I love a good deal! Most of you know I have always been a coupon clipper. I used to collect them all and paid to be on http://www.grocerygame.com/ , I decided I could do that on my own and cancelled. I then cancelled my Sunday paper, more because my husband didn't get up off the couch until he was done reading it, than the money. Anyway times are tight so I have done a lot of research this past week on how to save money and get stuff for free.
I have recently found a few websites that I am absolutely addicted to. Most of the sites you get coupons for meals, clothes or spa days for 50%-90% off. I haven't paid full price for anything in a long time. IF you are not using http://www.groupon.com/ you are missing out. You are even allowed to buy from other cities. If you see someone post a link on facebook use it...what goes around comes around :) I post them all the time, I get $10 Groupon money when I refer someone. Someone will do the same to you one day. I check out Arizona, Seattle, CO Springs, Florida, Vegas and many more.
I rarely go see a movie either unless it's free! Tomorrow I get to go see Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore. I'll let you know if it's worth it. That site is http://www.gofo.com/ although you have to have a code to get the free passes. I belong to a few networking things that give me them.
I have printed up very good coupons from the actual store website too. Go to http://www.target.com/ and go to the bottom of the page, click coupons and start saving! I got several $1. $3 off items. I plan on leaving that store with a cart of things under $100 that's my challenge. I challenge all of you Target goers too.
I signed up for http://www.cellfire.com/ and added my King Soopers card to my profile, I uploaded coupons I want to the card, no clipping necessary. I will still use the paper coupons so they will all double.
My goal is to spend no more than $40 a week or less, which will be hard for me since I usually do 1 shopping event a month and spend $100 to $150. This doesn't include milk which we get organic and delivered to the house.
One of the website that I am getting free samples from is at http://www.denvermetromoms.com/. The two ladies that post keep me in the loop on when suppliers put out free samples of products, like tampons, expensive face stuff, laundry detergant and more. I cannot wait to see my mailbox in 4-6 weeks. I'll post pictures. They also post there shopping days. The only grocery problem is she shops Safeway and I DO NOT! It would only help out Denver people unless your Safeway stores run the same adds.
I also currently use http://www.livingsocial.com/ and http://www.weeklyplus.com/ these sites also have the amazing deals I love to save money on. I have not purchased yet due to Groupon usually being a few pennies cheaper.
I'll keep you posted if I find another great deal.
If all you readers can now do me a huge favor and click on the link to the right of this post that says follow me. I am trying to build my blog and my friends and family can start by helping me spread the word.
Happy Savings!
