Just an FYI about some additional info I have added over the the sidebar.
1. I added a page called: The Basics: Sign Up!. On this page you will find a list of sites to sign up at for high value coupons, special offers, new products and giveaways. Check it often because I will add new links as I find them.
2. I added a new money saving blog to the list. Check out Couponing for 4. I added this link because I see some good area grocery stores listed as part of their regular posts.
3. I have added a category called "Sources for Coupons". In this area you will find links to coupon trading and clipping services.
4. I added the Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database to "Coupon Search". I hope this one can fill in the blanks that Coupon Tom leaves out. This database has MIR's listed as well as printable sources and the insert coupons.
I am trying to make this site the best source for you with links to get all the info you need for the sales and freebies. If you run across a new blog that you think should be added, send me a note. If you find some other frugal tips or info that you think would be helpful to everyone, please let me know.

Buying Whole Coupon Inserts
MoneySavingMadness blog recently posted about Coupons & Things By Dede. This is another coupon clipping service but this one is unique. This clipping service allows you to purchase clipped, individual coupons OR complete, unclipped, whole coupon inserts.
This is a great way to buy inserts if you can't get the Sunday paper delivered or if you don't get the "good" coupons in the inserts for your area. I just created an account so I could get an idea of what the inserts cost and the most recent insert listed sells for .85 plus shipping and handling. This site boasts that they ship the same day on most orders. If I ever need any extra coupons I am going to give it a try. If you use this service, leave a comment and let us know what you think about it!

Bayer Glucose Meter MM @ Walgreens
For the entire month of January there is a spectacular MM on Bayer Glucose Meters. This is a double dip scenario that produces RR's from two different offers. Here's what you do:
Clip (2) the Bayer Glucose Meter coupons from the 10/25 RP insert. The coupon is for up to $30.00 off your meter purchase. You will need multiple inserts to make the most out of this deal.
In one transaction:
Buy 1 Bayer Breeze-2 meter for $14.99 and use one coupon (UPC code of the meter is 3 0193 144001 0 and it's in a green box)
and
Buy 1 Bayer Contour meter for $14.99 and use one coupon (UPC code of this meter is 3 0193 715101 9 and it's in a blue box - DO NOT get the Contour in the green box, it doesn't work)
After you pay the tax only, the cashier will hand you three RR's. Two $5 RR's - one for each monitor and one $3 RR for a Bayer promotion running also.
Since the meters are free and just a means to get the MM, if you don't need or use the meters, try donating them to a homeless shelter, nursing home, clinic or veternarian.
If you only have one coupon, this is still a $5 MM, but having at least two of these coupons will make it a better deal.
If you don't have any coupons, you have time to get some since this is a month long deal. You can purchase or trade for these hot coupons. For the first time ever, I purchased coupons for this deal and I am glad I decided to. I found mine on E-bay by just typing the name of the coupon. I was only able to buy 5 coupons, which was fine because my store only had 5 of these meters in stock. After the cost of the coupons this was a $24.05 MM for me, not including the tax that I had to pay on the meters. What a great way to end 2009!

Getting Started: Buying & Trading Coupons
If you find yourself needing more coupons than what you have access to, there are a couple more options you have to expand your coupon stash.
ecoupons.com is a great place to trade coupons and it only costs the price of two stamps. How it works is really very easy. You go to the website here and sign up, then you mail them 25 coupons that you aren't going to use along with a self addressed, stamped envelope. Once they receive them, they will credit your account with one order credit. You can then sign on and choose 25 coupons from their list. I have used ecoupons.com for quite awhile and it works really well, when a great sale is coming up I can stock up on coupons of items that my family uses. I try to have several credits on file so that if I see some really good coupons I can order what I need without having to wait for more credits to arrive in my account. They are located in New Jersey so it does take a couple days for the coupons to arrive in the mail.
Trading with friends is a great way to get more coupons that you need, and there are coupon swaps forming at a lot of local libraries.
You can purchase coupons for pennies on the dollar at places like The Coupon Clippers, which is a clipping service. There are several different services like these out there, but I am not familiar with any of them because I have never used them.
Ebay is another place to buy coupons. Sellers are varied and I have never used Ebay for a source for coupons either so I am not familiar with their pricing.
