I am pround of my little bloggity blog; I haven't posted here in quite a while but love coming here to re-focus.   I believe it is important to prepare, think ahead, save money, stock up and get a food supply going especially in this shaky economy. (What will you do if Gas goes to $10 a gallon, or if food prices inflate more? Or if you or your spouse lose a job? Or if your friends or family do?

Check out these daily deals - huge discounts on the coolest stuff: I love all of these sites; 50% off and more on things to do, hotels; restaurants, you can buy these as gifts etc and eat at all sorts of new and favorite restaurants around your town. Most of the time you buy the certificate and print it immediately - Citideals mails your certificates to you for $.99 - Some examples of 50% off

Go Deal Go   is a great new website that has a deal a day at 50% or more off a different place every day! My favorites have been Nielsen's ftozen custard and Cutler's sandwiches and cookies!. You can usually buy as many certificates as you'd like, usually you buy a $5 a certificate worth $10, buy as many as you'd like. These don't work like cash so you must use all of the certificate at once.

Here's a "Saving Sanity" tip from me; this is how we organize and prioritize our time and around here....Our good friends Matt and Teri told us about this concept of organization some companies use for their project management..... and they adapted it to household management...brilliant!!The concept is that if you know what needs to be done, write it down, prioritize it, and break it down by time

I did it!!A couple of posts ago I challenged myself to go a month without grocery shopping, and I made it!. With all of my accumulated food storage from this couponing experience we had PLENTY of supplies in my cupboards, we used Rosehill Dairy for milk, bread, and eggs; and we didn't miss much but the fresh fruit, which was provided by my mom once in while, and CJ (bless you!) when he was here.

Target is sending us even more savings with a new reusable shopping bag credit! Receive savings of $0.05 for each bag you use! Bags must be reusable bags (not plastic) but do not need to be Target brand. Wish I could’ve done this the other week when I bough 40 boxes of cereal for $0.38 each! I could’ve saved a bunch more with all the bags I would’ve filled! Thanks MorethanCents!

I've been prepping my pantry and food storage for emergencies, and "emergency" need #1 will be October. Budgets are tight this month. I am challenging myself to keep a budget of $15 per week for groceries! Follow me as I see how much $15 can buy when you are a coupon nut!Some bloggers have done this in the past, and some SAHMom's do this all the time to be able to stay at home with their kids...

Albertsons has a great deal on Campbell's Tomato or Chicken Noodle Soup. If you buy $15 worth of Campbell's or Pepperidge Farm products from 9/11/09 - 9/26/09, you will earn a $5 Catalina, good for your next order. I bought 30 cans of soup for $15 and got $5 back, making them 3/$1. But! Here's the math with the coupons that came out from yesterday, doublers and the Catalina:Campbell's Chicken

Had a couple of killer trips these last few days at Walgreens, Albertson's and Target, then Red Robin! I usually don't go to so many stores but I had errands to run and needed things from each store, so I decided to see what I could get as far as deals go as well.....Here's the Walgreens finds:I found a TON of candy marked down, bags for 1.19, King Size Hershey for .25, Wrigley’s gum and Rice

I had a great time at Smith's with this sale and recruited Hubby's help with the dual shopping carts for this baby. And now I'm good and stocked up on some items I was worried about. Can you believe I worry about not having enough of something like canned chicken? Seriously who is this person I've become???Ah, well! Necessity is the mother of invention I suppose.This is truly food storage at it's

I like to buy them for myself and I'm not in school.....when I was in elementary though, I loved getting my own pencil box with everything to go inside on the first day of school. I organized and re-organized those items and loved the bright colors, may be because I love art, but I think I may have an unhealthy relationship with

Guest post from Angela at The Coupon ProjectWhen I first realized I could be saving a lot of money by matching coupons up with store sales and promotions, I got excited. I mean REALLY excited. I sent countless emails to friends with my finds. I “scouted out” the local Kmart a couple weeks before the rumored double coupon event to strategize. I’d fall asleep piecing together Walgreens scenarios in

The Buy Ahead Principle:From Money Saving MomOne of my biggest grocery saving secretsAllison left the following comment on my picture of this week's $30 shopping trip:"I've enjoyed reading this blog the past month or so since I've discovered it, and you've really helped me snag some good deals. And I think it's neat when you come home from the store with a pile of groceries for only a few

Why use coupons? Well.....TO SAVE MONEY! (Duh!?) Why else would we bother right? Why DO this crazy time consuming thing?? Why buy into this lovely new verb called "couponing?" If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, or you do and you're just learning, hang in there..... trust me, I wouldn't bother if I were just saving a few bucks. I'm going to show you how I save 50-75% off my

This is your new mission, you can't move too much further forward unless you have these baby's so start collecting!(Confession: I consider couponing my hobby on certain days, and my part time work-at-home job on others, - I tell myself; "C'mon you're making like $50 an hour here - keep it up girl!")How to collect coupons and sales ads:Grocery store/other store "mailers" - You know the ones you

Couponing Blogs - Use Them to save Sanity! - I have added some more links to the left here with some more GREAT couponing blogs. Some are from around here which helps, others are around the country so some things they offer don't apply because they don't have stores we do, but the Internet is universal so that isn't a big deal. These gals give you: Crazy Alert - These ARE the crazies Tons of

Once you have your coupons you'll need a spot in your house for organization. You'll need to spread out!There are two methods for organizing your coupons that I know of, there's the 3 ring binder method (shown in this link from Krazy) using baseball card holders for coupons....which I am not opposed to and may eventually have to go to some day soon..... I'll give you the pros and con's later,

I rely on a lot of these couponer blogs to the left to show me the best deals at the best stores. I use Pinching Your Pennies' PYP Weekly Shopping List from there you'll be linked to your favorite store's list from Grocerysmarts.com. You can see the sale dates, what items are on sale, and how great a deal that price really is (compared to that person's past deals or past experience with other
