One of the top ways of saving money is to be organized. Think of how many times you needed toilet paper and ran to the store to pay full price. Just like a boy scout being prepared will save you lots and lots of money. In past post I mentioned going out and buying your wrapping paper, gift bags, bows and Christmas decorations now. I always go back and remember what I used for this past season and what needs to be replaced. I have a box that is full of gift bags, tape, ribbon, cards, and especially gift card holders. Getting them now for 75% off or 90% off will be a huge savings but having them already on hand will also make the holidays less stressful. Don’t rule out getting presents for birthdays at Christmas sales. Yesterday I bought beautiful spa socks and spa cremes in a nice basket(didn’t look holiday at all) for 75% off. I always like to have a supply of little gifts for a nice hostess gift or just someone’s birthday you forgot about.
ShinDigZ is having a $1 sale for personalized banners. I have ordered these in the past and they are high quality. You do have to pay for shipping but think about your child walking up to the house on his/her birthday and see a big banner saying Happy Birthday!

Frugal Column January 8, 2012
I laughed when I watched the new show “2 Broke Girls” last week. The show is about a rich girl whose father is in jail for embezzling people’s money ultimately making her family broke. She is now a waitress trying to make ends meet last week she discovers coupons. At first she is ashamed to be seen using coupons but when she sees how much money she can save she is hooked. When I was growing up there was a stigma that if you used coupons you were poor. Now when shopping you will see many women and men walking around with their coupon binder or coupon folders in their shopping cart. Many of us have come to conclusion that not using coupons is really throwing your money away. My favorite place to find coupons is the Sunday paper but there are other avenues to get more coupons. Different stores have electronic coupons that you can load right on the store’s loyalty card and mobile coupons that load on your smartphone. To load digital coupons on your Kroger Plus card just go to www.kroger.com and register your card then you will be able to click on a coupon which will automatically be deducted from your total at the register when you purchase the qualifying product. There are two more sites that also let you load ecoupons onto your Kroger Plus card they are www.shortcuts.com and www.cellfire.com . I do want you to remember that you cannot use a paper coupon with an electronic coupon and the electronic coupon will be deducted first. One other downfall is an electronic coupon will not double. So load your coupons wisely. RiteAid just introduced their new program called load2card. This allows Rite Aid Wellness plus members to load, manage and redeem digital coupons via their wellness card. Just go to www.riteaid.com and register your wellness card and start adding savings right to your card. Now one of my favorite stores to use mobile coupons is Target. Get deals sent to you twice a month and redeem them at the register right from your phone’s screen. Send HELP to 827438 for information or STOP to 827438 to end. You could receive up to 5 messages per month. Message and data rates may apply. The internet has given us the opportunity to print coupons right from home. If you look at your Sunday paper’s inserts you will see that each insert has a website where you can also print off additional coupons. The inserts we usually get are www.redplum.com and www.smartsource.com. A couple of other websites for coupons are www.coupons.com and www.couponnetwork.com these are reputable coupon sites where you will not get a fraudulent coupon. When printing a coupon off the internet make sure it has a barcode, expiration date, says manufacturer coupon along with little dots in the expiration date box. Remember sometimes if it is too good to be true it probably is a fake. These sites will also only let you print two copies of a coupon. I always tell everyone coupons are everywhere if there is a product that you like go to their website 80% of the time they will offer a coupon for example www.kelloggs.com have many printable coupons available. Now into the next generation of couponing http://SavingStar.ojrq.net/c/21545/17146/758 Saving Star. Saving Star gives you the option of loading your stores loyalty cards for example: CVS Extracare card, Kroger Plus Card and Rite Aid Wellness card and linking ecoupons to your stores cards. When you use your loyalty card and purchase an item that you have loaded an ecoupon for, it will automatically add that coupon amount to your Saving Star account. When you have reached the minimum of $5 you can have that amount sent to a Pay Pal account, Amazon.com gift card, right to your bank, or American Forest.org charity account. You will not see a deduction to your bill. The plus to this is you will be able to use a paper coupon plus use your ecoupon from Saving Star. Come see me at The Fayette Mall on January 13 from 4pm to 8pm and January 14 from 10am to 3pm where I will be demonstrating SC Johnson’s new product All-In-One Cleaning System while giving away free refill samples.

This is going to be a little work but will be worth it for any Kroger shopper. Go to www.kroger.com and click on save more with digital coupons. Add any P&G coupons to your card. Tell 4 friends, and P&G will instantly load an additional $4 to your shopper card. Use this with the mega deal for a huge savings. Remember you cannot use a paper coupon and a digital coupon for the same items and the digital coupon will come off first. Also digital coupons do not double.
Load the $2 Tide coupon, $3 Pantene coupon, $1 Gain coupon and $1 Charmin coupon and it should cover you. I have not tested this yet but it is right on their website so it should work.
I also want to mention about the deal I posted for the Visa Vanilla Gift Card. I think Rite Aid has pulled item from their $20 +UPs reward deal. I would advise not to try it. Sorry. Unfortunately good things do have to come to an end.

Frugal Column January 1, 2012
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average American
family of four spends $8,513 per year on groceries- averages out to $709 per
month. That breaks down to $177 per person a month. Many of us blow our budget
even further on restaurant meals. Let’s start 2012 saving on your groceries
along with personal items. Today’s paper has over $200 worth of coupons making
this a big haul to start cutting coupons. I would love to tell you that you can
save $100 of dollars and it won’t take you any time at all. That is not the
case. When starting your coupon journey you need to be organized. When you spend
time cutting your coupons spend time organizing them in an accordion style file
by categories. Remember everyone’s file is going to be different. I don’t have
any babies so I don’t have a baby category but I do have pets so I have a pet
category. What you need to do is make it easy to find a coupon when you need to.
You will get very frustrated if you know you have a coupon for that product on
sale but can’t find it. Do not assume that you won’t need a coupon when you
enter a store. Bring your coupons with you at all times. You will be very
surprised how many times you go to a store and a manager has marked down an item
because they have too many allowing you with a coupon get that item for free. It
is interesting how many people think that something’s wrong with the product or
the price marked must be wrong because the item can’t be that cheap. Is one
store better than other stores? The store I frequent most doubles my coupons up
to 50 cents every day, I feel that is the best value for my coupons. Remember
using a coupon for an item on sale plus being doubled is an added bonus. Don’t
forget about your local pharmacy stores like CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens for
food, cleaning items and personal products. Using loyalty cards along with other
reward programs combined with coupons can give you huge savings on items. Here
are some ways to use your week’s coupons for high value savings.
Check out some Couponing 101 tips.
1. Most stores will let you use a store coupon along with a
manufacturer coupon for one item.
2. To tell a manufacturer coupon the UPC code will start with the
number 5.
3. Check out your store’s coupon policy. Because of the TLC show
Extreme Couponing most stores have posted their policies on their website along
with printed copies at the customer service desk.
4. Maximize the Buy 1 Get One Free deals. You can typically use 2 coupons for a B1G1 deal. For
example, if Quaker Oatmeal is on sale Buy One at $2.50, Get One Free and you
have 2 $1.00/1 coupons, use 2 coupons. You will get 2 boxes of oatmeal for .50.
5. Check out store that price match.
Walmart and Target will match sale prices from other stores. Also ask your store
if they will use a competitors coupons for example Staples will let you use
coupons from Office Depot or OfficeMax.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the average American
family of four spends $8,513 per year on groceries- averages out to $709 per
month. That breaks down to $177 per person a month. Many of us blow our budget
even further on restaurant meals. Let’s start 2012 saving on your groceries
along with personal items. Today’s paper has over $200 worth of coupons making
this a big haul to start cutting coupons. I would love to tell you that you can
save $100 of dollars and it won’t take you any time at all. That is not the
case. When starting your coupon journey you need to be organized. When you spend
time cutting your coupons spend time organizing them in an accordion style file
by categories. Remember everyone’s file is going to be different. I don’t have
any babies so I don’t have a baby category but I do have pets so I have a pet
category. What you need to do is make it easy to find a coupon when you need to.
You will get very frustrated if you know you have a coupon for that product on
sale but can’t find it. Do not assume that you won’t need a coupon when you
enter a store. Bring your coupons with you at all times. You will be very
surprised how many times you go to a store and a manager has marked down an item
because they have too many allowing you with a coupon get that item for free. It
is interesting how many people think that something’s wrong with the product or
the price marked must be wrong because the item can’t be that cheap. Is one
store better than other stores? The store I frequent most doubles my coupons up
to 50 cents every day, I feel that is the best value for my coupons. Remember
using a coupon for an item on sale plus being doubled is an added bonus. Don’t
forget about your local pharmacy stores like CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens for
food, cleaning items and personal products. Using loyalty cards along with other
reward programs combined with coupons can give you huge savings on items. Here
are some ways to use your week’s coupons for high value savings.
Check out some Couponing 101 tips.
1. Most stores will let you use a store coupon along with a
manufacturer coupon for one item.
2. To tell a manufacturer coupon the UPC code will start with the
number 5.
3. Check out your store’s coupon policy. Because of the TLC show
Extreme Couponing most stores have posted their policies on their website along
with printed copies at the customer service desk.
4. Maximize the Buy 1 Get One Free deals. You can typically use 2 coupons for a B1G1 deal. For
example, if Quaker Oatmeal is on sale Buy One at $2.50, Get One Free and you
have 2 $1.00/1 coupons, use 2 coupons. You will get 2 boxes of oatmeal for .50.
5. Check out store that price match.
Walmart and Target will match sale prices from other stores. Also ask your store
if they will use a competitors coupons for example Staples will let you use
coupons from Office Depot or OfficeMax.

Frugal Column December 25,2011
A friend wrote a letter and said all she wants for Christmas is for all her friends and family to be happy. I wish all my readers which I think of as my friend a happy holiday but true personal happiness. Merry Christmas!
The day is here no more holiday spending. When everyone was opening your gifts did you see the wide eyes of surprise and glee that you expected? At the end of the day did you have a bout of buying remorse? Buyer’s remorse is basically a self-induced, purchase related guilt trip. It is said that you will experience these guilt trips many times in your life. Let’s think back why you purchased the items you did. I am talking about those high ticket items that you were not planning on buying until you walked into the store and saw the display. I know everyone would like to get the biggest and the best but are you really just trying to beat the other gift givers. Many of us believe that when you give something expensive it will make up for any misgivings you have done or said throughout the year. You can stop yourself from ever having buyer’s remorse with a few simple steps.
1. If you are purchasing something for over $100 wait and think about it. Maybe ask a friend or your spouse not for permission but for some advice. They will be honest with you by telling you if you really do need to have it.
2. Research your purchase before you buy it. Assess its benefits, understand what you need and make sure it fits into your budget.
3. Is it an emotionally charged purchase? Ask yourself why you are buying it. Is it because you want to reward yourself or maybe you are having a bad day. If that is the reason put it back it won’t make you feel better the next day.
4. Once again work from a list. This will stop any impulse buying.
I myself have fallen to buyer’s remorse the worst one is the people at the kiosks in the mall. Yes, I bought the hand soap and I can’t tell you why. I have learned from my mistakes but I will return my purchases if I can unfortunately not the hand soap. If you buy the item bring it home and wait a day to open the package or remove any tags. The next day re-look at your purchases to see if you still want them. If you can’t return them you can always re-gift the item. What this means is maybe you don’t really need it but you know of someone whose birthday is coming up that would love it. Be creative and get rid of your guilt items. Once you have decided on your item and made your purchase get out of the store! Don’t look around and don’t spend the next week trying to find a better price. You bought it, did your research and you can feel good about it. Enjoy the fruit of your labors or the gifts that you have given to others. Happy Holidays.
