Finding Coupons and savings.

There is a lot of money to be saved by people if you take the time to find coupons. Since I moved away for college I had to be able to locate coupons in a foreign area. I have compiled a few different ideas on where you might be able to search for savings.
  • Newspaper ads - You would be very surprised at how many ads can be packed into the Sunday papers of many metro area newspapers. Many times I have found that the small price of a Sunday newspaper can be made up for by the amount of savings that can only be found in the ads contained within.
  • Mailers - This is that stuff that appears to be junk mail. It seems to me that 90% of the time it is junk mail but every so often there will be some really good coupons included in mailers. I normally find coupons for all sorts of random things in these mailers...ie oil changes, carpet cleaning, and over various services that people normally pay full price for.
  • Online coupon sites - I have found these to be very quick and easy to use. Here are a few to check out. These are just a few that I use. There are others out there if you don't feel satisfied with these.
  • Online Deal Site - The place where I saved the most of amount of money on purchases has got to be SlickDeals. I have found many great deals on thing that I needed/wanted to buy. Its one of the first places I look if I need a great deal on almost anything imaginable. The layout can be difficult to get use to but once its mastered it is a very powerful tool for saving money.
