Bargains on Big Shopping Destinations

Here's the 411 on getting big savings at the places you shop every day.

This week's Frugal Families feature is going BIG! Sure, we love a good dollar off coupon as much as the next guy, but we think it's just as important to keep up with the ways to save cash each and every time we frequent our regular stores.

Read on for ways you can save whenever you walk through the doors of your supermarket, shopping mall, baby store and more.

1. - You've got your Giant Card of course. But did you know that Giant will double manufacturer's coupons up to 99 cents? You can double a maximum of four identical manufacturers' coupons, and the savings cannot exceed the value of the product. Start clipping!

2. - Sign up here to receive the store's monthly 20 percent off coupons, which you can use for most baby and toddler purchases (some restrictions apply).

3. - If you 're a proud Target addict, especially since the , then it's a good idea to sign up for a REDcard. Every time you use it you'll receive 5 percent off your total, in addition to other coupons, promotions and sales.

4. - Be sure to sign up for the Westfield Wheaton e-mail newsletter to have exclusive coupons from all the mall stores sent directly to your in-box.

5. - We think there are six Subway locations in Wheaton alone (of course, as the country's largest and fastest-expanding franchise, another one could have popped up!). So if this is your go-to lunch place, sign up for the Subway Freshbuzz e-newsletter for daily coupons and savings.

6. - If the baristas know your order before you say it, it's time to sign up for My Starbucks Rewards. Every time you buy, you'll earn points for free coffee and food. Think of it as their frequent (caffeine) flyer program.
