Some of my favorite couponing sites are Southern Savers and Coupon Divas. I have signed up for their emails and check their sites religiously before heading out to any grocery store. The best part, they also have links to Retail store coupons (like Khols, Old Navy, my favorite Carters, etc.), and a coupon database so if you're looking for a specific coupon, you can search for it and it will tell you where it's located.
So far this year, I've saved over $250 by using coupons. I'm no where near the savings seen on shows like Extreme Couponing because Florida does not Double Coupon which makes me very sad! I could be getting lots of free products if Florida only allowed double coupons. Ah well. I still save a lot of money. And that's important when you have a baby/toddler!
Of course, I do have a lot of coupons that expire (because again, I'm not one of those crazy coupon ladies that just buys things for the heck of it to "stock pile" in my garage!). I read online that there are many places that send coupons overseas to the troops. Families overseas are allowed to use expired coupons for up to 6 months. I found a company through Facebook that links you to families overseas to send coupons to. They're called Coupons to the Troops. I've already linked up once and sent a bunch of coupons, and I have been collecting more for about a month now that I'm about to send over. I love being able to help other families save money! Especially on household essentials!
So, if you're a couponer like me (or even a mild version), be sure to save those expired coupons! Sign up at Coupon to the Troops and donate those expired coupons to a good cause! And I'll try and share some more of my great coupon finds for you! :)
Hey Stephanie, it's fellow bumpie Amanda. Thanks for the info about the troops. I've heard about it but haven't done any reaseach about sending my expired coupons. I'll be sure to get linked up and start sending mine over.
