Good Couponing Blogs

These are some of the best couponing & deal blogs I've come across:

GENERAL COUPONING/DEAL BLOGS:

The Krazy Coupon Lady: These ladies blog about grocery & drug store deals, online deals, free samples, etc. They post deals for the upcoming week on Saturday generally, covering Rite Aid, Walgreens, K-Mart and Target. They also often give ideas on how to use Albertsons doublers. KCL is probably my favourite deal blog. They have great beginning couponing info including how-to videos, an extensive coupon database, up-to-date catalina info, as well as answers to frequently asked couponing questions. Their site is a really great tool for both beginning and experienced couponers.

Common Sense with Money: Although she lives in the Midwest, this blogger is another one of the best, with very up-to-date deals. She posts about the grocery stores (Target & Walmart) as well as Walgreens and Rite Aid. She also blogs a lot about daily deal sites (like Groupon) and online deals. She has also recently written a free Couponing E-book and you can request a copy to be emailed to you on her site.

Utah Deal Diva: Although she doesn't put out the same volume of posts as the previous two blogs, this blog is good because she's based in Northern Utah. She will blog about Smith's deals as well as other Utah-related deals. She often blogs about free activities to do in Utah, which sometimes includes St. George. I don't check her blog as often, but try to catch up on it once or twice a week.

Dixie Coupon Chicks: This blog is written by a blogger in St. George, and is good because she posts deals weekly for most of the local stores, including Lin's (which is useful because the Lin's ad is not delivered to our area). She also posts about local events.

Hip2Save:Another good blog with deals that some of the other bloggers miss. I haven't spent much time reading this blog but I'm impressed with what I see so far.

WeUseCoupons.com: If you were able to see the very first, hour-long episode of Extreme Couponing on TLC you will know about Nathan, the "extreme couponer" who bought cases upon cases of Total cereal. This is his site. I haven't had the chance to explore it much, but it seems like a good resource. It seems to be of a forum-type site and not really a blog, so individual users can post their own deals. There's also "virtual couponing classes" in YouTube video form.

STORE-SPECIFIC BLOGS:

I Heart Rite Aid: I recently found out about this blog, which covers Rite Aid offers exclusively. This blog is useful because it features the Rite Aid circulars for the upcoming 2-3 weeks, meaning you can see what will be on sale weeks before the ad comes in the paper. Our local Rite Aid has fantastic management, and they are willing to take orders from regular customers in advance and set items aside for you, as long as you let them know before they submit their order. By looking at the upcoming ads you can see if there's anything that you might want and you can get an order in ahead of time. This can often equate to free stuff if you have the right coupons.

I Heart Wags: Just like I Heart Rite Aid, except for Walgreens (which is known as Wags among couponers). Seeing the circulars ahead of time can also help you print off any internet coupons before they reach their maximum print limits.

Totally Target:  Although this blog does cover other deal happenings, as it's name implies, it focuses largely on Target-centric deals.

OTHER GOOD SITES:

Sunday Coupon Preview: If you've ever debated whether or not to hold off on your Albertsons/Smiths/Lins shopping trip until Monday, this is a site that can help you decide. This site gives you a preview of what coupons will be in the coming Sunday inserts. Since Albertsons, Smiths, and Lins ads run Wednesday until Tuesday, checking this site could save you some money. If there's going to be a coupon in the Sunday paper that corresponds with the current sales circular, you might as well wait until Monday or Tuesday to shop.

Pinching Your Pennies: A huge site with forums, coupon codes, etc. This site has deal forums categorized by state with deal threads specific to Utah stores and deals, with links to the Grocery Smarts lists for each store.

Hot Coupon World: Another really good resource. This site is extensive. It's a forum-style site and has oodles of information. It has a good Couponing 101/102/103 section for beginners. Here's the link to that.
