NEW Coupons up at Coupons.com; upromise.com - $0.75 Kix printable coupon = potentially FREE Kix at Giant!

It is the first day of the month, and that means that new coupons are up on Coupons.com.

I noticed some new General Mills coupons right away - like an additional $1/2 Cheerios varieties coupon, which could be used with dollar doublers to get 4 boxes of Cheerios varieties for $2 total. There was also a new $0.75/1 Kix coupon available - which states "do not double or triple", though its coupon number starts with a 5, so your mileage may vary. Either way it will get you the Kix for somewhere between FREE and $0.75/box since Kix is part of the front-page 4/$6 General Mills offer. See our Giant matchups and listed deals here (including General Mills matchups) and yesterday's "trip to Giant" summary for even more details on how the transaction plays out. The Kix coupon (along with other new GM coupons) is also available on Betty Crocker's website and the Pillsbury website, though if you print from one, the other will recognize you as having hit the print limit, so the max for any computer is 4 (2 from coupons.com and 2 from one of the other sites).

Go get your hot coupons at coupons.com right away since quantities are often limited, especially on 'hot ticket' items.

Also check our Google Reader Scoops! in the coming days - viewable at this link and in the right hand sidebar on our blog. Often the coupons that have been renewed or posted at the beginning of the month fly so fast and furiously that it's just more efficient to point you to the hot posts other bloggers have made about what's available out there. Plus, it gives you a chance to get familiar with many fellow frugality bloggers - and their abundance of deal-making wisdom. :)

Also, with the first day of the month comes new e-Coupons on uPromise.com.

If you have store loyalty cards (CVS, Giant, Safeway, Shopper's Food Warehouse, Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Food Lion, anybody?) - then you can tie your loyalty card to your upromise accounts. Just sign into upromise.com, make sure that your loyalty card numbers are tied to your upromise accounts, and go to 'Earn Rewards' in the top menu bar, and click 'e-Coupons'. You can select all of the coupons and load them for August.

You do not get the discounts right away for having loaded these coupons - the 'savings' is loaded instead to your upromise account when you purchase selected items with the store loyalty cards whose numbers you've added to your upromise account. The coupons are very often for the same items heavily promoted in Sunday inserts and store weekly ads, so if you are a couponer, odds are good that you may find yourself buying items that are on the upromise monthly e-Coupons lineup.

This is a painless way to add some college savings in just a couple of minutes. Think about it: you'd kick yourself if you later realized that the CVS "Free After ExtraCare Bucks" item(s) you purchased would also have given you a couple of bucks in your upromise account just because your store loyalty card numbers and coupons would have been pre-loaded. And remember that purchasing certain participating upromise products with your store loyalty card every day (even without e-Coupons!) will add slowly but surely to your upromise accounts.
