Money Saving Tip of the Day: Check out The Krazy Coupon Lady

I was talking to a buddy of mine a while back, catching up on family and such. A little while into the convo, he told me that one of his sisters was actually making money to shop for groceries. I asked if she was a secret shopper, and he said he wasn't really sure how he did it, but that he was pretty sure she wasn't a secret shopper. Being the Cheap Scot that I am, this obviously piqued my interest. I later found out through his sister's blog that she had learned her awesome new skill via all of the great information on The Krazy Coupon Lady website. I have checked out the site a bit, and it really is a cheapskate's heaven. It lists the top coupons from retail giants such as Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, and many more. The Krazy Coupon Lady takes it further than your average, everyday coupon website though. The publisher of the site has an awesome tutorial on how to go from a "coupon virgin" (as the site affectionately calls us) to a Krazy Coupon Lady in 10 days. The link to this tutorial can be found here. The site also has many great tips on how to save tons of money on groceries each week. The Krazy Coupon Lady has been featured on the TLC show, "Extreme Couponing", which my buddy swears is totally a cool show (I won't name names to protect his recently questionable manliness), proving that it is has a lot of valuable information. It is a free service and definitely worth a bit of perusing. Check it out here
