The Crazy World of Couponing: Blogs to Follow

Guess how much I spent on this today?

$1.17 - Yes, that's right. And yes, I know I'm a dork for taking a picture of it. And since I've already admitted what a coupon nerd I am, here is my receipt for proof:

See, it can be done! I spent about 5 minutes on one of favorite couponing blog this morning, finding the right coupons and loading electronic coupons on my Kroger card, and according to my receipt, I saved $19.29. Not bad, huh? Granted, some of these things aren't products we use on a regular basis, but they are nice to have when time is short or we run out of what we usually have to eat.

Well, I wanted to share the blogs that do all the hard work of matching coupons and sales, letting you know about coupons to print, and inform you of ongoing store sales. Here is a list of ones I like along with what I think makes them unique:

- http://www.southernsavers.com/ - This is my absolute favorite! It is no-frills, comprehensive, and straight to the point. You can even print off a personalized shopping list right off her blog. And this is the site where I won a Mino HD camcorder :)
- http://www.frugalcouponliving.com/ - Usually includes info about more boutiquey (is that a word?) kids and mom items
- http://myfrugaladventures.com/ - Comprehensive and easy to read, frequent updates
- http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/ - Comprehensive and easy to read, frequent updates
- http://www.momsneedtoknow.com/ - Sometimes I like just reading her funny comments.
- http://www.thethriftymama.com/ - Includes info on natural and organic food.
- http://hip2save.com/ - This one is new to me (thanks, Emily!). Frequent updates and sometimes includes things that other blogs do not.
