Deal Seeking Mom is by far my favorite blog about couponing and freebies. I think it is the most comprehensive and organized out there for the subject matter.
One of my favorite features of the blog is a fairly new one - the DSM Coupon Database. You can enter a brand name, a product category, or several other limits to search by, and it will come up with a list of available coupons and where they are located. This includes Internet printable coupons, inserts (with the specific insert and date listed), special deals from company websites, or wherever the coupons can be found.
You also have the option of creating your own personal coupon box, where you can keep track of what coupons you have. This is not an option I use very much, but if you'd rather organize electronically than by hand, it might help.
And, as if that weren't enough, you get an entry in a giveaway for adding a coupon that is not yet loaded into the database. Be warned, there are not many out there that haven't already been added, but if you do happen to find one, sign it up. If approved by a site admin, you'll get an entry. I think the current contest is for a $25 Amazon gift certificate.
One final benefit for this database: blogging. I generally remember amounts and types of coupons that I use, but when I do my grocery trip posts, I can't always remember where/when I got the coupons I used. So what do I do? Look them up in the database. If I can't find my exact one, generally I can find something similar.
This is a great resource that even lightweight couponers should take advantage of!

Thanks so much for an awesome post about the DSM Coupon Database! I was really aiming to make it useful for both bloggers and readers, so I'm thrilled to hear that you find it useful. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, I'd love to hear them.
