What I've Learned About Couponing So Far part.2

Probably the only good thing about the economy being bad is tons of coupon sites popping up all over the place (like the one your currently reading). These sites are great in that you now longer have to spend hours combing through the internet on your own. These sites have already done that for you and they post the deals for their readers too, awesome right? There are four couponing sites I'm aware of based in Alaska, this is one of them.

Alaskan Bargain Hunter is definitely the best Alaska coupon site out there. Yes, even better than mine I know its hard to believe ;), but I am just getting started.  She lives in Anchorage since she has deals for Target, CVS and etc, which are places the rest of Alaska does not have.

Alaska Coupon Divas have deals for places in the lower 48, which includes places Alaska does not have.

Couponing in Alaska has not been updated since march so I would not count on this site.


Of course there are tons of non Alaska sites. When using them you just have to keep three things in mind. We do not have all the stores they do so we can not get all of the deals. The deals are going to be more expensive up here. Not all of the internet deals ship to Alaska (or Hawaii) also not all of the free shipping works either. That being said my favorite site is Raining Hot Coupons she also has a Facebook page which I would definitely recommend liking. Another great site is Woman Freebies they have a Facebook page but I think more valuable is there email list so subscribe to that. All You is a magazine devoted to saving money. Their November issue had so many coupons in it the issue paid for itself. They have a daily freebie email I would sign up for that and they pretty much always have a sweepstakes or contest running. I have not found the grocery circular roundup helpful, the circulars from the paper have way more sales in them.

Facebook is a wonderful place to get coupons, almost all of the products you buy have Facebook pages that will randomly put up coupons and free samples. In fact to get those free samples and coupons you have to like their page, and a lot of the offers have a limited amount, so you have to be quick.  If you have something you buy quite frequently, I would recommend seeking out their Facebook page since fans usually get notice ahead of time when they will go live.

A surprising place to get coupons is Walmart's website scroll down its in one of the boxes on your left.

Or instead of going to all these sites you could just follow mine and like my brand new Facebook page ;)
