I am looking for the BEST online resource (website/FB fan page/blog/etc)... that helps mom learn how to coupon good, where to find the coupons (or even a website with the links)! I follow a couple women online... but wish that I could find more, with better deals and such. I've heard of people getting something for NOTHING (free!) or paying next to nothing for groceries with coupon and sales match ups. I would love to learn how to do this, since I have THREE boys at home :)

Thanks!!!

On FB I use Kansas City Mamas and Penny Pinchin' Mom. They are both local so they are in on the local deals as well as online deals.

I am SO bad at this, the friends I know that do it have it down to a science and spend a few hours a week doing it.

One good facebook group that has ideas and keeps you motivated is here;

I am new to the whole couponing thing too and a great website is http://www.savingmoneyinmissouri.com/ (Clippin' with Carie). She is based in the St. Louis area but most of her deals are national. She especially loves Walgreens! Best of luck saving!

I use coupon.com for manufacturer coupons and then I go to each store website and print off store coupons. Today I got 2 containers of coconut milk for free by combining manufacturer coupons, Whole Foods coupons, and watching for it to be on sale. It does take time. There are a lot of sites out there so google coupons and try different ones until you find what works for you.

I use Groupon quite a bit. It is great. Especially for family outings and events. You get a lot of tickets to things half off.
I tried P&G Brand Saver. You load the coupons onto the shopper card the grocery store gives you. Then I wait and watch the online ads for those things to go on sale and try to combine the sale price and the coupon, but honestly, that's a lot of work for not much savings. I'm better off just buying generic.
Best money saving things I do is watch store ads online and wait for things to go on sale then buy it in bulk. Don't buy anything prepackaged or ready to eat. Shop around the perimiter of the store, milk, produce, meat as much as possible. Only go into the aisles for staples like rice, beans, cereal, frozen vegetables. I make a game out of trying to make dinner for $5. I will never spend more than $10 on dinner. Stretch your food by adding pasta, rice, beans, and potatoes.

I have a friend who is the Queen of couponing! haha A few Facebook sites she uses:

http://www.facebook.com/GimmieFreebies
http://www.facebook.com/FrugalFabulousFinds
http://www.facebook.com/thefrugalgirls

Also, this isn't really coupons, but I LOVE Swag Bucks. You earn swag bucks by searching & other things (like watching their Swag Bucks TV) for free. Then spend the swag bucks to get rewards. The best reward is a $5 Amazon gift card. I've earned 11 so far!

MojoSavings is a good one, so is Freebies For Mom. Sorry I don't have the direct links right now, just Google them. Those are my favorites. They post coupons and other freebies through out the day.
I've never quite gotten the crazy deals others do, but I am able to get some great coupons and freebies.
