Going shopping this weekend? Need clothes, housewares, or items for your home and garden?


Deals can be found out there on those items, as well. One of my tips is to use the same rules that apply to grocery shopping- wait for a sale and apply coupons to the sale if possible. 


I also love places like Rack Room Shoes, where I can get B1G1 half off everyday and they also combine that with coupons, too.


There are websites out there to help you find retail coupons. One of my favorites is Your Retail Helper. This is such a neat site and easy to use. Click on the top left where it says “Retail Round Up/Printable Coupons” and she will post a list of all the coupons that you can print out that are from retail establishments and believe me, they are not skimpy! I saw coupons from Old Navy, Children’s Place, GAP, JC Penny, Lane Bryant, Office Depot, Ulta, and Victoria’s Secret to name a few. It doesn’t hurt to go there before you shop and just check and see what’s available. You can print out a coupon quickly before you shop!


Also, one thing I know you can do is search EBAY for coupons. Some people find this controversial, but I personally don’t. EBAY is quick to pull illegal items off their site and if the manufacturers didn’t want the coupons there, they’d demand that EBAY remove them. For example, you can search EBAY for Lowes coupons or home depot coupons for 10% off your purchase. Here’s a search I did for Lowes Home Improvement coupons. It pulled up many coupons that can be bought for around $3-$4 and then emailed to you for printing. If you are doing a big purchase, for example, hundreds of dollars for some improvements, this would be money well spent! By they way, Home Depot will take Lowes Home Improvement coupons, too.


Finally, there are toy coupons out there and lots of them! Click here to access my free printable coupons.When the coupons come up, look on the left again and click “Toys and Games,” and you can print off all the coupons for toys and games. Toys can be so expensive, so using the coupons can really add up.


Don’t overpay for retail! There are resources out there to help you save!
