*Kendall or other couponers*

What are some of your favorite (free) coupon sites? The ones I see are always a bust. FI and I are moving into a new apartment, and we need some deals on things like TP, cleaning products, etc. 

This is a P&R. 

Thanks in advance!

Also, Sunday Papers, RedPlum, Smartsource, PG&E, etc.  They all have websites and FB pages as well.  I follow ALL of my blogs on FB as they post their deals there :P

Can you combine these with other coupons? I don't get how people save so much money...

Okay so the basics of couponing that I can help with an example:

Carmex - $1.09 Regular Price

Every item you can use a store specific coupon and a manufacturer coupon.  This week, I had a Tom Thumb/Safeway Coupon for 40 cents off 1 Carmex product.   Generally store coupons aren't multiplied.

Carmex - $.69 with Tom Thumb Coupon

I also had a $.30 off manufacturers coupon.  My store triples every coupon up to 30 cents, so this one ended up being $.90 off.

Carmex -  $ -0.21 with Manufacturer coupon being tripled. 

So basically, the store (which DOES allow coupon overages - not all do) paid me 21 cents to take these out of the store.  I bought 10 of them with the same coupons with each totalling to a $2.10 credit in my favor to spend on something I wasn't getting any deal on.

The best stores for STORE coupons:

Kroger
Albertson's
Safeway/Randall's/Tom Thumb
CVS
Walgreen's
Target

I also make sure to hold onto coupons until 1.) I get a great deal early before they expire or I use them right before they expire.  The worst feeling is using a coupon 1 week then a deal that makes the item free coming along the next week!

Hope that helps some?
