Sorry I've been away so long!

I am really sorry that I have been away for so long, but I couldn't find anything new to report about my couponing. I was at a stand still and didn't know how to break away from it. Then I realized that I use the best tool to fix my problem everyday...my computer..go figure! I have been searching YouTube videos, because frankly I could never find anything useful on "Extreme Couponing." They never tell you where all those coupons come from. I have been spending money on Ebay buying inserts that I figured out that I can make good money SELLING inserts. It's crazy how much the inserts have gone up I started couponing, so I no longer buy them on Ebay. I usually just print them off the internet, but like posted before I said NEVER download a toolbar just to get the coupons. This is exactly why I am at a stand still with my couponing. I just discovered ways to get free coupons on YouTube. As a matter of fact, I have found YouTube to be a wealth of information for everything you need to know about anything. People are making videos on just about anything.

I did win a genuine Louis Vuitton scarf for $30. Also, the more friends you have the more chances you have to get FREE NAME BRAND/DESIGNER stuff!!

I am buy my summer wardrobe on here since the gas prices are projected to rise to $5 a gallon and to get anywhere from Hampshire county is going to cost an arm and a leg to go clothes and shoe shopping!

Speaking of the rising gas prices, I am working very hard researching the benefit of shopping for groceries and such online instead of driving to get the deals. Wal-Mart, Target, Big K and other stores are starting to send out internet coupon codes and free shipping if you shop online. I never realized that there were so many sites that offered this service until this past weekend. Please keep reading my blog to find out more.

The freebie of the day is FREE pancakes all day at IHOP in honor of National Pancake Day!!!! http://www2.scnow.com/news/pee-dee/2012/feb/27/national-pancake-day-returns-benefit-childrens-mir-ar-3308692/

Freebie Friday!!

Deals 4 Dummies is offering a list of last minute deals of the week and calling it Freebie Friday! I have been on a serious freebie kick since we decided to go to the Outer Banks this summer. I am trying to get as many as I can so I don't have to buy the trial size items to take. I plan on taking some photos of my freebie loot before I leave on vacation, so everyone can see how easy it is to accumulate these little treasures. It has been very hard to keep up with all the great freebies this week and I am truly grateful to Deals 4 Dummies for posting them today. Have a wonderful weekend!!

I Cannot Keep Up With the FREEBIES!!

The FREEBIES are insane and out of control today and this evening! I cannot keep up with them on Facebook..I found another great site and I will post them as long as they keep putting them up. I am also looking into shopping more at my favorite stores online as many of them are offering free shipping. This may become more important than couponing in some cases since gas prices are projected to rise to $5.00 a gallon.

Getting back to the freebie site that I am enjoying tonight. They just put up a free advance screening of The Lorax if you have an American Express card. Now THAT is a tremendous freebie!!

CVS Match-Ups for FREE items!!

Going along with my freebie theme, there are great ways to get free items with what the coupon world calls "match-ups." This type of savings happens when you use your store card bonus privileges along with internet coupons and/or insert coupons. There are so many saving sites that keep up with them that it's insane. One of my favorite sites for match ups is http://www.frugallivingandhavingfun.com/ This site is very up to date with many offers and freebies. It also keeps up by posting the CVS Extra Care match up deals weekly.

Another great Freebie site!!!

I have found another fantastic Freebie site...this one is well organized and puts offer links up daily..remember, NEVER click on a Freebie site that you see in an online ad, only sign up for your goodies on a real Freebie site. The owners of these sites do everything possible to keep their information updated and usually take you directly to the sign up for Freebie page. Also,search through Facebook and join Freebie sites and you can get updates hourly! Have fun!!! :)

FREEBIES, FREEBIES, FREEBIES!!!

I have gotten many requests and questions about freebies. The very first thing you need to know is NEVER click on some site that "claims" you will receive free items. If the site takes you through a dozen splash pages and asks you to choose a magazine subscription, free credit reports,or taking surveys online, it is a way for those sites to have get permission to spam and call you relentlessly. Through the next week I will be featuring sites where I have scored some great freebies, my favorite being a four pack of sugar free Red Bull and full size at that!

Check out this site http://www.iheartfreebies.com/
This is one of the first sites that I discovered and have gotten everything from free underware to an Atkins diet program candy bars (they where absolutely delish!) This site keeps all the freebies up to date, so hurry up and claim that free stuff, including free perfume and fast food treats! Please remember to NOT click on the ads in the side bars and top bars of the site...stay within the freebies of the actual site :)

nomorerack.com

There is an awesome website that introduces fantastic deals at noon eastern/standard time....One day, eight deals!! The best deal of the is a diamond journey necklace worth $189 on sale for $20...that's an 89% savings!!!

This site has been endorsed by Martha Stewart, People magazine, USA Today, The View, The Miami Herald,Country Living, and House Beautiful. They have everything from feather weaves for your hair, watches, computers, ipods, and the list goes on, BUT you have to be very quick to get the best deals. I have not been able to score any uber electronics, but I did get a real Louis Vuitton scarf for $30. http://www.nomorerack.com/?cr=2291743 Good luck and let the savings begin!!!!

More and More Couponing Sites Popping UP!

It's un believable how many couponing sites that are popping up on the internet. This is a great thing as the admins of these sites do all the leg work for you. The most recent one I've found is http://grocerycouponfree.net/

I like this site because they don't just find coupons for just food, they find coupons for WINE..even if you don't drink, wine is a great hostess gift for a dinner party. This site also has tons of printable coupons!!

I should write this in a seperate thread, but I have to brag about my first great freebied of 2012...a 4 pack of sugar free Red Bull. Freebies are great and I have been signing up for them WAY longer than I have been couponing. This site is out of control with freebies and your items get shipped FAST! http://www.ilovefreethings.com/

Buying Coupons on Ebay

Instead of spending a ton of money buying newspapers that no one will read, I have been buying the majority of my coupons from Ebay. Start by setting up an Ebay account and start looking for either inserts or coupons that have been already cut. You can also search for specific brands or companies that offer coupons. You can also make money by selling the coupons that you don't use back on Ebay, but make sure that they have a long experation date before you get into the game of selling your left over coupons. You want to keep your fellow Ebayers happy AND you want 100% positive feedback on your account. Here's a link if you already have an account of the "buy it now" already clipped coupons http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?rt=nc&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=grocery+coupons&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301

Happy New Year!!

I know, I know, I have not been on top of my blogging, but the holidays got the better of me and I just did not have time to sit down and write.

If you are wondering about how the coupon inserts are for the beginning of this year, I can honestly say that they are fantastic. The Sunday papers are going out of their way to put in better inserts especially last weeks paper. I have learned that the beginning of the month and the end of the month are the best times for quality inserts. If you don't want to buy the entire paper, Ebay is a great place to buy inserts.

Another topic I would like to address is all the couponing sites that keep up to date on all the sales, match-ups and freebies. This site http://www.deals4dummies.com/ has great info for everyone, even those who want to find a job making extra money at home. Hopefully, I will be able to put up all the sites that I belong to, so I won't have to copy and paste so much information at one time.

Have a great day and remember.... COUPONS=MONEY!!!
