Superpoints
Superpoints is a invite only reward site. You earn points by filling out surveys, watching videos and completing offers. They also randomly send free points to your inbox and the awesome super lucky button were you get points just for clicking the button! it's pretty easy and they have some of the best prizes I have seen out of sites like this. Like I previously said it is invite only! below are some links but if they all get taken email me and I will send you another one :) frugalinfairbanks@gmail.com
What I've Learned About Couponing So Far part.3
Daily Deal Sites are an awesome way to get a deal. A great thing about the clothing on these sites is your chances of someone else wearing it are pretty small. A great plus in Alaska where you see about 15 people wearing what you are on a given outing. This also works great for baby showers where you want to give something you know they do not have or will get multiple times (carters, carters, carters....ooo look at this cute carters thing lol) or you just want to shine as having brought the cutest outfit ;) However they lure you into buying things you wouldn't normally just because its only available for a limited time and they have a limited amount. You just have to remember to ask yourself do I really need this? I'm I really going to use this? I ask myself this all the time when the absolutely adorable baby outfit is on Totsy or Zulily. All of these sites below will send you a daily e-mail some people have a separate email for all of there couponing type things. I do not since I know I would never check it and would just miss out on everything.
Rue La La has deals on pretty much everything sign up and get $10 (you have to click on the link)
HauteLook similar to Rue La La but more fashion oriented. They have womens, childrens and mens (although I don't think my husband would where anything they offer)
Totsy has deals on all things for your kids and a few things for parents to. right now they have Melissa & Doug toys!
Zulily another site for kids and parents. They seem to have cuter stuff allot of the time then Totsy, but hey whats stopping you from singing up for both?
ebay also has daily deals there jewelry deals are really really good. You have to sign up separately for this e-mail
Groupon Not so much a daily deal site. They have deals on outings restaurants and business. They do not have Fairbanks though only Anchorage.
And last but certainly not least No More Rack they have eight deals everyday and there super great deals! Only thing is they go live at 3am Alaska time so if it's say a 42" LG TV for $150 it's gone by time we all get up (yes that really was a real deal!). NMR also does insanity deals PS3 for $26.54, Apple iPad 2 for 43.20, and tons of other things. The catch is they put the items up randomly and they only put up a handful maybe even only 1. Needless to say you have to be lighting to get one.
Of course when shopping online do not forget to use your Shop At Home account so you get your cash back! some of the sites above do qualify making them a even better deal!

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 ;)

What I've Learned About Couponing So Far part. 1
I've only been couponing for a short time but so far I love it to death. Of course things are different Alaska couponing versus the rest of the U.S. In Alaska we hardly get any inserts in our papers, thanks to a low population rate and a wide demographic company's just do not know what to do with us. That's why a Alaska couponers two best friends are IP's (Internet printables). And a friends or relative in the lower 48 who either owes you favor or just really loves you that much. I am not ashamed to say I have hit up a bunch of friends and family to send me coupons ( and in case your reading this please please please send me coupons..... oh and I love you all).
Of course there are sites were you can order coupons from the Sunday paper, or the whole insert if you like. They are kinda spendy though and I really do not understand the point of spending $30 on coupons. In my opinion this kinda defeats the purpose of couponing. By the way allot of the people on extreme couponing use these services either that or they buy like 50 papers, or both. Now a few cents on stamps for relatives to send you coupons seems like a more cost effective option.
The internet houses quite a few coupon sites but allot of them have the same coupons. Unless your super into couponing and feel like spending hours looking through sites (totally guilty on this one) there are seven sites where I get the majority of my coupons.
The site were I get most of my coupons is coupons.com. This site seems to have the best overall mix of coupons and you can enter you store cards to load electronic coupons, both Fred Meyer and Safeway cards. There is also shortcuts.com but pretty much all of their coupons are on coupons.com. Coupons.com and Shortcuts do both IP's and electronic coupons.
My second favorite coupon site is savingstar this is a electronic only coupon site and only a very few of their coupons are doubled on other sites.
The three inserts that you will see in the Sunday paper all have their own websites its about 50/50 on coupons that are doubled on other sites. And no they do not have their Sunday insert coupons online in case you just got super excited ;). P&G which I am currently getting a server error on, smartsource.com and redplum.com.
Both Fred Meyer and Safeway have electronic coupons you can load on your card. Some of the coupons are doubles from the above sites though. You create a online account and you must know your shoppers card number (its beneath the bar code) for all of you who lost their cards sadly your phone number will not work. Another nice thing about this is you do not have to fill out all that paperwork when you want to change you phone number, address, or name you can just update it online.
A great IP on coupons.com right now is a bunch of glade coupons. This is great for all you people out there who have fake trees and miss that real tree smell. Glade has special holiday scents out and one of them is Spruce it up! enjoy the coupons and that new tree smell. ^_^

Best Shopping Trip Yet!
I'm writing this on commercial breaks of Extreme Couponing. Pretty sure those people are my new hero's. Anyone out there not using their insert's? I know a good home for them! I think I'm starting to border on obsession with couponing.... I'm seriously contemplating dupster diving for coupons. The only thing holding me back is that its getting really cold out. But come summer I have a feeling my new home will be the recycle bin. I really really wish I had more inserts from the 6th. There is a coupon for BOGO Schick disposable razors and guess what! at Fred's these razors are on sale for BOGO which means absolutely FREE razor's!
I had my best coupon shopping trip ever today thanks to the BOGO sale on Schick razors at Fred's. My total was a whopping $92.62. I stood there about to die thinking to myself what have I done! But I just went with it and handed over my coupons and watched the total plummet to a grand sum of $22.27. That was the best feeling ever, next to getting married and seeing my baby for the first time of course that is ;). For that 22.27 I got 2 Schick disposable razors, 2 Schick women's razors, 2 Schick men's razors, 2 Schick men's razors refills, 2 bags of halls cough drops, 1lb of carrots, Organic Coconut oil, a surprise for my Dad for Christmas I couldn't resist and the Ghiradelli Peppermint bark I also just HAD to have. That's about the same price as just the 2 razor refills alone.
I got a new file holder for my coupons, hopefully this works better for organizing them. I've seen other ways to organize them. The most popular seems to be the coupon binder, I think a binder would be to big and bulky for me though. Plus my file is very cute, does not really look like a file holder at all. More like a cute clutch.
The Black Friday add for Walmart went online today also very exciting. It looks much more impressive than the Fred Meyer sales I must say. Lot's and lot's of electronic deals $19 for a HP printer is a sweet deal. That's about half the cost of new color Ink alone for my printer. I was really hoping that someone would have the little people talking zoo for a super awesome price but I think I'll be out of luck. $18.92 for a Ninja is a deal I might have to take advantage of, depending on what all it comes with of course. I almost don't want to shop at Walmart what with being open on thanksgiving this year. Also being open at midnight is a annoyance and Walmart's add has prices for 3 different times! Yes were all used to adds with the deals that stop at 9, 10, or noon But three different days is going a little overboard.
Lastly on my mind is a better name for my blog. Somebody out there must have a better name idea. Which really it wont be that hard to beat my current name.

Yay!!! first blog post
So I have decided to make my many wasted internet hours into a somewhat productive time by writing a blog that maybe someone will enjoy.
Let me first say that I super stink at grammar, so please have mercy on me and overlook all the vast amounts of grammatical errors that I'm sure will be in this blog. Graduating with a I.T degree really does not help the grammar side of things as you pretty much talk in acronyms.
I am a proud new mother of a little boy who in my husbands and mine opinion is pretty much the cutest thing ever. I also think he has recently started teething. His recent crankiness, ability to soak through a sweater and undershirt, and wanting to chew on everything has tipped me off. He thinks his hands are pretty much the yummiest thing ever.
I am married to the best guy ever. well most of the time ;). Case in point would be earlier today when we were watching TV he has this habit of putting on the dumbest thing on at the time. Now usually when I ask why he's watching this he says he was flipping and not really watching it at all. This however can not be believed as he leaves the annoying thing on for way longer than the other flippy channels. But today as I was saying yet again that he was leaving the stupidest things on way to long and he HAD to be doing it on purpose! He admits that yes he does enjoy the stupidest thing on TV. Only for the fact that he loves it when I get all riled up about it.... I feel strangely vindicated yet defeated about this. Definitely a face palm moment.
I also have a mad love for couponing. This love is the child of always getting a thrill out of finding good deals and my husband still being in college. I really should be planing my shopping list right now since I'm going shopping after picking my friend up from work tomorrow. I'm gonna grab some .8 cent trail size toothpaste which I'm pretty excited about and some .33 cent first aid kits. Along with some other goody's I'm not quite sure about the price yet.
Let me first say that I super stink at grammar, so please have mercy on me and overlook all the vast amounts of grammatical errors that I'm sure will be in this blog. Graduating with a I.T degree really does not help the grammar side of things as you pretty much talk in acronyms.
