April showers bring May flowers and also the dreaded spring cleaning.

Now is the time to start packing away those winter clothes. You can find many deals on storage totes, organization, and cleaning supplies. April is also a great time to replace your vacuum cleaner. I know buying a vacuum isn’t necessarily the most exciting purchase you'll make, but it can be less painful when you’re taking advantage of a spring cleaning sale. Easter is Sunday, April 9th this year, and when Easter is done and over, leftover candy and Easter-related products will be deeply discounted.

Also with winter finally over (for some of us..lol), it’s the perfect time to get active again and there will be many deals on sneakers and activewear to help you out. Consider this your reminder and extra motivation to keep working towards those fitness goals you set in January! Keep going, YOU GOT THIS!!

Surprisingly tires also go down in price around April, so if you need to replace them, April is a great month to find Krazy Deals on some new tires. Also, FYI Mother's Day is right around the corner coming up on May 12th to be exact, so some April deals would work out well too, as small appliances and jewelry tend to be discounted in April.

April definitely has its fair share of spring deals and discounts. Other dates to remember coming up in April are Earth Day on the 22nd, Administrative Professionals Day on the 24th, and Arbor Day on the 26th. Tax Day will be April 15th, 2024.

If you're like me and always looking to save even more money on your online purchases two of my go-to coupon and coupon code browser extensions are Honey and Rakuten. Ibotta has recently launched a Beta Browser that is on the fast track to becoming my favorite browser, I highly recommend checking it out and giving it a try! I also recommend using cashback apps to earn money back on your every day in-store and online purchases. My favorite cashback apps are Ibotta and Fetch Rewards.

Exploring the World of Coupons: Your Guide to Maximized Savings

Coupons have been a key part of smart shopping for years. But as tech changes, so does couponing. Now, we've got old-school paper coupons and cool digital deals. Let's check out all the coupon types and how you can use them to save lots of cash.

Types of Coupons

Paper Coupons: These are the ones you clip from newspapers, flyers, or magazines. They're real things you can hold and often go in coupon binders.

Digital Coupons: These are the new way to save. You find them on store sites, apps, or through emails. They get scanned from your phone when you pay.

Coupon Codes: Mainly for online shopping, you put these codes in when you check out to get a discount.

Cashback Offers: Not really a coupon, but they save you money after you buy stuff. Apps and credit card rewards give cash back for certain items or stores.

Step-by-Step Guide to Couponing

Step 1: Get Your Tools Ready

Start with a folder for paper coupons and a smartphone for digital ones. Sign up for newsletters from shops you like to get special deals.

Step 2: Know Where to Look

For paper coupons, look in:

Newspapers
Store flyers
Magazines
Mailers

For digital coupons and codes, check out:

Step 3: Keep Your Coupons Sorted

Put paper coupons in order by type or when they expire. Use apps to keep digital coupons ready and set reminders for when they run out.

Step 4: Understand the Details

Make sure you know the rules. Some coupons can't be used with other deals, or they might only work for certain things.

Step 5: Plan Your Shopping Trip

Use coupons when stores have sales for even bigger discounts. Make a list based on where your coupons will save you the most.

Step 6: Be Ready at Checkout

Have paper coupons cut out and ready. For digital coupons, open them on your phone before you get to the cashier.

Step 7: Keep Track of Your Savings

Write down how much you save. This shows you how great couponing is and keeps you going.

Advanced Strategies

Stacking Coupons: Use a coupon from the maker and a store coupon for the same thing.
Price Matching: Some stores will match other stores' prices, so you can use your coupons with the lowest price.
Rain Checks: If a sale item is gone, ask for a rain check to buy it later at the sale price and use your coupon then.
Loyalty Programs: Mix coupons with loyalty program deals for more savings.

Shopping/Coupon Browser Extensions

Browser extensions can make couponing even easier. They find and apply coupon codes for you when you shop online. Here are some popular ones:

Honey: Honey automatically finds and applies coupon codes at checkout.
Capital One Shopping: Capital One Shopping compares prices and provides available coupon codes.
Rakuten: Rakuten offers cash back and coupons for many online stores.

Just add these extensions to your browser, and they'll do the coupon search for you.

By knowing all about coupons and following these steps, you'll be on your way to being a coupon pro. Remember, good couponing is all about being organized and ready. Enjoy the savings!
