Extreme couponing the easy way!

    Recently, a follower on twitter @Hottubs4U tweeted about the show extreme couponing and we began a conversation about how we tend to throw away coupons and forget to use them! Well, with the tech savvy world we live in today there are SO many ways to use coupons, not only paper but digital! We can now go to sites like Groupon.com, Livingsocial.com, and Freeflys.com and save money on virtually everything. From discounts on guitar lessons, lunch at a burger place, or a to a trip to Cabo; it’s probably out there! Best of all, not only do you get great discounts, but you can discover new places to eat in your town and fun things to do with your family. I recently bought a Groupon for $20 unlimited hot yoga here in Sacramento and it’s been amazing. Usually, monthly yoga classes are up to $200 or even $300. It’s kinda ridiculous, so I had to snatch the deal :) If you’re the kind of person that likes to stick to traditional coupons for grocery items then go to a site like Freeflys.com. I get a e-mail daily with free stuff like samples of Snuggles Clothes softener or Jiffy's Peanut Butter. They also have tons of coupons that work for various stores, and it’s as easy as clicking on which coupons you want and printing them off! You don’t have to wait for Sunday’s paper to search and clip coupons...you can do it at your convenience. And let’s face it, with all our busy lives these days convenience is almost necessary! There’s more! If you have ever gone to the store and realized you forgot your coupons at home? Well, if you have a smart phone you can simply download an ap and get them straight on your phone.
