Couponing is something that has become more and more popular recently. With shows like Extreme Couponing, the “masses” now know the secrets that so many moms already know. Coupons really do save you money (duh!) National Coupon Month celebrates those little pieces of paper with dotted lines that allow us to collectively save nearly $2 billion in 6 months (the first half of 2010.) By spending just 20 minutes a week finding the best coupons and deals, the average can family can save at least $1,000 per year, according to NationalCouponMonth.com.
The other great way to save money is to actually buy in bulk. Wholesale stores like BJ’s Wholesale allow you to get amazing deals by buying lots of a product. But what makes BJ’s different from the rest is that BJ’s is the only warehouse club that accepts manufacturer’s coupons. The icing on the cake is that you can stack manufacturer’s coupons with BJ’s own coupons. The stacking policy applies to both multi-packs (use one BJ’s-issued coupon + manufacturer’s coupons) and on single items (one BJ’s coupon + one manufacturer’s coupon.) How awesome is that?
The next time you’ll be heading out to do some shopping, make sure you check out the BJ’s website to get their online coupons. There will also be coupons offered at the front of every club in case you forget. In addition, BJ’s members receive the BJ’s Journal which contains additional BJ’s exclusive coupons. That’s three easy ways to get BJ’s coupons.
By accepting manufacturer’s coupons, BJ’s Wholesale Club is setting itself apart from other warehouse clubs. It is a place where you can really maximize savings by buying in bulk and by using both BJ’s issued coupons combined with manufacturer’s coupons, making it very saving-friendly.
For more couponing tips, make sure you check out this video from BJ’s to help us get the most bang out of our coupons.

go to HomeMadeSimple.com and order their coupon booklet–free and comes in the mail–great P&G product coupons and don’t usually make you buy more than one product to use coupon (plus they sometimes have a higher dollar value).

I usually find the best coupons on money saving blogs. Not only do they have coupons that may not come in a newspaper, but they will tell you which stores to use the coupon in to save the most money.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love sits like Coupon Mom and Cukoo for Coupons that provide head’s up on deals that will match up with coupons. Then, usually on Saturdays, I update my own coupon binder and go through the weekly ads from places and prepare a list.

I search all over the net. It’s the easiest way for me to find them. Thank you!

The coupon codes sites work best for me–several of the groceries in this area are refusing any coupons except those from the paper, flyers, etc., so that has limited my coupon use at stores some.

Blogs are the best way to find coupons unless you are a coupon expert they can help you out. I check my email everyday and the blogs that I follow that have to do with saving money, will have all the new coupons listed, or freebies, or really good sales. Another really good place is Companies’ FB pages.
I’m old schooI, I get my best coupons out of the Sunday paper!
