10 New Coupons Available at SavingStar (= $1.50 off Trix w/printable)

There are some new coupons to load at SavingStar, including Trix cereal, Honey Nut Cheerios, and Yoplait! (There is also a $.50/1 Trix printable coupon here. Use it at a store that doubles, plus use the Saving Star e-coupon for Trix, and get $1.50 off the box!)

For those who are already familiar with SavingStar, I’ll skip the formalities and tell you to go load the new coupons.

For those who haven’t already signed up with SavingStar, read on, and I’ll tell you how easy it is to make this work!

I’m pretty excited about SavingStar because not only can you stack these with paper coupons, but you can also request a payout in the form of Paypal or an Amazon gift card when you reach $5 earned! In fact, Since December, I’ve earned over $15 cash back

Here are the details:

Go to SavingStar to sign up.
Put in your zip code.
Register your loyalty cards for the stores that come up. For instance, in my area, I had several stores appear: Kroger, CVS, Rite Aid, and Food Lion. However, Publix is not participating at this time, which is a bummer.
Load some e-coupons.
Oh! And did I mention there’s an app for that? (if you have a Droid or iPhone)

Here’s how it works:

When you purchase the required product, the amount of the e-coupon is deposited into your Saving Star account. When it reaches $5, you can request a payout.

Yes, you CAN use a paper coupon at the same time, since the e-coupon amount is not deducted from your bill at the register.

The company that runs Upromise, is the same company that runs Saving Star, which makes sense because it works the same way. You have to decide which site you’d like to use, since you cannot use both coupons at the same time.

Most coupons will be good for one purchase, just like a standard e-coupon, but once in awhile it will say “unlimited,” meaning it would work multiple times.

Coupons must be reloaded every month.

Once you purchase the required items, your account will be credited between 7 and 30 days. When you reach $5, cha-ching! You can cash out, in your choice of payment formats. It’s really that easy!

Doesn’t all that sound great? I’ve already signed up and loaded my coupons! You can do the same by going here.
