Frugal Fridays

It’s time once again for my weekly list of thirteen things that can help make your life in the kitchen a bit more frugal. This week we focus on websites that can help you save money by offering manufacturers coupons for the items that you were going to buy anyway.

I know that some people find coupons to be a hassle, but they really can save you a lot of money at the checkout counter.  With the rising cost of fuel, the need to save a buck is becoming more and more of a necessity, even for families that up until now have been living well above the need to stretch their dollars.  for those who were already having to pinch, it’s murder.

So get ready to fire up your laster printer… (What?  You don’t have a laser printer?  There’s a $100.00 purchase that will save you several hundred dollars in ink cartridges in the course of the very first year!) and print out some savings.

The Thirteen Best places to get grocery coupons

1. The Coupon Mom: Not only the #1 in Google, but I found that this site pops up in news reports from across the country as well.  550,000 members can’t be wrong!
2. WOW Coupons: Coupons for both the US and the UK!
3. Coupons.com: A well known name in the coupon game, works with Windows and Mac only (Linux users like myself are out of luck here!)
4. The Bargainist: Links to brand-name Food and Grocery Coupons, also coupons for other top-name items.
5. MyCoupons.com Groceries: Supermarket coupon codes.
6. CouponMountain.com: More store coupons.
7. CouponCabin Food and Wine Coupons: Gourmet foods, gift baskets, deals on wine and more.
8. Mommy$avesBig Printable Coupons: Coupons for just about everything, but there are grocery coupons in the mix here.
9. SmartSource.com: They claim to be the #1 Online Grocery Coupon Site… See for yourself, because again the site does not support Linux, which leaves me out of the running.
10. CoolSavings.com: These guys have been around for a long while, and I’ve yet to hear anything negative about them.
11. CouponBug.com: Registration required, but the site definitely looks like it’s worth a look.
12. SpecialOffers.com: Online printable coupons and free samples…  Not too shabby!
13. CouponBar - Web Edition: Not only offers coupons, but can be added to your iGoogle or MyMSN page. (They also offer their service as a toolbar, but who needs another one of those?)

There you have it.  Thirteen places you can simply click-over to and save yourself some money.  I hope this helps!  If you have any suggestions for other places you can go to save, please let us all in on the secret!

Happy TT!
