FAQ



How do I get started?

I recommend heading over to my Getting Started Page.  Most importantly though, I encourage you to download my ebook, Coupon Keri’s Guide to Couponing or DVD Workshop (Coming Soon)

I don’t understand coupon lingo, what does it all mean!?
Check out this post here: Acronymns

How do I know which offers you post I should take advantage of/sign up for?
I post a lot of great deals, coupons, freebies and money making opportunities every week. Only you know what you will benefit from and what your budget allows. Freebies are great, and I think you should probably sign up for all of them that your family might enjoy! Coupons, only print out those that you think you might use. If you enjoy making money online, sign up for any money making opportunities that catch your eye. Be a bit more discerning with the hot deals though. Remember that deals happen often. Just because something is a hot deal today, doesn’t mean that deal won’t come around again. Don’t feel like you have to take advantage of everything!

I’m from Canada, is it possible to strategically shop here?

The Blog:

What is the best way to navigate through the site?
I highly recommend using the navigation bar up top

Do you post on a specific schedule? When can I expect to see grocery store matchups? money saving tips? giveaways?
I do strive to post on a pretty consistent schedule, however I don’t publicize that schedule. I have a family that needs me, and I don’t want to let my readers down if life gets in the way.

I found a great deal, can I email it to you?
Definitely. couponkeri@gmail.com

I sent you a great deal, why didn’t you post it?
I try and balance my deals and my content posts. So I don’t post every deal I see/hear about. I post what I think my readers will most appreciate as a whole. However, just because I didn’t post your deal this time, doesn’t mean I won’t next time!

Can I link to your blog?
By all means, if you see a deal here and want to share it…go for it! I ask for a link back to give me credit and please don’t copy and paste any of my articles (I work hard on those!).

I have a business and I’d love for you to review my product/provide a giveaway for your readers. Do you accept PR pitches?
Yes, I do. However, if I don’t think it’s a good fit, I will politely turn it down.

I really would love to guest post on your site. Do you accept guest posts?
I love guest posts. It should be in the couponing niche and you can link back to yourself in your bio.

Will you help me with my blog?
Most likely, yes I will. My family comes first and my own blog comes first, but I love to help other bloggers.

Will you place my button or my link on your blog?
Unfortunately, as my blog has grown, I’ve had to stop doing this. For one, I simply started to get too many requests. I also accept private paid advertising and it would not be fair to require my private advertisers to pay and still continue to maintain a free blogroll. If interested in advertising, red my post here.
