You Don’t Have to Be a Genius: How to organize all of your coupon blogs

You Don’t Have to Be a Genius: How to organize all of your coupon blogs

7 October 2010 2,270 views 4 Comments

As I mentioned previously, I don’t reinvent the wheel and pour over grocery store and drug store ads to help me find the best deals to add to my stockpile. Instead, I read several couponing blogs that match up sale prices and manufacturer and store coupons and tell me exactly how a scenario will work, then I just do what they tell me to do.

I have quite a few coupon blogs that I keep up with (along with my digiscrap blogs, friend blogs, cooking blogs, decorating blogs, etc.), and to the casual computer user it might seem overwhelming.

However, I use Google Reader to help me keep it all straight!

I’m so excited that my friend, fellow digi designer, and fellow couponer, Pamela Donnis is helping me out with this next very important step to help you as you begin your journey into extreme couponing.

Maybe now you are at the point where you really want to go for this couponing thing and you’ve even started to look for coupon blogs that match up stores in your area but are not sure what to do next. Believe me, I’ve been there, and will be the first to admit it CAN get overwhelming. Let me share with you how I keep things organized as I prepare for my shopping trips.

Thanks, Kelleigh! I popped over and see that I am on the right track, as I do use Reader and I’ve already put those coupon blogs into their own category. Now I am completely overwhelmed at the number of posts those few blogs can generate. Ah well, I gotta take it one step at a time, huh? Thanks for the links you shared in an earlier post reply. I did subscribe to those and a couple of others (including Krazy Coupon Lady).

Thanks for all the tips you’ve been sharing. Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for these great posts, Kelleigh! I’ve been “watching” you coupon for a while now and I’ve been waiting to dive in. Well, I have now!!
Today I scored at Rite-Aid: 2 boxes of Playtex, 2 bottles of Dove shampoo, a bottle of Gain Dish detergent, and 1 box of Sinex meds= $.98 plus $3.50 in +up rewards, YAY!! I’ve been shopping more at Safeway as well so I can use the ecoupons with manufacturers coupons…I wish more stores would start that. Anyway, thanks again for letting me in on this fabulous way to save money!!

YAY!! Go Melissa!! Awesome, amazing score!! I was reflecting today (as I was putting away my boxes of Playtex) about how I used to buy the off-brand cardboard applicators. LOL! NOW, I don’t even pay for the fancy-schmancy kind! Hee, hee!!
