How We are doing Christmas this Year

I know I know its getting close to "that" time of year again, but I have to admit that I personally LOVE this time of year! My mom taught us right though, its not about the gifts or the money, but the time together and the love of one another... Its the time of year that you should all be there for one another no matter what. If you think about the great things this time of year gives us, it truly is FULL of Blessings!
So I'm going to give you all the tips that I have been blessed with to be able to give to my family and friends for very little money.

~Don't make a limit of how much money you spend on someone, I feel like when you do that, a few things can happen, You can spend $20 and do all the sales and such, and over whelm someone with how much you got for them and then they feel bad, (I do believe you can go overboard.)
You can just buy a $20 gift set and there isn't any personal feeling behind that.

~If its free and you know someone who can use it give it to them. It doesn't mean you're cheap, it actually means you're thoughtful, and its not like you should give someone something and tell them what you spent on it.

~If you find an amazing deal on something even though its not in season, that's OK..... they will use it eventually.

~Using stuff from your couponing.... I love this! Say you found a bunch of stuff that you got for free or very cheap cause you thought you could use it all and now you don't know what to do with it.... You can make up a cute gift basket, or donate it to whatever charity you like. One thing I'm doing is making up make-up bags for some of the girls in my family! SHHHH!

~ My daughter LOVES Clifford the Big Red Dog! They have the books and the plush toys at KOHL'S for $5 each, not sure about the books though, but I'm pretty sure they are too. Anyways, the money from those go to charity too! That's one of my favorite gifts.

~Another thing I use is Swag bucks, Ive got some pretty awesome toys for my daughter by using them!
Here is the deal with them
Sign up here and you get some free starter points. Once you get enough points you can get a $5 amazon gift card, even if you only get 5 that's $25 you didn't have that you can spend on amazon.com.
But you don't have to just get an amazon gift card you can get a paypal gift card.... those are just two of a bunch of things you can get.
I'm ALWAYS posting deals one here, these are just a few of the things that I do to save us money, and all we have spent so far out of pocket is $80. I have 5 people checked off my list no wait 7 people checked off my list! I'm so excited! I hope you all are too! Good luck Buddies!
And may you all be blessed this holiday season! :)

Time Change!!!!!

Hey everyone its THAT time of year again, as much as we don't like it we have to change out clocks back! This time of year always reminds me of hibernating bears. Lol! I don't know why, however if you think about it, it seems as though we do sleep more, because of the change. I must say though, I sleep less, I always hate this time change stuff... why can't we be more like, oh I don't know, Arizona when it comes to this stuff, and does it really help with farming NOW a days compared to previous years. If someone could answer these questions that would be great! Lol! Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight.... until spring buddies!

My Memories Software Giveaway

I'm so very pleased to announce our very first giveaway! I'm really so excited about it! You all will LOVE it!

This is for all our buddies who LOVE photos, video, scrapbooking, crafting. Our buddies who want to try something new, or even our buddies who are already Christmas shopping and are having a hard time finding something for that special someone. Either way I know you will love it.

I have to say I always wanted to give traditional scrapbooking a try but never had time, space, money, and I really didn't want to clean up the mess from it.... plus with little ones around you don't want to risk them putting something in their mouth that you lost. This truly is ideal! As I'm writing this I keep coming up with more reasons to have it! I really LOVE this digital scrapbooking software.

Here is something that I made using My Memories Suite.

I love it! Its so cute! You can have them printed at home, outside of your home, bound in a book.... I can keep going with how much I love this, and all you can do!

Keep looking back I will probably keep adding pictures to this cause I'm totally in LOVE!
Plus you can re enter everyday just by sharing with your friends to enter this giveaway too!

Also if you like My Memories Suite on facebook and help them reach 10,000 fans you will automatically be entered into another giveaway for an ipad! Yay! So really you get two chances to win something! Here is what you got to do....

So much for planning....

So I'm sure some of you have noticed I have been gone for a while, to which I am sorry. I have to say though that I wasn't planning on my computer breaking.... :( but I suppose its up and running again. Its not as it once was but hey its working and I'm really hopeful that it will last us a couple more months.

So I wanted to continue with the "planning" part of life. As most of us know, once there are kids in the picture nothing seems to go as planned. I know I sometimes wish I was like Elasta Girl from the Incredibles(its a Disney movie if you haven't seen it) so when I'm in line at the Grocery store, and my daughter has to go potty, I can stand there at the check out and take her to the restroom. That would be awesome!
OK sorry to get sidetracked. But when we were at the store the other day, I couldn't help but notice that people are clearing shelves of product! Really!? Clearing a whole shelf! Do we really need to clear a whole shelf of a product! This ISN'T extreme couponing! So this is what I wanted to talk about....
Would you go to someones house and take everything they had just because you could get it for cheap or even free..... NO! If you said yes you're lying, because you wouldn't go to your grandma's and steal from her.
Now I know that you are thinking well I use coupons and the store gets the money back so that's not stealing. You're right, but do you really NEED 80 boxes of pasta! No, you don't! its just that simple..... think about it like this, leave some for other people..... because not everyone coupons, some people don't need to at all, and what if it was little Sally's birthday and she really wanted mommy's pasta, but there wasn't any at the store. If that was you, you would be really upset. Or that was all some one was able to afford for dinner till tomorrows payday, we have all been there at one point or another, so please think of other people when you shop. Thank you! :)
PS
There will always be a bigger and better deal out there.
Happy Couponing Everyone! :)

Kohl's Cash and Gift Cards

Have you ever received any Kohl's $10 gifts (a free gift card worth $10) in the mail? I never have until recently. Well let me tell you, a few weeks ago I got one in the mail, and it really is like getting $10 for free in the mail.... you just have to pay tax! Who wouldn't take that?
So I got to thinking, Christmas is coming in just a few month, why not get a few things there with it. And if you think that you cant buy much for $10 at Kohl's you truly can, last time I got one of these I bought my daughter 3 shirts and a Barbie, for a total of $13. I only spent $3 out of pocket. I was going to put the one shirt back, but it was $2.80 it was such a good deal I really couldn't pass it up!
But in case you didn't get one use this link to sign up for their email and you can get a $5 off your next purchase..... here it is       http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/registration/sale_alert_signup.jsp
Happy Kohl's shopping everyone!

Bailey's Coffee Creamer

If you are a coffee lover like me and love creamer too, this is a great deal. Giant Eagle had coupons in their stores for $1 off 2 Bailey's Coffee Creamers.... I have been waiting for them to go on sale, and finally they have so here is the deal
Giant Eagle has them on sale this week 3 for $5
You only have to buy 2, and at a 1.66 each we can't argue with that
so $3.32 for 2 minus the $1 off of 2 coupon
is $2.32 for 2
not so bad for creamer.
I'll keep looking for printable coupons out there. This sale starts Thursday.

Giant Eagle deal starting the 9/15

Weight Watchers Smart Ones 10/$20
$4 off instantly at register
and then if you held onto the $3 off 10 coupon from 2 weeks ago your final price would be
10/$13
but that's OK if you didn't because here is a printable that Giant Eagle WILL take.
http://www.eatyourbest.com/coupon/ print 2 and you will get
10 for $14
still not a bad deal.

My Very First Post!

I'm really so excited about this. Let me first introduce myself, I'm LaRaye! And I'm really excited to be blogging about one of my very favorite topics! I hope I can help everyone who reads this blog. My target area is for Youngstown, Ohio. I think that we need something positive and uplifting in this area. I'm not leaving anyone out though all are welcome. I just personally noticed there weren't couponing blogs in this area, I do have a couponing group on Facebook, called couponing buddies, all are welcomed to join. I hope all that read this will find great use of it.
A few things I will post about....
Freebies, Giant Eagle match ups, Marc's match ups, links, basically I want everyone out there that needs to save money to get the biggest bang for their buck! Please if you have a question or suggestion email me.
