Ways to Save Big on Those Everyday Items

We all have to shop for everyday items. There is the toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, and many more things that we use every day. The cost of these items are going up, up and up. I am going to give you two great ideas for cutting your costs with little money outlay.

The first thing that we all know about is that there are coupons in the Sunday newspaper. There is on average three types of coupons sections. There is the smartsource, vlasis, and P&G sections. Each week you can get from one to five sections in one paper. Then there are the papers that come out on a Holiday which have no coupon sections. You may not know that there are other places in the Sunday newspaper to find coupons. On some occasions you will find coupons in the front section of the paper. There is also a magazine in your paper called the parade. This magazine has coupons in it also on occasion. When you get your paper you must take the time to look through all sections to make sure you do not miss that valuable coupon. Coupons are a big money saver for you up front. You take the amount of the coupon off right at the register. There are stores that will double your coupons and then there are special sales that some stores run to triple coupons. You must search your area to see what stores will give you, your best deal on coupons. You must also watch the sales papers as well to see where those coupons will do the most good. On occasion you will find coupons in the Wednesday paper as well. These coupons will be located through out the paper not in a special coupon section. The Sunday paper is the most expensive of the weekly papers because of the coupons and sales papers. In the Baltimore, Maryland area the paper runs about $1.50 each plus tax. There are however, stores that will give you a good deal on them, such as Sam's Club and the dollar store. At times the local paper runs sales on their subscriptions, as well.

There are other places that you can get coupons besides the Sunday newspaper. Family Circle, Lady's home journal, are must a few that give you coupons every now and then. Their coupons are for the items that are being advertised in their magazine that month. There is also a magazine called All You. This magazine comes out once a month. It runs about $1.77 an issue. If you watch you may find them on school fundraiser's for a low yearly cost. This magazine runs any where from ten to twenty coupons a month. The coupons they put in are usually of good value. They have put in free Adidas deodorant as well as rebate forms for free woolite scrubber. The magazine will pay for itself in no time. You can find this magazine on just about any store shelf. I get mine at walmart for $1.77. However, my mom found a good deal on a subscription, she only paid $12.00 for two years. If you really want to save money, this is definitely a good start.

You can also find web sites online that you can print coupons right from your computer. These sites are free. There is couponbug.com, boodle.com, smartsource.com, coupons.com, coolsavings.com, and couponsurfer.com. I am sure there are many more but this is some of the ones I use. You go to the sites and sign up. Then you look over the site and print out the coupons you need. You can then take these coupons to your local store and use them right away. There are a lot of stores that do not accept computer printed coupons because they are easy to copy. You will need to ask your local stores if they accept these types of coupons. The CVS in my area takes Internet coupons and the Weis grocery store in my area takes them as well. Here are some of the online web site addresses's that may help you. couponsites
