Coupon Update

I just wanted to let you know there have been some changes in coupon policies lately.  Most King Soopers now will NOT let you use a digital coupon (CellFire, Kroger, etc. that are loaded to your card) in addition to a physical manufacturer coupon.

I've also lately been given tips on additional coupon sites.  Coupon Mom is a site that does similar shopping lists as The Grocery Game but it's free!  Check it out and see if it's to your liking.

My sister clued me in on Groupon, a group-coupon site where they offer certain daily deals.  Once signed up, you receive an email, text, or facebook post each day stating the daily deal.  Then you  decide if you want to participate in the group coupon.  For example, one daily deal was spend $5 for a $10 gift card to Cold Stone Creamery.  If you like ice cream and frequent Cold Stone Creamery, this would be the deal for you!  Just say you're in, pay your $5, and you'll receive a coupon in your in box as a $10 gift card.  The one catch is that enough people have to be interested in it, say 50 people, for the deal to be "on."  (We're talking in the whole Denver metro area, so most likely, most deals are a go.)  If the deal isn't "on" and the time expires, you aren't charged the required amount.  Just be wary of buying something because it's such a great "deal" when you don't really need it or would usually buy it!
