I hate clipping coupons. I used to get a high from it, but now I just imagine the reality of trying to actually do that in the grocery store with three kids trailing behind me. We’re a walking disaster at the store on most days. With three girls you can bet someone is cranky, someone is hungry, and someone is feeling their inner diva coming out. Once you add in small scraps of paper to that, all I can see is a trail of coupons marking our path in a fashion similar to Hansel and Gretel.
However, I recently came across two websites, that when combined, may help make hitting the grocery store a better experience for everyone.
1. Handipoints.com. A fellow school mom introduced me to this cool website to give your kids even more reasons to behave well in public and you at home, too. Parents can track kids behaviors and chores with charts and kids can earn points to play games and even care for a pet cat.
2. Online coupon clipping. I navigated my local grocery store and found tons of coupons I could download directly to my club card. I also checked out a few local drug stores and found some handy shopping lists and online coupons I can print and take into the store. They are all on one sheet so I don’t have to cut anything (or lose anything). Plus, it makes a great list so I am not tempted to buy things I don’t need.
Question: What website have you found recently that helps make your load a little lighter?


My sister in law has a coupon website. She basically tells you what coupon you need, where to get it and how to use it to get the best deals. She lives in Kansas, so some of the stores aren’t nation-wide, but places like CVS and Walgreens have some great deals.
Here’s the link:

grocerysmarts.com really helps for the coupons. and I have several websites/blogs that help with the deals. I also love orgjunkie.com (she has fabulous organization ideas) and giveawaytoday.com is great for give aways. (not making my life easier, but a fun little website.
