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.

Free Samples, Awesome Coupons

I encourage anyone with a few minutes to look through this website and request the samples/coupons that interest you.  I have gone through this site numerous times and have been impressed that some of the samples were full size products.  And the coupons you get are great.

Thanks to the Deal Seeking Mom website for the link!

Exreme Couponing

Has anyone else really watched this show?  I missed it this week and was hoping to catch it on Xfinity, since it is not On Demand yet.  They only have video clips from it, so I watched those.  Some seem a bit crazier than even what I have seen on TV.  One woman spends $70 on coupons and another goes to the local dump to get coupons.  While both are very shocking, and neither is in my future, I think I would rather go to the dump (it is actually a very organized dumpster that this woman goes to) before I spend (WASTE) money on coupons.  And so I will go back to clipping my coupons now. :)

Harvey's Weekly Sale

Here's your weekly Harvey's Circular for your shopping enjoyment. 

Harvey's TurnKey Promotion

Harvey's Supermarket is currently running a special where you can save a little more on your groceries when buy select groceries.  Check out the link here.  Happy Savings!

What is considered "thrifty"???

I have been seeing a great many posts from other websites where you pay a great deal of money for a "deal".  I have never thought once about passing on any of these, because I really don't feel that these items that costs a great deal to be anything that is absolutely necessary.  Or magazine subscriptions, now that I am sitting here going through these emails that I receive, to pass on to you!  Is a magazine something you would need/use on a regular/daily basis?
I personally prefer to have the deals that are on the groceries and every day items that we use on a daily basis.
If you would like for me to pass on the more high priced deals, please let me know.

Sunday Paper Day!!!

Just a reminder that today is the day to grab up a paper (or 2) for your coupon inserts.  Here around Tallahassee, I have discovered that Walgreens is the cheapest place so far to get your paper today, for .99, instead of $1.50 at most other places.

Coupon Binders

After much work and deliberation, my coupon binder is almost totally complete.  I am very happy about this, and once this is finished I can go back to my typical daily housework.  I find that this new binder, while much MUCH bigger than what I had previously for coupons, is much more organized, and after doing a little bit more research have decided that no future shopping trip will go without a preplanned shopping list (which means more work) and of course coupons that go along with that shopping list.  I have had all day to ponder what I saw last night on the new TLC show, Extreme Couponing, and maybe it will be a big payoff for me.  I don't really know.  All I can do is experiment and see where it gets me.  And of course come home and share it with you.  :)

Exreme Couponing show on TLC

I don't know how many of you out there are aware of this show, but there is a new show on TLC called Extreme Couponing.  I watched the first of two episodes last night, but was turned off by the second episode.  It's just strange that they show us these people who are capable of getting $600 worth of groceries for $6 but they don't show us HOW.  I wish they would show us HOW!!! Either they  need to expand on what these women are doing or something.  I follow several blogs of other women who are coupon clipping and doing similar things to what the people on this show are doing. 

Shop Online Much??

I know that many times there are things we want or need but are not able to find locally. So many times we find ourselves ordering something online, and we get nothing for it.  Well now there is a site we can use to make money when we shop online.  Ebates.com was recently mentioned to me by a friend who lives in an area where there is almost nothing, so she uses this. I just started myself, and wouldn't tell you about it if it wasn't something good.  Buy online, and get a little cash back.  They pay out 4 times a year, so if you use it, it's like having money stashed.  You can also get money for friends who sign up.  So check it out and if you like it, sign up.  (The above link is also the referral link saying I sent you!)

Food For Thought.....

For those of you out there who clip coupons on a regular basis, do you find it difficult to organize your coupons?  For me, even having one of those little "organizers" with the pre-labeled dividers is a hassle.  Coupons fall out, I can't find a coupon fast enough, I get frustrated, and it ends up in a big mess.  And personally I don't feel like there are enough dividers done right.  I have *hopefully* found a solution to this problem, thanks to A Thrifty Mom.  She has an entire page dedicated to her coupon binder (and her coupon 101)!  This may seem a little extreme for some, but for others, who live on very tight budgets and have to deal with a lot of coupons (by choice, of course) this is FOR YOU! And I hope that you find it very helpful.  I am personally jumping in feet first with this coupon binder, and will keep you posted on how things are going with it.
