Im just starting out, and I was wondering how do you know how much an item will be after the coupon? or i guess what I am asking is where do you find your “original” price of an item. and do you keep a sheet of how much things cost in your binder?
Last month some time, I heard you on the Jaack & Ron show talking about the inexpensive chkicken breast deal. I have been unable to find in your website and was hoping this was a deal repeated every month. Can you give me the link please?
when i try to get to homeland link under find my store the crown is in the way and i cant get to the homeland link, it was in the way before but was enough of the store name show to get it to work but now that its move cant get to homeland at all.
I would like to know how I can get coupon on cell phone so I do not have to print them out, I have them with when ever I need them
Are you interested in taking new guest posts?
hello i was just trying to see if you still wanted them coupons. if you can email me i will send you my number so we can make arrangements. before they expire. i really hate to throw them away..
I have to brag on my Walgreen’s on 33rd and blvd. I called today looking to see if they had the Arm & Hammer sensitive in stock, and the MOD was VERY nice and held 12 bottles for me. I spent a total of $38.66 including tax. I would have spent with out the add price $90.38 including tax.
I just want to say thank tou so much for all your hardwork to produce such a wonderful site! For our family and I am sure many other familes out there who are living pay-check to pay-check, and sometimes worse, your efforts are greatly appreciated and a Godsend. Thank you!
Hi! I heard you on 98.9 yesterday morning and you were talking about a place to sign up for a booklet for $25 off coupons from P&G? Could you direct me to that link? I am not sure where to find that out. Thank you so much! Couponing and saving money is def. an area I need to work on, I appreciate your tips and knowledge. I like when I hear your deals on the radio, b/c it reminds me to come check out your site. Thanks for all the tips!

I am changing the way that I keep my coupons. I have always kept them in a box divided into 4 different sections and then from A-Z within each section, but now I am changing instead to a binder. Are there any tips that you can give me? I’m not sure exactly how to organize within the binder. Do I divide into labeled sections (food, household, etc)? Or do I just label A-Z for the whole binder and have all types of coupons mixed together? What is the best way that has worked for others?
Thank you!!
Cindy

I picked up the OKC paper this morning expecting to see 4 inserts. I only have 2…smartsource and redplum. This has happened to me more than once….very frustrated as I really wanted the P&G insert.
thankyou
I wanted to email you but my work internet won’t let me….but I would LOVE it if you could provide examples of transactions at like Walgreens and CVS like how which products for which transaction then which prodcuts for next transaction with the RR or ECB etc? I almost always screw that part up…..
Thanks!
Hi , Can you please give me the info on how to find the Firelake Discount Store weekly ad website. Thank you,
I noticed you had printable coupons listed with the GFF Foods deals. GFF will not accept internet coupons – or they didn’t last time I tried to use one about 1 week ago.
Thanks,
Susan
I called them and they said they no longer take them due to fraud and they said manufacturers normally do not sponsor the coupons they were getting—however, we all know many manufacturers are sponsoring online coupons now. I tried to explain to them about the Coupon Information Center to where they can see the fraudulent coupons and they refused.
They also seemed very negative about coupons in general stating that people were going in there on doubling days and just getting what they can get for free and nothing else. He stated some people would go in with 30 coupons get 30 items free and not buy anything else.
Hi,
I was trying to send the ConsumerQueen an email but it could not find the page when I clicked on it so I’m trying this. I live in Lawton, OK (shop at Country Mart which is owned by Homeland) and your match up on the sales flyers labeled Homeland works just GREAT for me but I have family in Chickasha, OK and their sales flyer has some different items. See the on-line ad for their location. http://www.homelandstores.com/Shop/WeeklyAd.aspx I notice that you show Chickasha, OK for your site, but it’s flyer is different. Question: Do you have a sales match up that goes with the Chickasha, OK Homeland Sales flyer?…. OR… Do you know of a website that we can use for Chickasha, OK?
Hey…. what you do for so many of us is great. Any information that anyone can provide will be helpful. Thanks!
Cecilia, we do two Homeland ad match-ups. One for the Metro area and one for the Rural areas which should include Chickasha.
I was trying to email you but it wasn’t working.. But I was just curious if you have ever heard of GFF Foods down in Moore, Ok? I live there and I go there to snag some great deals. Just this week I was able to get 6 FREE pkgs. of Bars Brand hotdogs, and Red Diamond Iced Tea for only .98! Oh and I got Mrs. Bairds 7grain bread for only 1.49. They double coupons up to a dollar on Tues, Thurs, Sat, and Sun! They double the first coupon for each product, like if you get more than one of that specific product, the first coupon is doubled but each one after that isn’t. They don’t take printed coupons tho.. but really you can grab some of the best deals there. They have awesome sales almost always. And change it up often! I hope you can look more into this and possibly add it to your site! Thank you.. and good luck all you coupon queens!
Thanks Stephanie…I’ll see what I can do
Stephanie, how did you get the free Hotdogs?
Hello!
First off I just wanted to say how much I love your blog. As a busy mom of three I’ve been following several coupon blogs and this has been one of my favorites. I’ve recently discovered a very handy Iphone app that has been saving me some good money when I grocery shop. You basically submit pictures of your receipt and you receive cash rewards for doing so. Check it out!- http://itunes.apple.com/app/receipt-hog-scan-receipts./id525373618?mt=8
Cheers and happy shopping!

Hi! I was just wondering if you knew of any places that are going to be giving away Free School Supplies for the upcoming school year. My kids are in OKC schools, so they start back August 1st. Thanks.
Haven’t heard of any yet but we’ll post when we do
I was wondering about coupon-clipping services? I’m very wary of coupon fraud; but, there have been some coupons lately that I would really like to get extras of and can’t afford to purchase more than 5 papers each week. Thank you,
Regina…we at ConsumerQueen don’t promote the buying or selling of coupons. Manufacturer’s don’t want people selling their coupons (as it states that on the coupons themselves) and Melissa (AKA Consumer Queen) works for a food manufacturer so she knows first hand that it’s not the right thing to do. The other reason as you brought up there is a lot of coupon fraud especially with printables. We believe since it’s the manufacturer’s that give us the coupons to begin with we should obey their rules
.
Are there any family members or friends that you can get extra coupons from? Also, if you have your paper delivered you can ask your paper person for any extras that they have left over. They just throw them in the recycling bin. Hope this helps
Just wanted to let you know Dollar Tree has Salad Sizzlers for $1! Just saw them at the grocery store for $2.99. Any idea if they take coupons at Dollar Tree?
Dollar Tree does not take coupons. Be sure to compare the ounces in the Dollar Tree deal to the store deal. Sometimes Dollar Tree gets different sizes.
Unfortunately the Dollar Tree doesn’t take coupons that I know of but that’s a great price, thanks!
How often is the coupon database updated?
Tracy, right now the coupon data base isn’t in working order. We are looking for someone who can fix it and get it up to date.
Recently i see the rural and metro homeland deals, but not the regular list i.e. Bartlesville area? Are they all the same? didn’t think so, but thought I better ask.
Has anyone else had trouble with Homeland not carrying the Lucky Leaf pie filling on sale this week? They have regular but nothing more. Is it a regional thing?? Thanks also to the “Queen” to changing our lives, saving with coupons!!
Do you have any more Homeland Care Book that I can order or pick up?
First thank you for all you do!! I just switched to the Binder method for storing coupons. But how do you file the ones you print online? The dates vary so I wasn’t sure the most efficiently time method. (I followed your method on your video, but couldn’t find that part). Thanks for the help!
Voni, I file them all in my binder under the appropriate category and I try to go though it once a month and take out expireds. Hope this helps
Could someone explain to me how you can print out 6 of one coupon? i.e. the add for walgreens this week for kraft??
Voni you can print 2 coupons per computer…in order to get 6 you’ll need access to more than one computer. If you have more than one computer in your house print 2 from each or have family/friends print them for you.
Hi,
I have a question, i date my newspaper coupons and cut them out as i need them, i have aquired a rather large pile of them, and would like to know if you can give a date of newspaper that would be safe to throw them away, i can look thru them myself, but i thought i would ask you first, just in case you happen to keep track of that.
thank you for all of your infinite coupon wisdom
anna keelean
Best thing to do is to print the preview when we post it and then keep it with each weeks inserts. I do that and then cross off the coupons as I use them. once I notice all the expiration dates have passed I cut them and forward the expired ones to the military.
Hi,
I have a quick question I live in guthrie so we mostly use wal mart. I am having hard time finding the walmart match ups i see like the on going and some little ones but there isnt a breakdown like matchups for 9-17-9/22 like there is for buy for less and other stores. Can you please help me with this
Elisia~ We try and post the Wal-Mart deals as soon as we find them. The problem with posting weekly deals for Wal-Mart like we do other stores is that Wal-Mart does not usually have a weekly sales ad. ~Princess Karen
My son-in-law just took his computer in for repair. They said it had a virus from Coupons.com. The internet has were a lot of people are reporting this. This computer repair just ate up all my savings on coupons. I have several other computers that I print from. Do you have any information on how I can protect the other computers and/or remove the virus that might be on them?
Cece- I used AVG Free on my computers at the office and at home. I have 3 computers here and 3 at home (my kids have their own) and I have not gotten a virus from Coupons.com I wonder if it was limited to certain areas or certain coupons? ~Princess Karen
please can anyone direct me on how to purchase the homeland coupon booklets i keep seeing you refer to? thanks in advance
Kristy here’s the link: http://www.consumerqueen.com/lang/en-us/coupon-match-ups/homeland-deals/the-new-homeland-care-booklet-unveiled-see-whats-inside#axzz26qWUjsro
While I LOVE your site I find that I frequent others more often due to your sites layout. On the first page you find the most recent posts expanded and easy to read. While the following pages are in the compressed form. It makes it difficult to determine if I want to read the post or not from just the little snippets of info it gives me.
Hi, i’ve got a question on using register rewards. Can you not use a RR on a purchase where you are using manufacture coupons? I had bought 2 Lysol yesterday with coupons and had a RR that expires on the 10-7. And was told I can’t because the RR is a manufature coupon. I thought it would be applied like cash?
Mei Mei you are correct! The cashier needs to be retrained LOL!!
I have a question about Aisle50, I got an email today with offers. I want to use those offers but I was curious if we could also combine coupons with the offers? For instance you can buy on bag of starbucks coffee and get one free, but I also have a coupon so could I use that coupon as well? I know you pay for it in advance and then it just makes the coffee free at checkout (because you already paid for it) but can I use a coupon and it be applied to my other purchases? They also added a deal for buy 2 bottles of juice get two free
Briana…if you use coupons with the Aisle50 deals your total AFTER coupons has to be greater than the deal. For example on the Ore-Ida deal : Get $10.00 worth for $5.00. Your Total has to be $10.00 after coupons, So if you bought 4 packs at $2.99 each ($11.96) you could use a .75 off coupon doubled which would bring your total to $10.46 which is above the $10.00 deal. I hope this helps and hasn’t confused you lol!
Thank you, yes that clarifies it!
Hi – In the coupon database I found Viva Big Roll paper towels, .50/2. I checked the smartsource.com and it says to use zip 73106, which I did, but there wasn’t any viva coupon there. Did I miss it?
Thanks,
Karen
Karen, printable coupons go very quickly sometimes….It’s very hard to keep up with them because there are so many. You didn’t miss it, it’s probably gone.
hello i was not able to print the tomatoecoupons but i found another one on the website but it says redeem at publix can i use this one at homeland ,thank you for your help
Angie, probably not since it states redeem at Publix on it. Homeland usually won’t take a coupon with another store mentioned on it.
On your site for more savings (over 200 pages) I can’t get past the first page. HELP, found a lot of good deals in the past there.
Rhonda are you trying to access the pages with your phone?
Would there be a way for you to include Spencer’s grocery store in blanchard in your matchups? They also have double coupons.
I have been trying to click on the link to find out what CVS’s coupon is. The web page is down. I know that I have stacked the same coupon when I am buying 2 items (100/2) . I went to a different CVS and he would not let me use more than one. Is the policy up to the manager at each store or is it a company policy? Please let me know. I won’t go back to that CVS if it is management policy.
Thank you
Lorie Stubbs
Lorie, I’m not sure what you are asking, but here’s what I know about the CVS coupon policy. You are allowed use a manufacturer’s coupon and a store coupon on the same item. The following is true at any store, not just CVS: If you are using a $1.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon you cannot use another manufacturer’s coupon on the same two items. You can use a CVS store coupon on the same 2 items. Hope this helps. If it didn’t answer your question let me know.
Hi, are the Homeland coupon books still available to order?
Yes they are! You can order via mail: http://www.consumerqueen.com/lang/en-us/coupon-match-ups/homeland-deals/the-new-homeland-care-booklet-unveiled-see-whats-inside#axzz29qaPVoo7 or watch for my November schedule of appearances which will be up soon!
I have two childrens tablets on lay-way at Walmart that cost $199 each. I just saw the black Friday ad and the tablet is going to be on sale for $149. Any suggestions on how I go about getting the lower price? Should I just finish paying my lay-way and then return them?
Appreciate you suggestions,
Kaci
Not sure how to give you the best answer. What I would do is either pay it off and then return them or ask the manager at the Walmart where you have them if they can price match the Black Friday price for you. I believe they did that last year
I went onto the Toys R Us website and now I still don’t see where to print the $1.99 Wendy’s Kids Meal coupon?
Country Mart on Lee Blvd, Lawton, OK is telling me that if a coupon scans and it does not double, they won’t double it. I have several coupons of concern and I wanted to check with their corporate office. Could you give me their email / telephone number. Thank you.
Coupons that having problems with are….
Blistex $1/2
Barber $1/1 (This is the coupon from the inserts in the newspaper)
Fyi… The Burt Shaving Cream coupon won’t scan at all, but another store is manually keying it in and doubling it.
Am I missing fine print or dnd on Heinz gravy and Idahoen coups? You say .67 each after coup but it should be 3/1.00 total. Am I right??
Voni you are absolutely right…..I’m doing the match-ups for about 15 different stores and doubling, not doubling, taking printables, not taking printables, doubling insert coupons but not printables, doubling only up to .50 ..it’s all swimming around in my head and sometimes it just gets mixed up LOL!!! It’s fixed
Speaking of coupons, for those of us out there who are constantly frustrated when searching for online coupons that don’t work – you have to check out this new site called zendeals.com! It is amazing. They were featured on http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/11/zendeals-launch/ If you want 100% validated and verified coupons this is the place to go – saves both time and money
The Quaker $1.00/2coupons is available again here is the link after you play the game you get the coupon.
