I frequently encounter people who don’t use coupons because they feel like it isn’t worth their time. If you’ve run the numbers and found this to be the case, I respect that. Coupon use, like all areas of personal finance, is a personal choice and not everyone will find it beneficial or to […]

Many people don’t like coupons. I’m one of them. But with BBQ season now upon us, this is the one time of the year that I do use coupons. If you go to the alcohol section of the grocery store, you will see that many of the wines, hard liquors and beers will […]

Restaurant.com offers gift certificates for restaurants, at discount prices. You can pay $10 for a $25 gift certificate or $3 for a $10 certificate.

September is National Coupon Month and to celebrate, Flash (who manages our Grocery Coupon Guide satellite site) is giving away her stash of coupons including her free product ones. She has some pretty incredible stuff. If you have ever wondered how people save so much at the grocery store because you can’t seem to manage […]

I’ve never understood how the coupon people are able to get those really great deals. Even when Flash explained her $330 In Groceries For $27 I still wondered if there was some type of trick to it which would keep the average person from getting these deals.

Here is a challenge that I’m going to be trying now that I’m back from Japan. Flash, who manages our Grocery Coupon Guide, gets amazing savings with coupons. The type of savings that you hear about in disbelief on the TV - like $300 worth of groceries for $27. It’s pretty amazing stuff, but my […]

I’ve been opening my mail that had been saved for me in the US and among all the junk mail, I found coupons for 30 2-liter bottles of any coke product. These were the result of a game that Coke ran for the winter Olympics where you could get 3 free tries a day with […]
