Where has The Coupon Chronicles Been

Hello my fellow shoppers/followers, As you may have seen The Coupon Chronicles has been out of site for a few months due to the busy life of mom, career woman, and quite honestly over-loaded in the couponing world.  When I started this site I was excited and anxious to get you the content and deals you all deserved.  However after tracking the site traffic and seeing post viewings it seemed I was writing to a very small audience. With that said, I have been hoping to revive the site and to truly seek out information many shoppers are looking for.  There are plenty of couponing/deal sites out there and I want this to be one that can have a balance and a "one stop shop" for those wishing to "get to the savings point".  I am looking forward to the fall season and hoping...

Discouraged Over Extreme Couponing? by The Krazy Coupon Lady

Here is a FANTASTIC article that I found over on The Krazy Coupon Lady that I think can benefit all savers out there! :) If your not saving a "extreme" amount please don't be discouraged as its NOT the norm!  “I’ve been watching TLC’s ‘Extreme Couponing’ and I can’t help but feel discouraged when I don’t save 90% on every one of my shopping trips.” The first and most important thing to remember is that the shopping trips you see on TV are NOT typical. As a past participant, I can vouch that these excursions are often the biggest and longest that most of us have ever done (before or since!). Hours and hours of planning go into them,...

Handy Tip: Printing Online Coupons

Online Coupons are a great way to build your Coupon Collection! Here is a quick overview in understanding how printing works!Most Internet printable coupons allow 1-2 print outs per coupon per computer. The majority of coupons on Coupons.com, RedPlum.com, SmartSource.com, Target.com, and those available at individual Facebook pages can print out twice. However, some coupons at those sites have a limit of 1 print out per coupon. It is ILLEGAL to copy any coupon. This means no printing out a coupon then running it over to a copy machine for 50 new buddies!To get more:Print from multiple computers. If you have multiple computers, you can often print more coupons. If you don’t have multiple computers, ask family, friends, and neighbors! Consider swapping coupons (maybe they need all your pet...

CNN Money-Article is online!

CNN Money has now posted a portion of the article online today!  Very exciting to see it up online, however I think they do miss the point that couponing isn't always about food but about saving on items you use in your household and what you would use or donate to help your community!  Hopefully my site can help you explore that information and realize that couponing can not only be on healthy options (those who tout that its all unhealthy options are sadly misinformed) but on your everyday products such as soap, laundry detergent, and even entertainment coupons and deals! Check out the article here- http://money.cnn.com/2011/07/19/magazines/moneymag/extreme_couponing_saving.moneymag/index.htm Let...
