Luke & I are trying to live on a budget now...we're saving for numerous things, trying to pay off debt, etc. So...we've become even more frugal (I know...who thought that was possible for Luke? :) Anyway, I've been looking for ways to save money, etc.
Let me share a few with you:
Excellent websites for tips, coupons, etc. This woman is a stay-at-home mom who is dedicated to finding good deals. Her site is almost overwhelming--there's so many coupons and deals. You can also follow her on facebook.

I'm new to her site, but so far, she's got some things on there that PPM does not.

Again, a mom who is dedicated to saving her family money.
Target ecoupons (I LOVE these!)
http://coupons.target.com
www.coupons.com
numerous different manufacturer's coupons--changes weekly
I also LOVE extra care bucks at CVS. Fabulous. If you like saving money, this is an excellent way to do it!
Key to using coupons--
1. see which ones you can "stack" or double up on--Target coupons and manufacturers coupons you can. I just did this and got 2 boxes of Huggies wipes for $3.50!
2. Only use the coupons for products you would normally buy. If you are only buying it because it's on sale can get you to spend more money!
3. Stay organized. After you make your shopping list, see if you have any coupons for those products.
4. Check out newspapers and the weekly shoppers for deals.
Happy saving money!
You should also look for coupons at smartsource.com and redplum.com. :)
