi the Coupon Coach – Couponing Made Simple is a easy-read book with a step by step plan that takes the mystery out of great savings with coupons. It is not just “tips,” but a real plan. People have saved 70% on their 1st shopping trip and said “this is so easy!” Definately worth it!!! You can get it at Amazon.com.

38 kelsie August 24, 2012 at 4:45 pm

my favorite is mommysavesbig.com, it has tons of stuff and it’s easy to use

39 Judith August 26, 2012 at 12:01 am

I just can’t do it. I look at all the coupons in paper and on sites and I just don’t buy that stuff. Very few coupons for fresh and not processed. I don’t use the chemical cleaners.
I just don’t understand how you can save money and eat decently. I think that I save money by just not buying.

40 KSellers August 27, 2012 at 10:35 am

My favorite is thekrazycouponlady.com/blog There are separae sections for different stores, as well as a beginners tab. Very useful and helpful site to keep me organized.

41 Jessika P August 29, 2012 at 4:35 pm

thekrazycouponlady.com has the most extensive resource I have found anywhere! They also have a really great beginners section.

42 LauraMurdoch September 7, 2012 at 2:52 pm

I like getting my coupons from Swagbucks.com and when I redeem a coupon, I get 10 swagbucks (it takes a few weeks to post). Then after earning 450 swagbucks, I can buy a $5 Amazon gift card. I have $25 worth of gift cards saved up. Try it. Here is a link to join (I will get swagbucks if you do join, so thanks!) http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/momdoch

43 Anjie September 8, 2012 at 2:38 am

Another amazing website for couponing and information on how to is http://www.krazycouponlady.com. This is how I learned how to get started and I have saved hundreds just by following that site!! Thank you for more information!

44 Joelle September 10, 2012 at 10:37 am

Hi. My boyfriend and I think it would be a great idea to start couponing, but we are very concerned if it would actually be worth it. We don’t really eat processed high sugar/sodium foods and don’t have children yet.

45 Emily Parent October 16, 2012 at 11:47 pm: It is worth it just for drug store stuff (medications, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergent, TP….). For beginner couponers, I recommend just starting with rite aid. I like Hip2Save.com for Rite Aid coupon match ups. You can just use printable coupons and save a lot. coupons.com is the main place I go to print coupons, but there are others (smartsource.com, couponnetwork.com) Only thing about rite aid is that you have to commit to rolling your up rewards fairly frequently (every two weeks at least), but you can often get your money back when you purchase items that are free with rite aid rebates. These are super easy to submit for online. If you don’t want to commit, there are plenty of good deals at Target, but you are less likely to get consistently free stuff. The hardest store (but with great pay off) to coupon is Kmart. I have couponed at Kmart, Rite Aid, Target, Walgreens, but not CVC (as we do not have them where I live).

60 CRYSTAL February 20, 2013 at 10:09 am

I have used printable coupons off and on. They last time I tried to use them at my local Randall’s (Safeway) they said they no longer accept printables.

I love to coupon and save money. My moto is “no coupon, no sale, no gittie”. A great site if you decided you want several of the same coupon is Coupons and Forms.com . They are a coupon clipping service.
