New Here?

First off, let me say welcome and thank you so much for stopping by. If you are looking for ways to save you have found the right place. This online coupon world can be a scary place, but you can get by with little help from your friends (any Beetles fans?)...and me. So, jump on the savings bandwagon and start saving.

So what's the deal here?

.

I get it, you're looking at my site wondering "what the, who the?!". The whole blog world can be confusing. My sister is still saying "ok, it looks nice, but I don't get it". Here is how the site works.

..

Left side bar -you will see information such as subscribe, resources, archives, etc. This is a quick way to get to the weekly ads and find basic couponing information (coupons 101, walgreens 101, etc). Nothing will really change with this from day to day.

..

Center - This is where all my posts will go. Depending on which tab you are in you will see information that I have posted. The posts descend from newest to oldest. But, you don't have to keep scrolling and scrolling to read everything. Everything that is posted in the center column will also be able to be seen in the tab it relates to. Ex. If I have a free sample in the center column, it will also be listed under the freebie tab.

..

Right Side Bar - These are where the ads and coupons are. Wait, wait, come back. Not all ads are bad, this will also include coupons that you can print from home. Just enter your zip code and follow the directions for installation and voila, coupons at home. As far as the ads go, don't worry, there are no weird spam/survey ads. Well, some have surveys, but not one after the other, after the other.

Tabs - the tabs are pretty self explanatory, for the most part.

• The Freebies tab is anything you can receive for FREE. There are no strings attached, no lengthy surveys, just fill out your contact info so they know where to send and get FREE samples or coupons. It's that easy!
• The Giveaway tab is something that I personally am giving away. Just follow the ways to enter and you're done. I try to have new giveaways every Wednesday.
• The Kids Zone tab is where I will put anything relating to kids (activities, freebies, places to eat). I will also be adding birthday info the week of Sept. 6th.

For more info. be sure to check out couponing 101 (found on the left side bar under resources)
