There are so many great money saving websites where you can find great deals. Some of these deals are local Tucson deals; others are deals with major online (Amazon) or brick and mortar stores (Walgreens, CVS, chain department store and restaurants, etc.) A great Arizona site that lists Tucson deals is: http://www.thecentsableshoppin.com/ This site is actually updated at least once or twice an hour, and is the favorite of many couponers and bargain shoppers. ************************************************************************************************************** Another site with many Arizona deals is: http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/ This site will list the grocery deals at Fry's, Safeway, etc every wednesday and what coupons you can use with the deals. To find the local grocery deals go to PYP Forums and then find Arizona under "Screaming Grocery Deals by State" The website: http://www.extremesavingswithdivadesirae.com/ has lots of deals like Walgreens, CVS, Walmart and restaurant deals as well. ************************************************************************************************************* Both Walgreens and CVS have great deals in their sunday ad. Quite often, there are items you can get for free after getting a register reward (Walgreens) or Extra Bucks (CVS). The way this works is by purchasing an item on special like Colgate toothpaste for $2.99, Walgreens or CVS may give you a Reward of, let's say $2.00, when you purchase this item. You can also use a coupon on the item, so if you use a $1.00 coupon AND get a register reward or Extra Bucks back (which are good on your next purchase), you are actually getting the item for free. Limit is ONE on most of these deals. *************************************************************************************************************** Here in Tucson Fry's and Safeway doubles coupons, so you can save a lot of money at the grocery store. When RAGU is on sale for $1.49 for instance, and you use a 50 cents off coupon (doubled to $1.00 off), you are getting the RAGU for 49 cents. There is sometimes a limit of three coupons that you can use at the same time - so you can get three for 49 cents each using three coupons. Safeway publishes coupons in their ad sometimes, and you can combine these with manufacturer coupons, sometimes getting them free or almost free. ************************************************************************************************************** Another website with great National restaurant and "chain" deals is: http://couponcravings.com/ Although this web blog comes out of Iowa, it is updated many times a day with deals. Keep in mind that many deals only last for the day, or sometimes for a few hours, so check for deals at least once a day or you can miss out on some really fantastic deals.
