Online Coupon Resources for Moms

Coupon match-up sites, which combine available coupons and promotions with sales at major grocery stores anywhere in the country, allow users to save time and maximize savings. "These sites tell you exactly where to find each coupon in the newspaper, so you can go right ahead and clip it without wasting any time," says Jill Cataldo, author of the newspaper column and video series Super Couponing Tips. "They follow the cycle, they give you a list of what's on sale at your local store, and they match the coupons up for you."

Savings Angel, a subscribed Web application, is one of our favorites. In addition to coupon match-ups at many the biggest grocery stores and drug stores in the country, the website offers a staff of 100 "angels" who provide personalized tips on how to make the most of your shopping trip.

Money Saving Mom offers more than just a comprehensive coupon database. You can also use the site to find daily deals on products and services; online savings for drugstores; a preview of each Sunday's coupon inserts; and weekly freebies and giveaways.

Erin Klones, a mom from Seattle, WA and the author of two blogs, Coupon Newbie and Simply Frugal Mom, swears by the mega-site CouponMom.com. "If I'm wondering if there's a coupon for a product I need, I'll just go to Coupon Mom and search for that item," she says. "The site will tell me if there was a coupon in the newspaper for that week, if there's a printable coupon for that product, or if any local stores have that product on sale."
