My weekly budget for my family is $100. I use that money to buy groceries, pet food, paper products, coupons, over the counter medications, health/beauty items, cleaning supplies, coupons, etc. If I didn't have the help of the internet, I don't think I would be able to do it!!
There are TONs of money-saving ideas and promotions going on all of the time. It's almost overwhelming trying to figure out where the best deals are, even WHAT the deals are! That's where I get my help from the internet.
I try to keep my internet time simple and focus on just a few sites that make up the core of my savings... refundcents.com, iheartpublix.com, smartsource.com, redplum.com, etc.
Refundcents.com is my #1 source for savings. It is a subscription site (less than $20/year) and you are MORE than paid back for it in a very short time... the first month!! After you join, you can earn free months on your subscription by writing articles or sharing pics of your shopping trips. Refundcents also has a non-subscription side where you can check out grocery boards (people post info about store-specific sales, etc) and get a small peak at what is happening in the world of savings!
Refundcents is about much more than just coupons! There are also trading boards, printable rebate forms, chats/forums on stretching your money, discount codes for online shopping, etc.
Probably my most favorite part of Refundcents is the way the post the sales for CVS, RiteAid, and Walgreens. Each week they produce a file that tells you what the sales are and how to get the most out of the savings by identifying manufacturers coupons, printables, etc. This is how I've been able to get toothpaste, shampoos, razors, deodorant, etc for FREE for over a year now!
My second favorite part of Refundcents is the chat board. Here you find out what deals others are getting and how to get them for yourself! By the way... I'm not just talking groceries... I'm talking travel, clothing, househould goods, etc!
If you want to check it out... the best time to do so is this Thursday (today!) and Friday (7-8 May). They are have their "free weekend". Here's a link to the site refundcents. This my referral code. The username you need to use is "clipping" and the password is "coupons". (No quotes, of course) If you are interested in joining and would like to use my referral code, please PM me.
