June 6, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · 2 Comments

I've receive a plethora {understatement} of emails lately regarding las vegas coupons and how we receive them.

Retail Sale Cycles: When to buy what?

May 25, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · Leave a Comment

With the large influx of new Couponers since the regular airing of TLC's Extreme Couponing show, the need for clarification and explanation to a proper etiquette for coupon shopping is a must. Whenever I post FREE items I always like to reiterate that purchasing "all of the items" on the shelves or in coupon terms, "clearing the shelf" is a no no. Why? One, because it's simply rude. Have you ever wanted a simple bottle of Tylenol and no other stores within miles; and all of that product is gone? True fact! It's happened and all because someone thought it would be super awesome to post how many FREE bottles of Tylenol they got for FREE. If you haven't yet experienced this, stay in the game a bit longer and you will. Two, is because it will go on sale again! FACT! All retail items have sale cycles. This post is to help you better understand the sale cycles of retail products and hopefully share with you not only the best time to purchase items but to show you … [Read more...]

Why you should carry your Coupon Binder EVERYWHERE!

April 19, 2011 by The Deal Fanatic · Leave a Comment

~ Part 1 ~ Since the original airing of TLC's Extreme couponing, I knew it would spark a HUGE interest in couponing as a whole. Many are doing it out of necessity, others maybe for the sport of it. Either way, couponing is a way of life. It is a lifestyle that you can adapt to or not. Hopefully if you are just starting out and are looking for some tips, my series on "Shop Like the Pro's" will help in your learning curve. I always get the strangest look when out shopping and people see me and they ask, "do you take that HUGE Book everywhere?" Yes, yes I do! That's when their face goes completely crazy. It's true! Carrying my coupon binder everywhere enables me to catch deals that I might not have seen online or during my matchups. There have been plenty of times that my binder has saved me hundreds of dollars; just because I had it in my possession. For example: My mom and I had to run into CVS one day and right when we walked in, I saw it....a … [Read more...]
