Tara and I have been hard at work behind the scenes to make her vision for the most intuitive, user-friendly coupon database on the internet a reality, and we're excited to announce its launch today!
The Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database is a comprehensive listing of coupons from newspaper inserts and printable coupon sites such as Coupons.com, SmartSource.com and Redplum.com as well as e-coupons from CellFire and Upromise. We'll be adding Bricks coupons and those listed on manufacturer sites as we go forward, but we didn't want you to have to wait any longer to start using it!
A couple of the features that we're very excited about include:
- An expandable view to give you even more information about each coupon, including limitations, product categories and subcategories.
- A blogging format field for bloggers that allows you to simply copy and paste the information for each coupon as you're doing your coupon match-ups.
- A comprehensive search feature that allows you to sort coupons by brand, description, source and more.
Perhaps the most exciting feature, though, are the Personal Coupon Boxes! That's right – you can create an account to keep track of all of the coupons you currently have in your stash to make your own personal shopping and saving easier. With your Personal Coupon Box, you can:
- Add your own regional or specialty coupons that aren't in the main database.
- Edit the quantity of each coupon.
- Edit the expiration date on printable coupons based on the date you print them.
I'm still updating the database with the new printable coupons that came out today as well as this week's inserts, and we have some tweaking to do as we figure out what works best for you, but we hope it will be a resource that helps you take your deal-seeking to the next level!
We welcome your comments and suggestions on any additional features that would make the database more useful to you. Feel free to email me at mandi@dealseekingmom.com!

I am absolutely amazed! How in the world do you have time to do all of this? Either way, a huge thank you...looks awesome.
Insanely awesome!! Can't imagine how you figured all this out and made the time to put all of it together for us! THANK YOU!!
This is the coolest thing ever! Thank you SO MUCH for all your hard work!!
WOW! Very impressive--I love it!
Awesome! Thanks for bringing so many great offers to a single place!
Awesome! Do you have any job openings? :)
How do you do it? This is my favorite site, and now I love it even more. Hope you know that you are loved and appreciated.
Oh My Goodness!!! Thank You!! Thank you!!! Thank You!!!!
I do not think I can thank you enough. I tried to do this on my own with a spreadsheet and it was a total failure, not to mention quite messy.
You are absolutely amazing!!! I bow down to you :-)
Wow, what an awesome feature, incredible! Thanks so much!
Thanks. I love creating databases and using them. I had starting thinking through one for my coupons... you just saved me a little time! :) Thanks so much. My husband just said you must be a girl after my own heart! Looking forward to using this!
Yea! Can't wait to use it! If I could make any suggestion, it would be to make the database that was "mobile friendly" for my iPhone. I sort my coupons by date, not category, so I'm always wishing I had a mobile database when I'm at the store and I want to find a coupon to go with a clearance deal that I find. Just a suggestion! Love your website, and I'm sure I'll be using it even more than I already do!
This is very exciting! This database will make my weekly ad/coupon matchups for Target and CVS so much easier and faster. What a great idea!
Here's a suggestion. Don't know if you can do this. If there's a way to put a whole bunch of coupon searches in at once and them have them all show up that would be great. For example, if there are deals on Pantene, Yoplait, Ziploc. I would like to put all those words in at once and then show the results.
When I do matchups I feel like I spend a lot of time going back and forth entering once product name at a time.

YAY!!! Im so excited!! I will post a link on my blog to your database as soon as its all ready to go! YAY YAY!!!
This is just amazing. You've just made my favoite site even better. Thank you!
You all ROCK!!! Thank you SO much!!
Looks like it's going to be wonderful. I registered already
O-M-G!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU AND THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!!!! I must admit that my cousin and I have been using mostly all of the coupon techniques you have spoken about before we found this blog. However, you have made it SOOOOOOOOOO much easier to where we don't have to think......... and this coupon database......you deserve an award!!!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!!!!
hey everyone, i'm fairly new to couponing & have a question. if something is B1G1F (like the planters nuts at Rite Aid this next week) and I have a $1/2 coupon, can I use it on the B1G1F? or would I have to buy 2 and get 2 free to use the coupon?
Hi Anne, you can use your coupon on the BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) offer. But sometimes, if you have a nice cashier, they will let you use 2 coupons when you BOGO...
Yay, thank you so much for doing this. I'm so excited!
Thanks, Jaz. I went to Rite Aid today for BOGO on Covergirl, but they wouldn't take my $2/2 coupon because they said I was only buying one.
I am so glad you are all as thrilled as I am about this. I've been searching for something like this for ages and didn't find anything that met my needs, so I figured why not just create one. A huge thanks to Mandi for taking all of my ideas and helping me bring them into reality!
BTW, I can't remember who mentioned the mobile version, but it's already in the works!!! Thanks for any and all feedback. We'll be tweaking it based on your suggestions.
This is VERY exciting! THANK YOU!!!!
Amazing! Thank You So Much!!
WOW! Thank you for all of the hard work to do this. I LOVE this site and am constantly telling my family and friends about it. Now there is one more reason to love it!!!! You are wonderful!
OMG! Fantastic! Congrats!
This is sweet, I will be imputing my coupons asap. Thank you so much for your hard work. This is the first time I have registered on any blog. I have been visiting your blog for over a year and your info has saved my family big!!!! thanks again.
This is wonderful!! I cannot imagine the amount of time and energy that you have put into something like this. It will definitely make my life easier! Thank you!!!
you Rock! this will save me sooo much time!
AMAZING! This is so great and helpful. Thank you!
WOW!!! I cannot wait to use it!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I've been looking for something this great as I am still somewhat new to all these coupons and deal blogs(6 months now).
Very very nice :) I'm sure this will be quite helpful!
This looks great! Thanks Girls! Just one question . . . how do you get to the database other than through this post? I didn't see anything on your homepage with a quick link to get to it?
Great job-Love It-Awesome!
Ladies,
This is one amazing resource! I'm sure a lot of hard work went into it, so thank you for making our lives easier :)
I love the blogging format!! What a great way to make things so much easier for matchups.
Awesome work ladies!!I love this thank u thank u!!!!
Yippee! I find that I am using increasing numbers of IP's and had no way to keep track of exp. dates except to note on a calendar or search thru by hand. Needless to say I lost some nice high $ coupons with this system. The ability to input my own coupons will save me so much time, and my family so much $$, that I want to yell out a big THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to use this.
LOVING this!
I had been tinkering around with a database of my own, but wasn't having much success. Inputting was taking more time than it was worth, and I couldn't find a good way to import. Your database looks GREAT. I adore the way it is set up - it matches the way I 'think' about my Q's. Loving the mobile version idea for the future too! If I could give one suggestions - it would be a 'notes' field. But that's certainly not a dealbreaker!!
I hope you don't mind me commenting twice.. but I just entered last week's Q's and I am blown away! It's even better than I first thought. Part of me thinks I'd like to be able to edit categories in my personal box - but then.. no not so much. I think I'd rather adjust my actual coupon box categories to your system.
I've been looking at this more, this is just an incredible resource, I think everyone will want to use this! :)
Is there any way to show regional coupons? Since a lot of coupons vary by region, is there any way to distinguish which region the coupon is from or can this be set up to search by region? Coupons are very different in different regions, both in the amounts and the types of coupons.
I already brag on you guys to everyone I know...and just when I didn't know how you guys could get any better, you continue to exceed my wildest expectations! Keep up the amazing work and I can't wait to try this out! Thank-you!
Thanks again, everyone!
Kristie, thanks for pointing out that I didn't have it linked to the homepage. I was so excited to roll it out that it didn't even cross my mind. I'd like to have a graphic made for it, but I placed some temporary links in the far right sidebar under the search box.
Have you thought about making this a downloadable application, either for PC/Mac or mobile?
Hi ladies!
I can't wait to check the database (in a minute)! I just had to say that for the last two years I had been experimenting with different ways to make my couponing easier and started using Excel spreadsheets as my database. I clipped coupons, organized them as usual by categories and added them to my database which includes Coupon Name, Value and Exp. Date. It makes it waaaay easy for me to print out the sheets each time I go shopping so instead of rummaging through coupons I can easily glance and check off. Then I just pull them out of my coupon organizer and voila! The only problem is that it is a little time consuming but I enjoy it - so much easier! Point being, I think I'm gonna love your database!
Love love love it!
I'll watch for a button to add to my blog!
I have the same questions as comment #44. :D
Is there a regional system set up? That would make it so so so amazing! If, in the future you decide you need regional volunteers to help with the coupon values---I'm your girl!! haha. Your site is amazing!

This is so awesome! What a great feature for your site! Much better then other's I have seen recently! Way to go!
help! how can i find this post in the future? I can't ever remember the link and if you go to the main homepage, you can't find this. Is there an easy search feature or link somewhere on the site so i can get back to the database easily???
