I hinted yesterday that I’ve been busy working on a BIG new project. (And yes, I do know that I’m always working on a project or ten. But this one really is exciting!)
It’s a NEW website! Because 2 just weren’t enough, ya know?
Call me crazy if you must, but I can’t help be a little giddy about this one. If you follow SWSL in addition to LWSL, you are probably already familiar with our daily “Coupons to Print Now” posts, which provide an easy-to read daily list of links to the day’s hottest coupons. Basically we do all the work of hunting for the best coupons so that you don’t have to.
Starting next week, that CTPN list will now be found at PrintHotCoupons.com instead of SWSL. Print Hot Coupons also has its own Facebook page, where we will post any super hot or limited print coupons we find, and you can sign up here to receive PHC.com HOT coupon alerts with printable links right in your email inbox, saving you the hassle of even needing to go online!
So what do you think? Are you as excited as I am?

This is so exciting! I am very new to couponing, so the more simple, the better. My only concern right now is the worry that I’m not getting THE BEST deal possible. Yesterday I saved about 50% off my grocery bill…not great, but I don’t have that many coupons yet. (although I only purchased items on sale with my store club card) How do you get past the feeling of “if I keep waiting a better deal may come along”??
Lucy July 29, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Jess, I am new to couponing too and I completely relate. The Sunday before last I stocked up on my favorite tampon (Ob) at what I thought was a great deal of $2.99 per 40 count box ($3.99 walgreens sale price combined with $1 coupon). Then after buying a bunch I was able to obtain a stack of $3 off coupons — obviously much better! I ended up buying even more yesterday at Kmart because they had dropped their price to $3.99 this week (so each box ended costing a dollar with the $3 coupons) but I just wish I had known about the higher value coupons before jumping the gun. I probably have a five year supply of tampons now, LOL. At least they don’t expire. Really if there’s anything to get a crazy stockpile of that is probably the item!

Jess, 50% is REALLY good, especially if you are just starting out! Don’t be too hard on yourself…any savings is better than none, and as long as you stay consistent and shop the sales each week, you will see your percentage continue to increase.
To answer your question, the longer you are using coupons, the better feel you will have for what is and isn’t a good price or a good deal. You can use my Rock Bottom Price List as a guide while you get started–when I see things at this price, I know it is a good deal:

Eh. There are already so many coupon sites out there. This just adds to the mayhem. Thanks for trying to make things easier for us, but that sounds like one project too many on your end and completely unnecessary.
Ruth July 30, 2011 at 9:51 am
Bonco, I’m sorry you feel that way. My goal is the opposite–to help filter out the mayhem & bring you only the best coupons each day without all the fluff. I hope you will be willing to give PrintHotCoupons.com a chance, but I totally understand if you feel like you can’t add one more website to your list.

Ruth,
This is a great business idea to generate revenue. I only wish I had thought of it.

I just liked the page on FB! I really like the fact that I can see what coupons there are AND how long they have been available by scrolling through the posts. Thanks for all you do to help us all save at the grocery store! Now if I could just convince my hubby to get me a laser printer so I quite flying through the ink cartridges!
Ruth July 30, 2011 at 9:51 am
Thanks Kelly!

Thank you Ruth. I have been following living well spending less for about 9 months. I truly feel that you put so much of yourself into all of your sites and am so excited for your new ventures into saving well spending less and now, hot coupons. I have learned so much and have laughed so much along the way. Thank you for all that you put into this. It is not at all wasted and your passion is part of what makes following your blogs so rewarding. Thank you!

Ruth –
Congrats – I LOVE it!!! I always look at your CTPN links every day so this is perfect. A trifecta of great sites. I know there are a lot of sites out there but I keep my life (and brain) less “cluttered” by just sticking with yours.
Thanks for all that you do!!
Claire
Diana August 1, 2011 at 3:44 pm
I for one am excited about your new site. Thank you!

I love your site and am so proud of you for helping others like this! As a licensed handywoman, my time is very valuable and I am rarely at my computer or at home enough with my two awesome kids. I do agree with another post though in that there are so many coupon sites and it’s cumbersome to print (even with my laser) as well as remember to bring the coupons. Though Groupon and others like that are not usually helpful enough for me, I have found the individual store sites combined with smartphone apps such as “keyring” (free on android) are a wonderful organizer and much easier to use. I used Walgreens as well as CVS this weekend, both of which offer coupons through the app and I don’t have to dig out or carry all those little plastic cards anymore. I used the email I got from Kohl’s (which was also offering scholarship entries) by raising the barcode in the email to the cashier at the register. I saved $20 in one swipe! For me, it’s easier to organize the emails into folders (one reason I love Gmail) by using the filter option. As soon as I sign up for any of these store sites, I filter the email to go straight into the colored folder so I don’t have to see it. I open the folder when we are actually making the trip to the store. That way I don’t feel pounded by junk. If I decide the store doesn’t deserve my business for some reason, the emails are filtered straight to the trash. If they deserve a star on the other hand, they get a star and go straight to my inbox where I can praise them in Facebook. Another saver was Ace Hardware —$50 certificate for liking them. I wish more places would place their QR codes right on the boxes too. If I feel like giving them my info, they can scan my QR for my info, and I can go right to their sites by scanning their QR codes. The paper days are on their way out.
The Lorax would be proud!
