The Kat House

As I’ve mentioned here before, I am currently working on a Total Money Makeover. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s financial guru Dave Ramsey’s program for becoming debt free and living a financially independent life. Over the past year, I’ve kept to a strict budget, trimming the fat from my lifestyle and saving money wherever possible. Without a doubt, coupon codes have been the biggest help to me during this process.

If you do a lot of online shopping like I do, it’s well worth your time to browse for coupon codes before making your purchases. By simply entering a code a checkout, you can receive a considerable discount. There are a number of coupon websites out there, but http://www.couponchief.com has one of the largest databases of coupons available on the net. They currently work with more than 8,000 merchants and have more than 40,000 coupon codes.

One of the things I really like about Coupon Chief is that in addition to saving money, you can actually earn money by utilizing the website! Their Pays-2-Share program allows you to submit new coupon codes. Whenever one of your codes is used, you’ll receive 2% of the commission earned by Coupon Chief. I just entered two great Books-A-Million coupons and am excited about earning a little cash when they’re used.

I have to share a story about the Doctors Foster and Smith coupons. Cruella’s thyroid medication costs about $30 for a three month supply at the vet’s office. I have been purchasing it through Doctors Foster and Smith for $5.40 with free shipping! And it gets even better! Every time I order this medication, I use a coupon code for $5 off any order. Yes, I pay only 40 cents for three months worth of medication!

Eventually I’ll complete my Total Money Makeover, and I’ll be calling the Dave Ramsey Show to scream, “I’m debt free!” Certain aspects of my lifestyle may change at that point, but one things for certain. I’ll still be using coupon codes!
