Frugal Friday

Do you use dryer sheets? If so, then conserve them. When you buy a box of dryer sheets cut each sheet in half. Then check each sheet as it comes out of the dryer to see if you can reuse it a second time. this way you will get double or triple the bang for your buck.

For tips like this and many more go here.

P.S. remember that today is free chocolate friday. Just go to http://realchocolate.com to register for your free coupon. (I got my first coupon in the mail this week, I have two more on the way).

*Fru*gal* Friday

I hope today finds you well and you have been able to take advantage of the great grocery deals this week.

1st up: On Saturday May 23 (tomorrow) at Old Navy all off their flip flops are $1/pair!!!!! I would recommend getting there early because I am sure that they are going to go fast!

2nd: There have been several request on how to do couponing. So, just for you, here is the information that was given at the Stake Enrichment Boot Camp in January. (Courtesy of the Bargain Babes ; ) If you need to come back to this, just select the coupon 101 tab on the right. And, if you have any questions, call or email me.

Intro to using coupons
1.Accumulate coupons. You can do this by subscribing to the Sunday newspaper. There are three types of inserts that come in the Sunday paper; SmartSource, Red Plum, and Procter & Gamble (P&G). Red Plum also comes in the mail with the grocery ads. There are also many printable coupons; most allow you to print two coupons per computer. It is recommended you get one newspaper subscription per person in your home. You can also trade coupons with friends and through online coupon trading forums.

2.Organize your coupons. Find the best way for you. Keep them in order by date of the Sunday paper they come in. Do not clip them. Keep them filed until there is a great sale to match the coupon. Then clip it and take it with you to the store. This saves a lot of extra, unnecessary clipping and saving cut coupons.

3.Wait until a sale comes along to match the coupons you want to use. Use your favorite website that will do the work of matching coupons to sales.

4.The reason you want multiple coupons is so you can stock up. You can use one coupon per item purchased. So, for example, if razors are free and you have four coupons, you can get four razors absolutely free! This will carry you until the next sale when they are free again.

5.The coupons do not generally expire for up to five months. Every month you can check your oldest coupons to see if they have expired and throw them away.
When getting started, be patient, it will take a little time to build up your supply of coupons. You will have a large supply of not only food, but also toiletries, cleaning supplies and more in a just a matter of months. All on the same budget you currently shop with.

6.The websites usually rate the deals. When you see a five star deal, it is a great time to stock up. You will learn what the lowest prices are to pay for certain items in no time. Stock up as much as you can to last until the next sale. Soon you will be stocked up on all sorts of items you use and won’t have to pay full price for them and will soon have food storage of items you use.

8.There are many other ways to save at the store including rebates, and Catalinas (coupons that print at the register after you pay). Pay attention to the websites and you will learn about deals you never imagined.

9.To get the maximum savings, you can not be loyal to one brand or store. You need to be willing to try new products and brands.

Free money saving websites

The following are a few websites that are absolutely free that do a lot of the work for you. They will match coupons to store sales. All you have to do is keep your coupons organized, clip them and make your shopping list according to your needs. Many of them have blogs and forums where users can add their own finds and tips.

Old Navy Coupon

Old Navy: Free $5 coupon per child
Old Navy currently has an in-store deal running where you can pick up a Valentine card at your local store (one per child) and if your child colors it and brings it back by Saturday (February 14, 2009), you'll get a $5 coupon (per Valentine colored) off any purchase.
The $5 coupon can only be used on Valentine's Day, but this could be a great deal for those of you with a few children or more!

The Jordan Landing store is participating! You can have each child color one valentine, but you can only use one coupon per transaction, and like it says, you can only use it this Saturday.
