As you may know, I am not the only blog on this world wide web which features Homeland Coupon Match-Ups. There are a few I used to refer to before I began matching my own deals - ones I still refer to in order to be sure I did not miss anything. The reason I began posting deals on my own was for my friends who may not know of the other sites and would be more likely to be encouraged in their couponing if they found the deals on my site directly. However, after spending 2-4 hours every Wednesday afternoon pulling together and detailing Homeland deals, I have made the executive decision to put off posting these deals on my site for the time-being. I feel I have been falling behind in many areas lately and out-sourcing this aspect of the blog seems to be the most logical way for me to re-claim some time in my schedule.
Knowing there are others out there who do this every week (and tend to be more thorough) who also receive compensation for doing so (via advertising and sponsorship), I feel confident in knowing my readers will still be able to find their Homeland deals every week. I will continue to post links to these sites weekly and, also, post any deals not previously listed elsewhere (though these won't typically be often because, as mentioned, these women are very thorough).
My two favorite sites are:
Simple Saving Savvy- Amanda Brackney runs this blog as well as an endeavor she calls Couponing for Christ. I recommend her because of her encouragement of the ethical use of coupons, as well as her thorough research before posting any deals - being sure they are ethical and valid.
Consumer Queen - Run by Melissa Garcia, who also recently began writing a weekly couponing article for The Oklahoman (which runs in the Life section on Wednesdays), she has recently begun posting deals as early as Monday - which is great for planning ahead. What keeps me from favoring this site is the fact that Melissa is not the only contributor and I have noticed a lack of quality control (sometimes deals are listed which are not valid or amounts are not accurate). But for early planning, this is your site.
Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns.
