When I pull up Coupon Mom’s site, I go to the
stores I want to shop at and run a report of what’s

I need to cut out for my shopping trip. I take the
list and the coupons to the store and this becomes
my shopping list. Coupon Mom optimizes savings on BOGOs (Buy One Get One Free). My

you can save on your monthly food and household
item budget, you might become addicted to those
savings, too!
