Mother’s Day is May 10, 2015 and is approaching fast. Do you know what you will get for your mother this year?

Have you already seen the perfect gift item but just can’t afford it?

With a little planning and the tips listed below, you could be well on your way to the perfect Mothers Day gift:

Use your Internet Coupon Resources and get cash back

If you enjoy shopping online, be sure to sign up for an Ebates account. On Ebates, you can earn money back while you shop online at certain retailers. Do you need to purchase flowers? What about that favorite robe she has always wanted? What about a great Gift Basket this year? Most retailers have online coupon codes that you can use to save additional money. Let your Mother's Day shopping save you money in return.

Use Michael’s Coupons and DIY

Michael’s Crafts has coupons on their website and in most Sunday Newspapers. Clip one of the coupons and go to the craft store this year. Consider creating your mother a different gift this year. A collage of pictures featuring different milestones in your life or places that you have been, would make a great DIY gift. Michael’s has excellent craft supplies and sometimes you can find coupons for 40 percent off one item.

Quida can find a coupon for almost anything and she often surprises cashiers when she checks out. For more tips on saving and couponing, visit Quida at  Simple Savings for ATL Moms. Connect and interact with her on Twitter Facebook, and Instagram.
