Wow, Where Did You Get All Those Coupons Part II

 Hope you are all having a good Weekend.  Winter weather seems to have taken hold everywhere, and if you haven't got it yet, just hang on..   There is more coming this next week. I hope you have taken a look at some the great deals I have posted and freebies.  Who do you want to win the Big Game..  I have lots of friends cheering on both teams! 
 I hope you have taken time to set up a new special "bargain and deals" email, like I posted about earlier this week, if not take a minute and go do it before we move on to the other  two great sources of coupons that I have found. 
The first is All You Magazine.  Available at Walmart exclusively, but the manufacturer coupons are not Walmart exclusive.  The last two Months have had no less than $70 in manufacturer Q's.  And yes there were a couple that I wont use, but if I double the others and use them I have more than got my money back.  You can go here to subscribe, which is not a bad price at all.  I hope I get my new subscription shows soon with the March issue!
Another great source of coupons is via your internet and your printer.  There are coupons galore on the internet, for groceries, household good, personal items and also restaurants.  One of the best things I have found is searching for a particular items .com (that's what Colton called them when he was little) and also to see if the item or the manufacturer of the item has a Facebook page.   I have links for Smartsource and RedPlum posted at the bottom of the page under the resource links. They are a good place to get the internet prints too.  There are a lot of rules sometimes with the internet prints so make sure you know the store's policy when you use them.   I really like to sign up and get coupons sent from a manufacturer. It may be a few weeks, but it's coming and once they have your email, you will get future deals, recipes etc in your email and postal mail. 

Online Shopping Deals

Online shopping is a good way to find bargains, and if there is something specific you are looking for I find that I do better than going to the stores shopping, where I am inclined to spend more because I am browsing more.  
One of the best ways to shop that I have found is Ebates.com.  Everything you can imagine and every store you can imagine can be found there.  Imagine shopping at Nordstrom or Kohl's and getting a great clearance deal, a code for free shipping AND a percentage back of what you spent. Imagine shopping at Walmart.com and getting great prices, delivery to your house, AND extra savings.. I mean it's a great deal!   That is what Ebates does.  I encourage you to sign up and look through the deals before you shop.  Your bonus savings will be paid quarterly..  And remember EVERY penny you save adds up!   Other favorite sights you get savings from are DSW (Debbie I thought of you),  Ebay and Target.
