The weekly meme
Welcome to Mom Start Saving, where moms can come and leave their link about the hard work they do saving money; and where other moms can find great deals.
Last week, I wrote my blurb when I was tired and ready to go to bed. This time I’m running late but it might actually be for the best. I have mo energy in the morning. I’m going to be going to Albertsons tomorrow and I need to do a huge coupon match up because they have some really great spend 10.00 and then you get more money off. I’m quite excited. So I’m going to scour the internet and all of my coupons.
This week, I want to know how you are using websites to help you save money. I do have another sponsor for us this week. Coupon Chief.
Coupon Chief is a little bit different from most of the sites out there that give you coupon codes and a percentage back. Instead of offering you different percentages for different sites:
We pay you back!
We offer you the ability to share revenue with us! For any coupon you submit, we’ll share 2% of revenue earned from purchases made with that coupon.
I have also found that they are very pleasant on the eyes to look at. The site is simple and organized.
We have it covered
You’ll find codes for thousands of retailers on our site – from computers to apparel, you’ll find it here. Our offerings represent an amazing range of coupon codes for you to browse and use!
You have a lot of input at Coupon Chief.
Get coupons that work
Don’t get stuck with coupons that either don’t work or are expired. CouponChief invites its members to comment, rate and validate coupons so everyone always has access to the best deals. Once a coupon expires, it gets removed from the site so you only see what’s absolutely valid.
Our users help
We know how tough it is to find every coupon out there, so we’ve invited you to contribute. This helps us keep an exhaustive database of all working online coupons.
If you need some great coupon codes for Halloween. You need to check out their Halloween Coupon Code section. They have codes for costumes to decorations, candy to popcorn. So don’t forget to find a coupon before you shop, odds are there is a coupon for any store or item that you are about to purchase. Shop around, find the best deal, and the best deal site that works for you.
Our Sponsor this week is offering:
25.00 Visa or Master Card or AMEX it depends of what I find over at Fred Meyer. 
To Enter:
Please visit the Coupon Chief and come back here and give us your impressions.
Extra Entries:
Visit Each link from last week’s link up and leave them a comment. Come back here and tell me you did.
You can also add your own link and I recommend that you do because we have another sponsor next week. Please only add links about saving money, coupons or finding free items. You know, anything that is about saving money and in this economy we need all the help we can get.
You can Blog about Mom Start Saving and also be kind enough to link to the sponsor for 5 extra entries;
Any tweet about Mom Start Saving counts as well.

Coupon WAHM
it seems helpful and i like that it’s free to make an account.
What I like is that there is a video tutorial to help computer illiterates like myself:)
So often websites like these assume we know the lingo, and we have to learn from watch, wasting time!

I actually really like the layout.. it’s clean and crisp.. easy to navigate.. and topics are easy to find. I like that I don’t have to waste my time searching!
cool site, its so hard to know which ones are really good – there are so many out there

I liked the video and the lay out of the site.
I like the 3 rows of columns on the right however the font color is a bit light. there’s a lot of white space on the blog – I’d do some subtle shading – nothing dark enough to impact readability.
really smart concept
i;d like this for Christmas
LOVE the site!! Thanks so much for the chance.

I like that it has a video tutorial to help computer newbies. Very helpful.
It’s a clean site and easy to navigate. The video tutorial was very helpful.
Talk about user-friendly. I like just about everything, except, my usual complaint. I like a larger font.
Well I can’t see the video because I am at work, but I really like the idea of having lots of codes in one place – that aren’t expired. I google coupon codes, and it’s so hard to sift thru the ones that are and aren’t expired! thanks!
A great site.
Site seems similar to other sites… I like that you can set up email alerts for your favorite retailers.
they offer coupons for many popular stores, sao it’s a good place to find bargains

I like the fact that the site is clean and easy to navigate. Very user friendly.
the pays-2-share program is one I’ve not noticed on other coupon sites. Really encourages pro couponers to share their knowledge!
I have never seen anything like it before. It appears to be an easy way to save on toys and more.

What a fabulous website! It’s easy to use & has a huge variety of stores to obtain coupon codes for. It’s an excellent resource for saving while shopping online. Thanks!
They seem to have a lot of great coupon codes! Lots of ways for me to save money. Yah!!
The first time I went to the site, it froze on me. However, it loaded perfectly the second time. I love the “popular tags” links — makes it so easy to find what you’re looking for.
i like that it provides useful ways to save me $$$
I love having all of these coupons combined on one easy to use site!
good layout and easy to navigate. have it bookmarked. thanks!
I like that it’s so easy to use. There’s not much to really “figure out”, it’s just all there for you!
Very cool site. I’m gonna join it seems easy to navigate and I like the giving back if you submit function.
I get the impression that there is more oversight–not a mishmash of unverified codes like some sites have. That’s great.
It looks fairly straight-forward. Thiws, of course, is good.
I.m always looking for sites that provide money saving tips.
Great way of posting deals

the popular tags are very helpful as are the $ saving tips! It’s a bit on the slow side though.

Coupon Chief is new to me. I like it – I searched on a few things I always need coupons for and they were all there!
I Like the layout and the tutorial.
I like that you can search by store. The layout is pleasing to the eye and it is easily navigated.
Honestly… my very first impressions about Coupon Chief was that it didn’t look very “user-friendly.” However, it might “grow” on me.

The video tutorial was very helpful.

I love this site. Very cool. My computer doesn’t like the site very much-not sure if it’s my computer or the site. Thanks for the giveaway!

I like the fact that you can see when the coupon expires right above it picture. I also like that they list the different coupons available for each item (so if I want free shipping… I can use this coupon, or if I want to save 20% use this one instead, etc). Thanks for introducing me to Coupon Chief. I favorited the site.
I left a comment on Nestle Printable coupons !

It looks really good except that I don’t shop online at US stores-but do use printable US coupons.I could only find coupon codes, or links that might give discounts at checkout online. If there aren’t printable coupons they should change the title to Coupon Code Chief maybe? If there are printable options there should be a way to find them.
I took a look at the Coupon Chief site, looks nice very clean not to cluttered. i looked up a few stores that i frequent like the gap and they were there.
