Websites that I Heart

So, you know how to gather coupons and you can read and speak coupon lingo. Now what do you do? You search the weekly ads and coupon match ups for the items you need from my favorite websites!

My Top 4:

Southern Savers
She posts the weekly ads with coupon match ups each week for all the grocery stores in the South. She also has an option that allows you to print your grocery list from her weekly ad post. I print that list and then I fold the paper in half. Inside that paper is where I put all the coupons I plan to use for that shopping trip. When I put an item in my buggy, I pull out that coupon and either paper clip it to the front of the list, or put it in a ziploc baggie. That way, when I get to the register, all the coupons I need are all ready to hand to the cashier.
Honestly, the Southern Savers website will give you all the tools you need to be a successful couponer. All that I have taught you, has come from Jenny, the guru at Southern Savers. Jenny rocks!

I Heart Publix
If you have access to a Publix, that is my store of choice. IHP is a great site because she posts an early preview of the weekly ad on Monday! Publix runs their ads from Thursday to Wednesday(Wed to Tues in some areas). So, the early ad post gives me plenty of time to gather my coupons for the sale ahead of time. On Tuesdays, she will post what she calls Super Deals. I love the Super Deals! Be sure to check out her website if you shop Publix.

Hot Coupon World
I use HCW when I need a specific item and want to find out if there is a coupon out there for it. They have a coupon database that lets you search for coupons for specific items. Say you really need some Visine, but it's not listed in any of the weekly ads. That's when you go on the HCW coupon database and see if there are any coupons for it. Sometimes you will need things that are not on sale. Especially when you are just starting out using coupons and don't have your stockpile built up yet.

A Few Shortcuts
She doesn't do all the weekly ads or matchups. I think she just does a small highlight of the Publix ad each week. But this girl has some really great deals and coupons that she regularly posts. She also posts recipes that are budget friendly. I just really love her posts!

Other favorites are:
Couponers United

Deal Seeking Mom
Saving Cents with Sense
Common Sense with Money

There is another big coupon website that lots of people use called CouponMom. Check it out and see if you like it. For some reason, it just did not click for me. But there are lots of people who swear by her methods. She also has a coupon database and the weekly ads listed by state. So, if you're not in the south, she might be a big help to you!

If you don't Facebook...you should! Facebook is my "go to" place for coupon deals. It is a great way to keep up with all these websites in one spot. They all have Facebook pages you can become fans of. Then, as they post deals, it shows up right away on my Facebook page. I'm also seeing more and more freebies and coupons found on Facebook lately! Hello, my name is Leigh Ann and I am a Facebook junkie....

If you have other websites that you love, please share them with the rest of us. I'm always hunting for the next great deal....
