Some stuff I do is: only grocery shop 2x a month, go to yard sales/goodwill if I need something for Todd before going to a store, RELISH hand-me-downs, and NEVER EVER buy wrapping paper/cards/recipe books - make them instead!!Bonnie Blakeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502354954353947976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30219173.post-28903730211287543272008-06-02T08:22:00.000-04:002008-06-02T08:22:00.000-04:00Anne, I know I am repeating everyone else, but thi...Anne, <BR/>I know I am repeating everyone else, but this was a great post! <BR/>Have you ever tried shopping at CVS and at Walgreens using their rebates programs/card cash programs. That saved us a lot up north, but now that those stores are further away and gas is higher . . . but I digress. <BR/><BR/>It helps us out a lot that I can do some freelance writing and editing from home. I can choose my own hours and projects, and the work is portable. I often work at the park, at play places, and in the evening or early morning when the boys are in bed. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for all the good ideas. One question that I am really curious about: where do you all find your coupons? Do you buy a Sunday paper? Do you buy them online? <BR/><BR/>Also, any good ideas for keeping coupons in order? I know it sounds silly, but I really believe that I could be a better steward of what God has given to us if I began to use coupons when I shop at places besides Aldis.Future of Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386068642879360698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30219173.post-18869583130743987252008-05-26T09:50:00.000-04:002008-05-26T09:50:00.000-04:00like stephanie said-- good post! I think everyone ...like stephanie said-- good post! I think everyone does alot of number crunching in this current economy- huh? I am always amazed when Im in line at the store and I see some one dish out $200 for what i know could be bought at $60-70 with coupons!!! It takes along time at the checkout but I had one guy say "you saved over 50 percent using those coupons-wow!" It's always extra sweet to use coupons on a B1G1 deal!<BR/><BR/>when I shop online I shop through ebates-- it helps by giving me some cash back... I also love store cards like vistorias secret angel card-lotsa free panties!Momto5 RachelJoy Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108929304137785669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30219173.post-4228454857954052772008-05-24T17:31:00.000-04:002008-05-24T17:31:00.000-04:00Great post!

I also take advantage of rebates--it is especially fun to combine coupons with items that will be free after rebate! I have also done some free trials where they have given me gift cards for gas or Lowes or sent me checks to use towards groceries and other bills just for trying their service for a month. I have made money using Riteaids and Walgreens rebate programs--saving money just gives me a thrill! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13811342913456132267noreply@blogger.com
