Couponing Tip of the Day

Here is the new tip of the day. Always, make a list.... and start shopping ONLY from the list. Even if its just 2 things. And do the math before you get to the store, that way you have an idea of how much you're going to spend. The key to success is to have a plan, ALWAYS have a plan.

We have been trying something new to try to save some money for a rainy day. Whenever we go to the store and we save a bunch we have been trying to take 10% of our savings and put it in our rainy day fund.... so if I save say $70 I take $7 and put it away. It may not sound like much but it helps out tons.

Think about it this way, the dollar store charges $1 for everything, you can walk out of there with a hand full of wash cloths for $5 or wait for them to go on sale at Target for a quarter. Companies depend on people to say oh its only a dollar.... or it only went up 5 cents.... bottom line it adds up fast. REALLY FAST. Say I save $7 a week every week for a year.... well here is the math....

 $7 a week
x 4 weeks in a month
 $28 a month

or

 $7 a week
x 52 weeks a year
$364
 That covers my Internet for the year and then some!

Couponing tip of the day

So I'm going to start a new posting (I'm going to try) "Couponing Tip of the Day". I'm going to try and cover all of my bases here, whether you are a newbie or been doing this for some time, I hope that everyone can learn a little something new. So here is tip #1

Just because you have a coupon for something doesn't mean you have to use it... Don't ever feel bad about not being able to use a coupon... We all get coupons that we just won't ever use. However, see if someone else can. There are tons of people out there who could use your lets say diaper coupon. I don't need them so I try to pass them along to someone who can use them.

The other part of this is only use the coupon when you absolutely NEED something IF its not on sale. The BEST way to save money is to WAIT till its on sale. Say I needed toothpaste, and it wasn't on sale but I had a coupon and couldn't wait for 2 days till it was on sale, then I would buy it. But if I had half a tube of toothpaste and knew it was going to be on sale in 2 days, I would wait. This is how you save money.

Oh I guess you got two tips for one tonight. LOL!

I hope that I'm able to help you with all of your couponing needs. Please feel free to contact me via the "contact me" tab on the upper left side, or like us on facebook, or follow us on twitter. And let your friends know about us too. Happy Couponing everyone! :)

Jcpenney 2.1.12

So I've been doing some research about this and its driving me crazy. They re revamping their sales policies.... In a nutshell they are lowering the prices permanently. Along with that they will have more sales on the 1st friday and 3rd friday of every month. Because that's when most people get paid. And they will pick certain items to be on sale for the whole month. This gives shoppers more chances to save money. They also plan on having little shops inside... But they haven't said what or when that will be happening. Sounds pretty awesome for the most part.

Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
