Cha-ching!

Gas prices have been top news for awhile now. I was very excited today when I found a way to help our ever-dwindling finances (due to higher gas prices, food prices, etc.). It will probably only save us $4-5 a week, but that's a tank of gas.

When watching the NBC Nightly News last night, a segment on rising food prices included a mention of two coupon websites. One was couponmom and the other was fatwallet. I checked both of them out and found some interesting things...

Couponmom was pretty slick to use once you got registered. There are about a hundred pop-up windows that ask you to enter your address, birthdate, etc., but you can skip them. Once I was registered, I was able to get several good coupons.

Fatwallet wasn't as good for our weekly purchases. It gave a nice list of stores that give you cash back, but had no coupons as advertised.

On my journeys through coupon cyberspace, I also found this site. I found it to be very helpful as well. And hopefully all this information can save somebody else a few bucks in our wallet squeezing economy.

I also really like moneysavingmom.com. I have been getting lots of free stuff doing her CVS deals.

FYI-Word has it that FatWallet will be giving away Gas Cards starting Friday.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to check both out right now!
