Try SavingStar!

SavingStar is a site that allows you to "double dip" on the coupons you may already be using.  You can either use their website or even get their downloadable app on your phone.  It allows you to select money back on items that normally already have coupons associated with them and when the balance reaches $5 you can request the money via paypal.  So its not getting it back right away, but it is a good savings anyhow.  For example, this week we needed some sandwich bags and I had 2 $1/1 Glad sandwich bag coupons that I printed online.  SavingStar had a deal if I bought 2 Glad sandwich bags that they put $1 in my SavingStar account.  This week they happened to be on sale at 2 for $5 so after my coupons and the saving star benefit it was like paying only $1/box!  Give it a try at www.savingstar.com  Remember that they way they know you purchased the item(s) is buy using a registered savers card from CVS, Jewel, Pick N Save, etc...

Double Coupons in Wisconsin

I happened to visit my brother in Madison over the past weekend and was able to take advantage of their Double Double Daze at Copp's!

They are doubling ten q's up to $1 with a limit of 6 transactions on Saturday's from now until July 9th.
This week they happen to be offering an instant savings of $9 on 6 General Mills cereals and print catalina's for $3.75 for milk and $1.50 for eggs.
I am now stocked up with 36 our favorite GM Cereals at super cheap prices and I was able to get other items for free or very close to free with the other 4q's I was able to double for each of the 6 transactions.

FYI, They also offer double daze (Doubling 5 q's per transaction) on Wednesday's and their other Roundy's counterpart Pick N Save offers the Double Double Daze (10 q's per transaction) on Wednesday's, so if you live close to Madison, it's well worth the trip!

Walgreens has some great deals on stuff this week.
Yesterday I purchased about $260 of items for under $50!
Lunchables and Deli Creations from Oscar Mayer were 2 for $3 and had a $1 Register Rewards so using the $1 off coupon for each it made it FREE.
The Body Washes were on sale 3 for $10 and I had a B1G1 coupon as well as a $2 off the 3rd and then I got $3 in Register Rewards so I got em cheap.
The Scotch Tape were on sale B1G2 and there were $1.00 off coupons so they were totally FREE.  The Sally Hansen Nail Polish was $1.09 and I had a $1 off coupon so they were only $0.09.  The Glade items were $6.99 and I had a $3 off coupon along with $2 Register Rewards made them only $1.99.  I also had coupons for the Crystal Light, Kleenex and Ghiradelli Chocolates.  By Far the Best part though... Oil of Olay was on sale at $16.99, but I had a $5.00 off coupon with the razors I got (which also had coupons), plus I used built up register rewards of $18, and I got a $6 register rewards for the 2 total effects Oil of Olay lotions I got!!

Koupon Karin Arrives!

Hello, and welcome to my new blog, KouponKarin:

I have used coupons on and off over the past 12 years and decided it was finally time to share the tips/tricks with everyone that I have found useful.  I currently live in the Davenport, Iowa area with my handsome 11 year old son who also loves to save.  As I recently began scouring blogs to find great deals, I found that there were not any that were dedicated to helping those in the Midwest that don't have stores that double coupons.  So I decided that I would help others learn how to get the best deal with the coupons that are available.  I have also set up dedicated blogs to the 3 most common grocery chains in our area, Fareway (FrugalFarewayFinds), Jewel (JumpingforJewel), and HyVee (HiptoHyVee) and will post their deals in both sections.  I will also post here deals that you can find at Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc and any good coupons of the day that you can print out.  I hope you find these blogs useful.  Feel free to contact me at kouponkarin@gmail.com with any tips you think can assist the readers of this new blog and thanks for stopping by!
