websites for coupons

The Sunday paper really is the best place to find some really good coupons on products you may actually purchase. Almost every Monday I kick myself for forgetting to pick it up... Occasionally stores will still have them the next day, but more often than not you're out of luck.  Thankfully there are a few websites where you can find some pretty decent coupons. None of them carry the exact ones from the paper but, more often than not, I have been able to find some great deals through these sites. I hope this helps. 

Walmart & Target have manufacturer coupons on their websites; but Walmart definitely has the better assortment of coupons between the two.

Coupons.com and GroceryCouponCart.com both are good sites for finding a variety of coupons. They generally carry the same coupons, but every now and then they vary from each other.

CommonKindness.com has a variety of coupons that are never listed on the previous sites I just mentioned. Some of their coupons are for brands I am not as familiar with, but they also have a lot of great coupons I do use.

Another good place to check for coupons is on the specific websites of brands you often use. Here are a few that often have a good selection of coupons on their sites:

ALDI

ALDI is a discount grocery store that I've stumbled across while researching which grocery stores give you the most for your money. After reading online that you can save a lot more money at ALDI than at Costco and Walmart, I figured I'd give them a try.  Upon arrival I realized there were a lot of similarities to the grocery stores in Europe: you have to use a quarter to use the grocery carts, there is a limited variety of each type of food, and you bag your own groceries. They have a limited amount of common national brand products, but carry very similar items in their own store brands. Their produce is always at a great price on top of which they often run weekly sales. There is no way I would be able to only shop at ALDI, but it has turned into my first stop when I buy groceries.  I try to get as much on my grocery list as possible and then finish my shopping elsewhere, but by doing so I am able to generally save about $10-20 each trip.
