Couponers, need advice

[CajunDixie]

Have any of you subscribed to RefundCents and/or used Coupondede?

It seems the CVS and Wags deals are just so-so lately so I thought about trying to do rebates. I'm not the most organized person but I'd like to give it a try for 3 months I think.

And the coupondede site I'd like to compare shipping times there versus the couponclipper site.

If you haven't used Refundcents, can you recommend another rebate site?

I've read thru other websites' boards but well I really didn't like the clique atmosphere on some of them. It's not my idea of a good site when you get slammed for making a "newbie" remark.

Wow I'm surprised no one here does rebates using the help of a website or newsletter.

I am fond of Ebates

I've never heard of those websites, CajunDixie. Have you tried Couponmom or a full cup? Those are the sites I usually go to for coupon info.

I also spend my time at afullcup.com

I use coupondede if I need to order extras. Make sure you order on Sunday if you're going to order ones that are going to be popular. The shipping is quick - I usually get them about 2 days after I place the order.

Thanks for the info!

I have used couponmom but I don't see a rebate section there. I have the couponing down, now I want to try adding in rebates too.

I've been very pleased with CouponDede. Same with a previous poster, it takes about 2 days after I buy for them to arrive. There's a little timer on the site to tell you when they will be shipped (depending on what time you order).

I have subscribed to refundcents for a little over two years now. It really taught me how to perfect my couponing and refunding. It is well worth the $12 a year. The members are ALWAYS real helpful with "newbie" questions. I've been couponing forever (20+ years) and was amazed at how much I have saved in just a couple of years with the info from there.

I got the print issue only once. I personally did not care for it. You can get all the info on line. The magazine may have a few more stories about individual success.

Refundcents has a lot of personal finds that individuals will post - go to this store -this is now on clearance etc. Some of the readers will put together deals that I have not found on other sites. There is always a listing of current rebates out with the printable forms. Readers are always helpful with your questions.

You can try a 3 month trial for $4. That is how I did it and found savings that I would not have discovered without it. I have renewed yearly ($12) for a couple of times now. I have easily saved that much.

I tried Refund Cents with internet and print subscription for 3 or 6 mos. I don't remember the term, but it was inexpensive to try it. There were some helpful posts, but I didn't care for all the talk about using money-back guarantees. Some people talk about those like they are rebates, which they are not, and using them as such is dishonest. That was a turn-off for me.

I found some good offers via Refund Cents, and $12 a year is not much, so at first it was more about motivation to keep couponing for me. (had a sick, disabled kid and DH was in AFG) At $1 a month, it's hard to go wrong. That being said, with Southern Savers and the many blogs and coupon sites I use, I find more deals than I can or want to pursue. One on RC that really stuck out at me was the story of the 2 women (mother/daughter) who went store to store clearing the shelves of ketchup, getting it free. They ended up with something like 165 bottles. Some people probably think that is really awesome. For me, I thought it was a shame that other shoppers couldn't get the deal because these 2 wiped out all the stock. Turn-off. There are some very nice people on RC, but the daily posts aren't nearly as well organized as DisBoards, and I think that site needs a facelift. I might subscribe again, but if all you are looking for is lists of rebates, then I'd say it's not worthwhile. The magazine has a list of rebates, and I didn't do any because of RC that I wasn't doing anyway.
