A Few Quick Deals

Between starting lunch, one screaming little girl, and one demanding two year old I really do not have much time to do a post right now. But, while it is fresh on my mind I will try to do a short one. I took a trip to the local Toys R Us to get the girls some winter clothes with their birthday gift cards and to my surprise I found some really great deals. Right now they have racks full of shoes, access., and clothes all marked down pretty well. On top of the regular clearance price they are giving another 50% off right now! I was able to score A LOT of shoes for the girls. It never fails, my girls always lose one shoe from each pair, so everytime I find a good deal I buy way more than I should. I got my 2 year old 6 pairs of tennis shoes and sneakers for just about $20.00 with taxes! They were just above $3.00 a pair. I got my one year old jeans for $2.50 and shirts for $1.50. They also have great sales going on right now for toys. Certain brands of baby dolls are buy one get one 50% off. They have the complete baby doll set on sale for $15.00. It included the highchair, baby carrier, carseat, and stroller. This is the same price I was going to pay on Black Friday! But, even better yet...that brand of baby doll items was b1g1 50% off. So I got that and 70 piece set of bottles, baby food, diapers, ect. for $20.00 all together! The baby doll set was originally $45.00 alone, so pretty good savings if you ask me. They also have all halloween items on sale 75% off like many other stores. We are going to DisneyLand soon so I stocked up on Disney Princess Costumes, shoes, wands, and crowns. Even if you are not going it is still really cheap costumes for dress up! I was able to get the costume, wand, crown, and shoes all for under ten dollars. Cheap Christmas gifts and hugeeee savings, especially compared to what I would have paid at the park!!!!

The Secrets of the True Clipping Champ

The Secrets Of The True Coupon Clipping Champ

 

This is too simple, easier than you think. I taught myself, so with help there is no reason you can not do it too!
The first key is coupon match ups! Don't spend hours after hours trying to walk through the store rummaging through piles of clipped coupons, let others do the work for you!
So here is how it works....

If you want to shop at Wal-Mart than you would go to Google and type in
Wal-Mart (the store you plan to go to) 11-12-12 (The most recent Sunday's date) Coupon Match up
It will bring up lots of links that will show you all the sales matched with the current coupons to give you the best prices.
I will be posting lots of my own match ups and deals on here as well so make sure you keep your eyes open!

Next, look for stores that double or even triple! When coupon values double it almost impossible to not find good deals and lots of times free deals when the items are on sale

Another very important step is to NOT buy stacks of newspapers. I normally get one paper every Sunday just so I have one of every coupon but even if that paper has the best coupon ever I am not paying $3.00 per paper. The key is to order coupons. Go on Ebay or Coupon Clipping Services websites and order the particular coupons you need. I normally pay $1.00 for 10-20 of the same coupon instead of $3.00 for a paper that has a bunch of coupons I will not even use

There are certain months when certain items go on sale and you should stock up. This is how you get a stockpile. For example, ketchup will not be free every single week. But, around Memorial Day you should be able to score some free or next to free ketchup and since it does not expire quickly, you should clear the shelf and get you years worth. Keep your eyes open, I will be sharing the items to buy in each month soon.

So, putting all the steps together and making a plan...it should go like this
On Sunday google the coupon match ups for your local stores. Find out what deals you want and need. Than go to EBay or coupon clipping services websites and order the coupons you need for those deals. When the coupons arrive, go save some money!

Another trick is some stores let you stack a manufacturer coupon with their store coupon. So at Target you could use a coupon from your local paper and a store coupon for the exact same item. I have scored many extremely cheap diapers this way.

Remember, be patient! Like all new things, it takes time to learn and become an expert. My first few couponing trips were small. At first I got one or two things free but it became an addiction and I would work harder and harder to earn more free items every time I went. I became obsessed with watching the total go up before the coupons and down down down once I handed the coupons over.

Please leave lots of comments with questions so I can help you become an expert couponer!

The Beginning...

Well...
Here it is. My first blog entry. Exciting? A little. Nerve Wracking? A LOT!
Let me start by saying I am who I am and I am very out spoken. I say how I feel and I do not hold things back. With that being said I will be speaking about my life, my ways, my words so I will not be holding anything back. I will be talking about the ups, the downs, and the in betweens.
I am a young mother of three beautiful girls. I have a 7 year old step daughter, a 2 year old, and a 1 year old. Yes, three little girls and not one little boy, yet! Hopefully, very soon though. I am also a military wife to an Army soldier with ten long years and still going strong.
And lastly, I am frugal. I annoy the heck out of my husband daily over my ways of cutting cost and pinching penny after penny. I coupon on a daily basis. I home make as much as possible. And I will never pay full price for anything. Heck, I made our $100,000 wedding happen for about $5,000. I bring home trunk loads of free products all the time and I am always left searching for more.
So, why did I start a blog? What is my purpose? Every day someone is asking me about how I do it. They want to know the ins the outs. They're jealous when they compare there $200.00 grocery bill to my $20.00 grocery bill for a family double in size. So, here it is. Here are my secrets. Here is how I live my penny pinched life.
If you are ready to stop throwing dollars out the door than follow along....
