Coupon Websites and Doubling - a Village Idiot's Guide

I was once a Village Idiot. I actually used to pay FULL PRICE!!! Ugh! The horror! The shame!!


There are tons of coupon websites to choose from; but are you choosing the correct sites? Did you know that the majority of the sites will only let you print one coupon?? Sites that I frequent are:

www.couponmom.com
www.shortcuts.com
www.upromise.com
www.couponbug.com

Many sites you will have to register with them and download a coupon printer tool. I suggest opening another email account for this. Gmail is the easiest to operate with mass emails. You will get a lot of emails about coupons and other offers.

With ShortCuts.com, you can load coupons onto your Kroger Plus Card. So, if you have a Pillsbury coupon for $0.35 off one crescent roll package, a coupon on your Kroger card $0.35 off one pkg, and Kroger happens to have Pillsbury crescent rolls on sale 3 for $5 – you are getting crescent rolls for $0.62. You see, manufacturer’s coupons are doubled in most grocery stores. The coupons from Shortcuts are never doubled. The good thing about those is that no one has to know that you are doubling up on your coupons to save even more.

You must know that coupons are only doubled up to $0.50. If you have one coupon for $0.40 off and another coupon for $0.55 off, which is the better deal? The $0.40 one of course (except at Wal-Mart and Target – they do not double!!!); with the $0.40 coupon, you are really saving $0.80! Better than $0.55, huh?
