Be a Thrifty lazy shopper

     I'm lazy. It's true. I'd rather not have to do anything that is going to be too time consuming or complicated. Years ago I found 2 websites that I really loved. They did all the thrifty work for me.
     http://www.couponmom.com/ Coupon mom is a great website! It's been around for a long time. I first signed up in 2008 or so. It is FREE. This site matches internet coupons and Sunday paper coupons with sales in your area. It's very helpful so you can see what to stock up on. You can even print out a list! (The site tells you the date and what section the coupons were in. So you don't have to clip all your coupons. You can clip as you go. )
     http://www.slickdeals.net/  This site can be a little confusing. But the forums are great. If you are looking for a deal... you'll find it here. You have to sign up to post but not to lurk. The forums will tell you the ins and outs of shopping for deals at places like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid to best take advantage of the coupon and rebate programs.
    Search.Engine of your choice is the 3rd "site" that will save you $. (I vote swagbucks because it will reward you for searching.)  Before you make a purchase online, check for a coupon code! I always do this and I love when I get free shipping or an extra 10% off on an item I was going to buy anyway.
     I'm also a firm believer in price comparing.  The most recent example is the serger thread I purchased this month. A person was selling off all her home business's craft supplies. She was selling Serger thread for $2 a cone plush shipping. Some were new and some were partially used cones. She wanted to ship flat rate.($11.35) Normally that is a good deal as they cost $4.50 each, but I decided to check it against retail. Jo-Ann's happened to be having a sale... Maxilock Serger thread was $2.29 a cone and other kind was $1.99 a cone. But a few second search, I found a free shipping code.  It was cheaper to buy new on sale than used. I went with the better deal which was Jo-ann's. It is reasons like this that I always check before I buy.

If your going to spend money... spend the least amount possible to get what you want! Have a great Thrifty Day!
