The Light 95.9 ~ CouponAllies

Listen to The Light at 95.9 FM (Especially this Friday at 8:15 a.m).

Allie and I will be interviewed by Jim Berni on the morning show.

Girl Scout Cookies ~ They're Available Now!

I know this has nothing to do with couponing but I LOVE Girl Scout cookies and often I'm not "in the know" when they're available or who's selling them.  Well, now I do. 

A good friend of mine emailed me to let me know her daughter, Evi, is selling Girl Scout cookies.  I figured that some of you might also want some Girl Scout cookies but didn't know where to find them. 

So, for those of you that live in Stark County (Massillon, Canton, North Canton, Canal Fulton, Navarre, and surrounding areas), if you want Girl Scout cookies, here's your chance!

These are the flavors that are available:

1.  Lemon Chalet Cremes (vanilla cookies with lemon creme filling)
2.  Trefoils (shortbread)
3.  Do-Si-Dos (oatmeal cookies with peanut butter filling)
4.  Samoas (vanilla cookies topped with caramel, coconut & chocolate)
5.  Dulce De Leche (bite-size cookies with milk caramel chips)
6.  Thank U Berry Munch (crispy rice cookies with cranberries and white fudge chips)
7.  Tagalongs (cookie topped with peanut butter and coated in chocolate)
8.  And, the All-Star - Thin Mints

If you'd like to order some from Evi, please email me at services@couponallies.com with your order.  I will forward your order on to Evi.  

No money is due now.  The cookies will be in mid-March and you can pay Evi when they're delivered and picked up.  Evi's Mom has agreed to deliver them to you on the following dates:  Sunday March 13th, Saturday March 19th or Sunday March 20th at locations convenient for you.  

I ordered Do-Si-Dos, Thin Mints and Samoas.   Can't wait!

These freeze really well too so order several boxes for later in the year.  I know, "later in the year" means "next week" at my house too!

CouponAllies in July's "All You" Magazine!

We have some very exciting news!  CouponAllies has been mentioned in the All You Magazine (which we love!). 

Thanks to Jenny for letting us know about the article... she runs CherryPicker (which was also mentioned).

On page 32, Tina, a reader from Solon, Ohio, mentioned us as one of her "go-to websites" to save money.  Thanks so much Tina!  We truly appreciate you and all of our readers!  We try very hard to bring you great deals and help you save your family money.

We have many new visitors to our site, so here is a little background information so we can get acquainted.

We enjoy saving money for our families - it's fun and contagious!  We occasionally get a little crazy over finding deals, stocking up, and clipping coupons and love to share how we do all of that with others.

Beware!  If you hang around here very much you might get "infected".  If you find the information here helpful, please let others in on it!  It's FREE!

Along the top of this page, you will find 6 links: Home (takes you to the newest posts), Archives (to browse older posts),  Sign Up for Newsfeed Updates (you can get updates through your news feeder) Sign Up for Email Updates (you can get updates sent to your email), What Did You Say? (Learning what we do so you can too), Contact Us, Follow Us On Facebook (this will take you to Facebook.com where you can sign in and then "Like" couponallies.com, all posts and updates will come in your newsfeed) and Online Deals (takes you to the latest online deals).

In the left column below are Categories for our posts - this is where you'll find the most recent information for a certain store or category! 

Archives are just older posts - feel free to browse through them.  Some are still very relevant. The middle column is where we post new information on an almost-daily basis.  We love hearing from you.  Leave a comment whenever you like!  Share an experience you had shopping (with or without a coupon) or how you used the information you learned here.

The right column starts out with a links to printable coupons.  These coupons are usually reset at the beginning of every month.  There are a few more shopping links there too - click through if you want to shop with that advertiser.

We add, update and change things around here regularly, so if you are reading through a news feed or email, please click over to the site on occasion to check it out.

Each week we feature Giant Eagle, Target and Walgreens as well as do a weekly coupon preview that is published on Saturday morning.

Remember that we are here for YOU!

Please let us know if there is anything we can do better or something you would like us to add to the site.

The All You magazine is available exclusively at Wal-Mart or by subscription.  It is published monthly and contains lots of valuable coupons each month.  You'll typically save a lot more than the magazine costs if you use just a couple of the coupons!

If you would like to subscribe to the All You magazine you may place an order HERE.   A two-year subscription (24 issues) is just $20.00 ($.83/issue) which is the best price around!

Compare to prices found on other sites as of today.

Note:  These are for one-year subscriptions (12 issues):

AllYou.com has a one-year subscription for $19.90
($1.66/issue)

Magazines.com has a one-year subscription for $19.97 ($1.67/issue)

Amazon.com has a one-year subscription for $19.95 ($1.66/issue)

CHECK IT OUT!

If you're purchasing a subscription today, you most likely will not receive the July issue as part of your subscription - it takes about 10 weeks for it to begin... however, you could run out to Wal-Mart and check it out!

Frito Lay Coupon - Fraudulent - Do Not Use!

There is a *.pdf coupon circulating the Internet for a free bag of Doritos Tortilla Chips.

THIS IS NOT A LEGITIMATE COUPON ISSUED BY FRITO LAY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED.

Check it out on Snopes HERE.

If you have received an email about this coupon, please do not forward it to anyone else.  Please take the time to notify the person that sent it to you that it is not valid.

A store may redeem this coupon, but Frito Lay will not reimburse the store so the store loses money on the "sale".  These situations create a negative attitude towards legitimate printable coupons that are presented in their store.

In addition, attempting to redeem counterfeit coupons may also lead to criminal prosecution.

The Coupon Information Corporation is also offering a $2,500 reward for information about the origin of this coupon that leads to the prosecution and conviction of the individual(s) responsible.

I just had too...

Stamp Out Hunger ~ Saturday May 8th

Have you been using coupons long enough to acquire a stockpile? If so, look though your pantry and see if you have anything to donate to the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. It is very easy, just place a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox this Saturday and your letter carrier (mail person) will pick it up and it will be delivered to local food banks.

Support Our Site

We love finding deals and sharing them with you! 

We have been at this for over a year already!  We certainly hope that you have learned or are in the process of learning the art of "couponing" and have enjoyed saving money.  CouponAllies is a passion for those of us behind the scenes and we want to continue to provide you with this service.  We hope to add some additional services this year like, for instance, additional store ad/coupon match-ups each week for CVS and Rite Aid.

However, it has become increasingly difficult to finance this site and all the legwork on our own so we're asking for your help so we can continue to do what we do.  Your contribution is voluntary - we're not requiring anything from anyone.  But, if you've been able to save money utilizing this service, please consider an annual "tip".  Any amount is welcome, but $12 works out to $1 a month!

We don't want to bombard you with advertisements so we have chosen to affiliate with only a few companies whose service or product aligns well with CouponAllies.com.  Their "ad buttons" appear on our site.  When you click those buttons from our site and make a purchase, we receive a very small commission but it is not paid out until a certain threshold is met.

So, if you like what you find here, please consider helping us off-set expenses by using the tip basket in the right side bar just above our Facebook Fans.  Payments are processed securely through Paypal.  You don't have to have a Paypal account either, but may want to sign up for one as they are free.  Payments can be processed using a major credit card, debit card, or Paypal balance or bank transfer.

Another option is to purchase a magazine subscription or cookie dough through this link.  We earn up to 40% on what you spend.  You receive something (magazine or cookie dough) for spending your hard-earned money through our site, so it's a win/win.

We highly recommend the All You magazine since it has lots of coupons in it each month.  If you use them, you'll earn your subscription price back very quickly with your coupon savings. 

The All You magazine is only $20.00 for 24 issues through this link (click on the photo below).  You can start a new subscription or renew a current one.  This works out to just $.83/issue.  If you buy the magazine at Walmart they are $2.49 each so this is a great deal.

 

 

Thanks for your consideration!

Beware of Counterfeit Printable Coupons

Please be aware of a couple counterfeit coupons circulating on the Internet.  These are counterfeit and should not be posted, printed or redeemed.  Serious consequences can occur.  Of course, we have NOT posted these printable coupons on couponallies.com.

You should not be discouraged you from using printable coupons since the majority of them are authorized and are legitimate.  Coupons.com, SmartSource and RedPlum, as well as many others, are reputable companies and have contracts with manufacturer's to print coupons.  Coupons printed from these sites are fine and you can use them without concern.

Most printable coupons are limited in the number you may print on any one printer.  So, when there is a link to one that allows you to print a coupon over and over... you might not want to.  Especially if it's not actually based on the manufacturer's site.

These printable coupons are fake and should not be used. 

Another thing to be aware of is purchasing "printable" coupons online.  Since they are limited per computer, it would be highly unlikely that a reputable company would print tons of these and then sell them.

We've all heard it ~ if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.   Or, if there's any doubt about it, the answer should be No.
