Information



Sunday/Monday I will be marking where I got my coupons, such as Red Plum (RP) Smart Source (SS) Procter & Gamble (P&G) Also which paper, Pioneer Press or Star Tribune. I will also let you know if it is a printable coupon and where I located it.

 I will delete all the weekly deals on Friday/Saturday, as the deals are good Sunday-Saturday. That will make it easier so there is not a pile up of old deals to go through. 

If you would like to share a deal that you have found, or if you would like to tell me about a great shopping trip, PLEASE email me! I want to hear from you!
Please become a follower!Only followers (money saver) can win giveaways!

Thank you all so much and please spread the word about this site! I am having a lot of fun putting the deals/coupons together. Also email me if you have another store you shop at that you would like me to find deals for!

Happy Savings,
HCL

Rewards

I participate in a variety of rewards programs. If I am already buying the items or searching the internet, why not get rewarded for it? Here is a list of the places I get rewards from!

Search & Win

You can earn "swag" bucks for using their search engine. Also every few searches you win more points. If you print coupons through them, you get 10 swagbucks for every coupon redeemed.
You can save up your swag bucks and than use them to purchase numerous things in their store.



Baby Bucks
Baby bucks is a great program for parents through Family Fresh. Make any baby related purchase at Family Fresh Market and you will receive a Baby Bucks slip at check out. Save $150 baby bucks and get a $10 Family Fresh gift card.


Register Rewards
At Walgreen's on advertised items you can collect Register Rewards. At check out you will receive a slip that has your earned dollar amount, that you can use on your next visit.


My Coke Rewards
If you are like me and drink Coke all day long, or any other beverage made by Coke than you can be earning points. There are codes on qualifying items, enter them and start earning rewards. (The website has a list of all qualifying drinks)


Pampers

Pampers
On Pampers wipes and diaper packages, there are codes. Enter those codes at their Gifts to Grow website and you can either donate your points to charity or you can collect the points for yourself. They have a list of rewards, including some valuable coupons!


Huggies
This program is like Pampers, collect codes from diapers and wipes. Enter your codes to be redeemed towards rewards, or donate to charity!

Recycle bank
 I just started this one! It teaches you about how to live life a little more "green". I earned 140 points quickly in just doing things on their site. I was able to cash in 115 of those for a 1 year magazine subscription!!  Plus you can learn other ways to earn points from things you already buy!

Where to get online coupons

These are different sites that I use to get coupons. It is nice and easy, all you do is click and print.

Coupons.com

Target.com

Walgreens.com

Redplum.com

Smartsource.com

Swagbucks.com

Our Family Brand Coupons

There are many other sites but these are the main sites to get printable coupons. The majority of the other sites will have coupons listed and they link back to one of these sites.
You will need to download the coupon software the first time you try to print coupons, it only takes a few minutes! 

Also the Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune have sunday inserts. These are great coupons and they are not always online. I think it is worth buying both newspapers since you will be making your investment back within a couple coupons! (they do have slighty different coupons in each newspaper Star Tribune has more) Watch the mail! Family Fresh and County Market send out coupon books every few months that offer HUGE savings.Also Smart Source and Redplum send out a coupon in the mail.
