The Source of My Savings

Today I was asked where I get my coupons from.  The bulk of my savings comes from the Sunday Oklahoman and occasionally the Sunday Dallas Morning News.  I also clip from All You Magazine and several online websites including my three favorite:
coupons.smartsource.com
http://www.mycoupons.com/
http://www.redplum.com/
If there is something in particular that I need and I cannot find a coupon for I email the company and ask for one to be mailed to me.  By doing this I have received free items like Healthy Choice dinners and Advil. 
I am a big try-it-before-you-buy-it type of person.  I am emailed a link to free samples daily and if I like the samples I enter in my information and I will get it in the mail in a matter of days.  Often, the samples will come with a coupon also. http://www.allyou.com/coupons-deals/daily-free-samples-00411000069695/ is the best daily sample link that I use.

This is the week after a holiday which means coupons are few and far between in newspapers and store specials aren't as great as they usually are - but don't worry because there are still a few really good deals out there!

Homeland in Ardmore:
Williams Chili Seasoning $1.00 - $0.75 coupon doubled = FREE
Gain Detergent, 32 loads $6.99 - $1.00 coupon doubled = $4.99
Maxwell House Coffee $2.99 - $0.75 coupon doubled = $1.49
Zone Bars are still FREE this week with the $1.00 coupon doubled
Chips A'Hoy Cookies $2.99 - $1.00 coupon doubled = $0.99
Hiland Ice Cream $2.89 - $0.40 coupon doubled = $2.09
Silk Milk $2.99 - $1.00 coupon doubled = $0.99
DayQuil or NyQuil $4.85 - $1.50 coupon = $3.35
Langers Juice $2.79 each - $1.00 off two coupon doubled = $1.79 each

Wal*Mart:
Every year Wal*Mart runs specials on Christmas gift packs that often include disposable razors, shaving cream, and deodorant in a bundle.  You can usually use your regular razor coupons to purchase this bundle.  So for a $9.00 bundle special and a $2.00 coupon (sometimes you luck out and find a $4.00 coupon) you are getting a heck of a deal.  Speaking of deals, did you know that the $25.00 Philips Sonicare toothbrush coupon and the $10.00 Philips Norelco razor coupon works on many different models?  Right now you can buy an electric toothbrush kit that has two electric toothbrushes for $25.00 and a Norelco razor that is usually $70.00 you can get for $28.00... They would make nice stocking stuffers and you will save a bundle!

Until next time - Happy Savings!
