This is what $0.04 looks like!!!
Here are some of the tips and tricks that I use to get great savings using local deals and coupons. Look through the coupons in the Sunday paper (Red Plum circular, Smart Source circular, & P&G circular) make sure after you clip the ones you want that you save whats left until they expire. In some of the links below you will see in a previous circular with a recent sale you can get FREE items or great savings! Since we don't have double coupons in Florida you have to remember that if something is BOGO (buy one get one) you can use 2 coupons for the items. If an item is $1.99 BOGO and you use 2 $1.00 off coupons you get the 2 items for FREE! Another good one is when Publix & Winn Dixie have their 10 for $10, try to find $1.00 off coupons for those items and you get them for FREE! You can use 2 coupons for one item when you match a store coupon along with a manufacturers coupon. You can do this a lot with Target coupons that you can only use only at Target along with a manufacturers coupon for the same item. Publix and Target are the 2 biggest ones for this.

If you are on Facebook, there are amazing freebies if you 'like' a companies page and fill out a special tab, then after I sign up I unlike the page so I don't get all of the notices on my wall about that company all the time. You can also go to the brand websites(3M, Cottonelle, etc.) and they usually have a coupons tab on their websites to print coupons for their products.
Walgreens has awesome photo freebies and deals every other month or so. I usually get a heads up from Smart Couponing. (link above) They will have a deal for a free photo collage or 8x10 photo, etc. and you order it online (you have to create an online account/takes 3-5 minutes), after you order whatever the deal is and use the given code you just opt to 'Pick Up In Store' and it is free since there is no shipping. You can have one Walgreens account for every email address that you have. I have 5 email addresses so I have 5 Walgreens accounts, to maximize savings/specials/freebies.
CVS has some deals if you have a red CVS card. Just stop in to their store once or twice a week and scan your card on their instore coupon machine and it prints you out CVS only coupons(which you can use along with manufacturers coupons) on items in the store. Sometimes it will even print you a coupon for a FREE item in the store. Make sure you scan it multiple times until it tells you that there are no more coupons in the machine and the check back tomorrow. Some weeks the machine will give me 2 coupons and some weeks it will give me 4-5 coupons. I just keep scanning it until it stops.
Remember that Walmart always price matches if you have a circular or website price over your phone from somewhere else showing their current pricing. I save a lot using price matching and coupons together. :)
There are so many websites online, but these are the ones that I have been using for over a year now. I hope they help you to save like it has for me! **Suzan**
