Couponing with a Smart Phone


For those of you out there who have smart phones (I know I am talking to most of the population, including my 13 year old sister), there is an EXCELLENT tool I came across for helping me coupon on the go!!  If you use Google Reader, which I highly recommend, for following your blogs, you should totally try the mobile site!!  And if you don't, you should totally start using Google Reader!  It puts all your blog updates in a neat little inbox so you can peruse them without going all over the web.  Here's how to start if you haven't already:

Step 1:
Go to google.com/reader and sign in using your google name and password.
Or, sign up for an account if you don't already have one.

Step 2:
Click "add a subscription"
In the little box that comes up, type the home address of a blog you follow.
Repeat
Here are mine:

http://christianclippers.com/
http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/
http://hip2save.com/
http://moneysavingmom.com/
http://www.savemoneylivejoyfully.com/
http://www.southerncalisaver.com/
http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com/
http://thekrazycouponlady.com/
Step 3:
Once you have all your subscriptions in, you can see every update chronologically, or filter to show only one blog by clicking the name on the left side.

That's it!
Now, once you have it set up, go to your smart phone and open up the internet.  Go to google.com/reader/m.  All your blogs will load quickly and you will be able to see everything on one page without scrolling all over the screen.  There will be no distracting ads or sidebars.  Strictly the information you need to get your stuff free and get out of there.  SO HELPFUL!   Post a comment if you have any questions and I'll see if I can answer them, but I'm no computer genius, so nothing too hard...

Kingsford Charcoal at Home Depot

I just scored all this charcoal for my mom (120 pounds!!!) for less than $2,50 a bag!  Home Depot has twin packs for $7.97, and there is a $3 off one bag of Kingsford Charcoal coupon in the Vons MDA coupon book.  I handed them 6 coupons, but they took only one coupon per twin pack, since they said it is like getting the second bag for free when you buy them together, which is still a great deal, so I didn't complain! 

I went to check out at the self check because there was no line and I didn't want anyone behind me to be frustrated if I took a few extra minutes with my coupons.  As I lifted the first 40 pound bag over the scanner, the associate quickly came over with a scanning gun and said "I can scan those for you."  I guess I didn't notice they were heavy since Cohen weighs about that much!  :)

I also noticed in the small clearance section near the charcoal was a bunch of Glidden paint testers for $1.97, which there are $3/2 coupons for on coupons.com, making them $.47.  The coupon says they are only available at Walmart (which is incorrect), but it doesn't say you can only use it at Walmart.  I don't know if they will give you a hard time on that or not.

OJ at the 99 Cent Store?!

I just got 3 gallons of shelf stable orange juice at the new 99 Cent Store on Margarita and Winchester for $4! It's limit 2 per customer, but my brother was with me, so he got 2 and I bought his from him... :D

Who doesn't love free movies?!


Blockbuster Express Kiosks are typically located in Vons and I hear 7/11, but I've never seen one there.  They require no membership and are like Redbox, if you are familiar with that.  There are 4 codes out right now (that I have NOT tested) for one free night's rental (excluding the "hot list" rentals which are the newest releases). 
The drawback is you can't enter the promo codes online, you have to enter it at the kiosk which means you can't reserve your movie ahead of time and go pick it up, but you CAN check their website to be sure the movie is there before you leave the house.  These codes are good until Sept. 5th (or so I hear).  Remember to return it before 9 PM the following day to avoid being charged for an additional night which the promo code would not cover. 
Which reminds me, bring a credit/bank card with you because even though they won't charge it, they have to have it on file in case you run off with their movie. 
My recommendation?  Soul Surfer!  My husband, 16 year old brother, and I watched it last night and while we couldn't seem to pass up some really insensitive one armed jokes throughout the movie, it was REALLY moving.  And funny when you watch it with my brother...
