Today's Hot Topics from the Coupon-osphere!
- Grocery Shop For Free - Kroger Doubles & Extreme Couponing! I think if the doubling stops, it will be gone forever. What I really want to know is how this is going to affect the double coupon trials at some Walmart stores! I really wanted Walmart to take the double couponing national so we could enjoy the perks here, too. If Kroger stops doubling, I imagine we won't see doubles at our Walmarts.
- Cuckoo For Coupon Deals - Travel Size Super Deals. I am officially undecided about the "no size restriction" coupons used on travel size items. I've purchased plenty. I guess, if you have one of these coupons and you don't use that item, picking up the travel size is a good idea. But, if you and your family use that product you're probably going to be better off to use your coupon on the full size item!
- Cuckoo For Coupon Deals - Bad Deal Alert! This is an internet deal for Ugg boots, but thought it was worth sharing!
- Coupon Teacher - October All You Magazine Coupons (did I post this one already?)
- Living Rich With Coupons - Homemade Baby Wipes using Kleenex hand towels. I think this is a great idea! I'm going to have to do the math and see if this is less expensive than buying Huggies wipes!
- Living Rich With Coupons - Microwave Cake in a Coffee Mug; this sounds delightful! Grab a jar of chocolate fudge ice cream topping and I am in! This would be a great little treat when you're just craving something chocolatey!
- Coupons Deals and More - Extreme Couponing Reality
- Krazy Coupon Lady - Just one Sunday newspaper? How many copies of the paper do you get on Sunday? I've cut back to one issue that I have a mail-order subscription to, and additional copies if I see a really good coupon!
- Southern Savers - Learning Sales Cycles. This is great info for couponers! If you don't "get it" right away, don't be discouraged. You may have to watch the weekly sales ads for a couple months before you start noticing the sales trends. Once you start getting your favorite products for a low, low price you'll notice when the prices are higher.
- My Litter - How to Create a Coupon Binder. I love seeing what method people use to organize their coupons. In the beginning, I clipped almost every coupon from the Sunday inserts and put them into my binder. My binder was huge, hard to handle, and full of coupons for products that I would never use. Over time I learned to weed out the coupons I never used and began sorting them into boxes by their expiration dates. I can easily find one if I see a sale. But, now I keep part of my coupons in a "caddy" I made from a recycled wipes container and the others in a "mini binder". I also keep a mini-accordion file in my purse with my "hot" coupons. I'm not in the habit of bringing all of my coupons with me and I do miss some good deals. But, I rarely miss a good deal on the products my family uses the most!
