Not the crazy lady, bowl you over with her cart, steal every last deodorant on the shelf kind of couponing. Just the normal, save a few bucks here and there type. A few people have asked so I thought I’d write a little bit about it.

First, I follow a bunch of bloggers on twitter and let them do the work for me. They post their coupons and I just scan tweets instead of going to all their blogs separately. Some I follow are PennyPinchinMom, MojoSavings, AFewShortCuts, CouponsDealsandMore, FrugalCouponMom, Hip2Save and MoneySavingMom.

Coupons.com and Target.com have printable coupons that are usually pretty useful.

Slickdeals, BabySteals, KidsWoot and BabyCheapskate usually have some good deals going on. Not coupons really, but if you’re looking for something and they happen to post it you can get it pretty cheap.

Finally, we don’t get the Sunday paper…but I stumbled on a tip to check out the library for older papers that they’re just going to recycle anyway. It may not work for huge city libraries, but the librarian at our little local one was more than willing to set aside the coupons for me. I just pop in once a week to grab them, kind of cool!

I don’t really have time to do the drug store side of couponing (using their member’s card to rack up points towards future purchases). I usually just use them at Wegmans and Target. Wegmans will double coupons up to a dollar and if you plan it right you can use manufacturer AND store coupons to bring down the price of something. Pair that with an in store special and sometimes you can get a pretty great deal.

Do you guys use coupons? Where’s your favorite place to find them? Any tips or hints for me? I’m kind of new at this whole adventure!
