The Coupon Game

Want to know my newest hobby? I'm learning how to coupon! So far it's been fun. I'ts opened up my eyes to the savings available out there and I don't think that I'll ever be able to pay full price for something ever again.

Here's some pictures and a break down of my last two shopping trips.

  • 2 Kit Kat bars

Total Price Paid: $32.35


Total Saved: $51.01

Okay enough of my bragging! I'm just so excited!!! Have I convinced you to coupon? Would you like some pointers?


The top three blogs that I check for good deals. http://www.thecentsableshoppin.com/ , http://thekrazycouponlady.com/ and http://www.iheartthemart.com/


I get a lot of really great coupons through facebook. When you LIKE a company, a lot of times they will give you a coupon towards their product or even free samples. I usually find out about the facebook deals through the blogs above.


Here's a few links for some online coupons... http://www.grocerycouponcart.com/print-coupons , coupons.com , http://www.couponnetwork.com/ , http://shortcuts.com/printablecoupons .


I mainly shop at Fry's. For a limited time Fry's will match every coupon up to $1 and they will also match other store coupons. Click HERE for a link to Target's online coupons. Just print, take to Fry's and they will accept it. HERE is a link for Fresh and Easy $10 off of $50 spent. It works until May 2nd. Fry's will also accept this coupon.
