by Leave a Comment

Being a new mom can be very stressful not to mention expensive! Trust me, I know. Who new this cute little baby could go through so many diapers a day! That is why I am glad I came across the shopping planner for new moms called Just for Mom Savings. It is filled with great coupons for moms with babies and the best part is that it is free!

I was sent the shopping planner to review. It has some great coupons for brand name baby items like Gerber, Lansinoh, Bio-Oil, Baby Einstein, and even Zulily. All of my coupons are good through the end of April so I have plenty of time to use them. The coupons are mainly for baby food, nursing accessories, and skincare. I do wish they had some diaper and wipe coupons. It has pages where you can make weekly menus and shopping lists to help make your life easier. I like that each page has a great tip for new parents and it even has recipes so you can make your own baby food.

Couponing 101: Where to find Coupons

by Leave a Comment

So, last time we talked about why you should use coupons. Today I’m going to share all the different places you might find coupons.

1. Sunday Newspaper: This is the most common place to find coupon inserts. There are 3 different kinds of inserts that you may receive every week: Red Plum, Smart Source, and Procter and Gamble. You will receive a different number of inserts depending on the week. Some papers will include inserts in the Wed. paper as well.

2. Magazines: Magazines are a great place to look for coupons. I usually flip through mine when I first receive them in the mail. The best magazine for coupons is All You. You can only buy All You at Walmart or you can get a subscription. Other magazines that usually have a few coupons are: Redbook, Family Circle, Woman’s Day, and Good Housekeeping.
