Melissa pointed out an important part of coupon clipping that often gets recycled with the Sunday inserts. Buying items for free or cheap, even if you don’t need them, is a good idea because you can donate those items to charity. http://www.bargainbabe.com

If I had a nickel for every coupon site that existed, I would be able to retire. If I had a nickel for every GOOD coupon site, I would come up short at Starbucks. And I drink the cheap stuff. Here are the sites on my short list. http://www.bargainbabe.com

Get $5 off a purchase of $30 or more at CVS with this coupon, good through Nov. 8, 2009. http://www.bargainbabe.com

Get a free one night rental at one of Blockbusters’ new rental kiosks (i.e. a Redbox rival). Use code 9pm, good through Nov. 30, 2009. http://www.bargainbabe.com

I took Friday off so today I’m highlighting a particularly interesting comment on my post about extreme couponing left by reader Natalie, who pointed out how easy it is to combine coupons – even though most people don’t know it. http://www.bargainbabe.com

Wow! There are some really hot coupons available!!! http://www.bargainbabe.com
