Hi! My name is Ann and I own and author Coupons, Deals and More.
Coupons, Deals and More is an outlet for me to share my couponing and deal knowledge, which goes back over 25 years in the real world.
In the virtual world, I’ve been writing up deals online since 2000 when I began posting to various forums. In 2001, I approached Tim Storm the owner of fatwallet.com with a proposition to implement a Grocery Coupon forum on fatwallet.com. Tim accepted, and it changed the way people thought of couponers as well as bringing couponing to the younger crowd hanging out at technology forums. That original Grocery Coupon forum closed a few years after I moved on, but oh what an impact it did make!
In 2003 I left fatwallet.com to moderate and write deals at bargainshare.com. I spent the next six years at bargainshare and I loved every moment of the time spent on that forum.
In early 2009, with much encouragement from my husband, I started my own blog: Coupons, Deals and More.
Coupons, Deals and More is the culmination of my passion and mission to help people save money and live within their means. As the owner, I make the decisions on what is ultimately posted on this blog. My criteria for posting is solely based on whether or not I feel the item or service is a good deal. And, with over 25 years of experience, I can definitely tell when something is a good deal.
I am based in New York State, have one child (Sonny-boy, 22) and am married to a wonderful man who has truly changed and enhanced my life (Hubby).
I encourage you to post any question you may have on the blog. I always answer.

I love your website,
I make sure I visit and read the sunday morning deals every week.
If I Could get more deals on the vegetarian groceries It would be great help.
thanks
I save a lot on diapers too
I just “adore” your site, one of my favorite sites, literally. I am fairly new at couponing compared to others, but one thing your site has shown/changed in me is how I now “view deals”. Just because it’s out there doesn’t mean it’s the best deal for me…
I can’t thank you enough for all you do!!!!
I am very new at this & am still learning. 2 kids, 2 mortgages… it is REALLY helping! Thanks!!!
Hi Ann I came over to link your blog to the Stop and Shop Forum in Slick Deals. We were talking about the new National Cat Schedule. Thank You for letting me link that. I read about you and also started at FW and BS many years ago. I went to SD in 2007 and have been there since. I will probable sign up for your email list, but wanted you to know I love your site.

I just wanted to thankyou for sharing all your knowledge with us .This is the only site I go to now all I need is here .I have shared this info with all my friends and family ,again Thankyou so much .
I wish I could get my hands on the inserts….I live in Canada, close enough to go shopping once in awhile, but not close enough to run over every weekend to get the paper…boo hoo
Ann, I have just recently started to get into couponing, and love your site! I have shared it with my friends. Thanks for the help in saving my family money!
Not sure how I found your site but glad I did. I am from New York State myself, Lackawanna. I live in Texas with my wife and she just shakes her head because I’m the coupon cutter in the house. Thanks for what you do and the passion you have for doing it.
I have just recently decided that I would like to try couponing, and stumbled across your website. While I have always clipped coupons, I have not found them to be very good in the last few years. It seems like every copuon that I might clip requires a purchase of 2 or more items, which isn’t really a good deal to me. The show “Extreme Couponing” has peaked my interest again, and I thought to myself – if they can do it, so can I. I just need to put some effort into it. I live in Syracuse, NY and am hoping to find more inspiration by following your website. Thank you for keeping such an informative, easy to read and encouraging site! I am starting small, and hope over time that I can purchase groceries for my family of 4 without spending any money.
Hi, Laura, I live very close to Syracuse and would love to find out if there is any coupon clubs in or around Syracuse that exchange coupons with others. I have many that I don’t use and hate to see them go to waste, dog food, baby products, medicine, are just a few that I have no use for.
I also love this site it has many avenues for sales, coupons and many stores. Thanks

I am a novice when it comes to couponing. I have visited a few sites which totally confused me. Then I came across yours. Thank you for making sense of it all. In todays economy you are providing a great service to us all.
