A while back I taught a couponing class at work and I compiled a list of websites that I like to visit for couponing tips, etc. Thought I'd share it here for you ladies.

I've had computer people warn me about these online coupon places concerning viruses etc. Have you had any problems?
To be honest, yes I have. My home computer is now on Linux and I don't get viruses (knock on wood) anymore but before the switch I did get a bad virus once.
Ok, I'm armed and dangerous. I've got my coupons printed and clipped, read up on my sales fliers and I'm ready to go. I even called Lowe's to make sure of how many coupons I could use and which ones would double and which ones wouldn't. Now all I need is today's paper and I'll be all set. And there is not one thing on my list that I hadn't already planned on buying! Thank you Michelle! Hey?! Did I see somewhere once you could find out what the coupons were going to be before you bought the paper? Or am I imagining that...
Yes, there is a way but I'll have to remember where you go to find that info. I'm thinking it's on www.hotcouponworld.com but I'll check and get back to you.
Gosh Michelle it sounds like you really know your stuff. You inspire me! I'm just getting into couponing and hope I can use some of your sites to help me save! Have a nice day!
