Other Money Saving Sites/Blogs

I hope that you have already noticed the list of blogs that I am following on the lower right side of the page, but if you have not, please take a chance to look at these sites and see if they are useful for you as well. 

Printable Coupons site

Sorry it has taken me so long to get a new post up, had some technical difficulties with the computers.  Anyway, while looking for coupons this last week (well yesterday and today) I have discovered that one webpage comes up quiet frequently, AND so far have not found an invalid or expired coupon link!  For us coupon users, that is a great sign.  Mommy Saves Big is an awesome site and I encourage everyone to look, utilize and pass it on.  With everything that has been going on, this economy is harsh, and I know that even if you don't really feel like you need to save every penny possible, it's always nice to be able to, and know there are resources out there.

Extreme Couponing on TLC...what's your take?

I have watched a few episodes of TLC's new show Extreme Couponing, and I've noticed a few things that some might say are a little disturbing.  Many of the people profiled on this show purchase items in bulk, sometimes even buying out the store's stock.  Several of the people on this show are overweight, but we watch as they purchase many items that are considered unhealthy.  I have also noticed that on each episode I have watched, these people have stockpiles of products they don't need,  and they aren't donating items either.  From what I have found online regarding these people, only 2 people that have been profiled on the show donate items (and they donate the majority of what they get).  I'm glad that there are people out there who are now on television to show the country (or the world) that it is possible to use coupons and get things for super cheap. 

Online Circulars for Harvey's and Winn Dixie

Thought I would try something a little different today, consolidating 2 posts into one, for both of the circulars that have sales starting today.  Harvey's sale paper has some pretty good deals in it, and if you have coupons it makes some of the deals even better.  Winn Dixie has some good B1G1 deals, and of course remember to use your coupons and make it cheaper. Remember, one coupon for the item you pay for and one coupon for the item you get free.   Happy Shopping!

Where will the economy go from here???

While much of the country is celebrating the fall of the world's most wanted terrorist, those of us who sit here and clip coupons and save pennies as part of our daily routine to save money in this economy, is anyone thinking about where gas prices are going after this?  Are we trusting that these other countries are going to continue to sell to the United States, or are they going to turn their backs on us now? As a disabled veteran, I have mixed feeling on the death of Osama bin Laden.  Yes, it is a relief that he is no longer a threat.  But since America has become a country of more import than export, is anyone wondering if any countries we do business with will discontinue doing business?  I am interested in seeing where things go from here.
