Coupon Savings Podcast

Last month, I was asked to be a guest speaker for HomeMakers By Choice with founder Donna Otto. I wish my scanner was working so I could show you the picture I got to take with Donna - she's definitely a celebrity in my book! It was such a great opportunity to meet her and I have so much respect for the things she is teaching women. In her own words, "HBC is a great place to make new friends, hear practical teaching and find support, refreshment and encouragement among like-minded women." Who couldn't benefit from something like this every so often. It was such an honor to have Donna ask me to speak about something so near and dear to my heart and I love that I have another chance to share my learnings with you.

There are 2 podcasts available for you to listen to, Coupon Savings 1 and Coupon Savings 2. The first is general ideas for saving money in every aspect of life and the second is more specific to grocery savings.

Here are the links to listen online and/or download the MP3 file to your IPOD.
Coupon Savings 1 (8/24/09)
Coupon Savings 2 (8/25/09)

I pray that you will be encouraged to stretch your dollars further by listening to these tips!

How do I save money with coupons?

In case you missed it, the podcast I recorded for HomeMakers By Choice on Coupon Savings was such a blessing to me and to many others. I strongly suggest you listen to the podcast to get all the information, but if you're not able to do so, here are the main points:

1. It's a lifestyle. Always have a general awareness of current sales/promotions so that when a need comes up, you know where to get the best deals. Know what restaurants offer free kids meals, know what grocery store has milk on sale that week, know what retailer has kids shoes on sale, etc. The more aware you are the more money you'll be able to save on things you need.

2. Use loyalty cards. Most stores have a loyalty card that saves you additional money for participating. Sign up for these as most send coupons and offer special promotions for card holders. My favorite store to offer a loyalty program is CVS. They offer significant savings with their Extra Care Bucks program and the savings here have stretched our budget and allowed us to give so much to Neighborhood Ministries!

3. Stock up when sales are good. I have several cupboards in my house that are dedicated for our stockpile. Things like toilet paper, kleenex, toothpaste, razors, deodorant, shampoo, lotions, etc, are ready when they get used up and I'm able to take full bags to Neighborhood Ministries. Because I have multiple inserts, when an item becomes free or close to it, I'm able to purchase several of that item. By shopping this way, I don't have to pay full price for an item when we run out because I've planned ahead and stocked up. The same applies to groceries but be sure to look at "sell by dates." As the dates draw closer, it's time to take a box to your local shelter!

4. Utilize dining coupons. This is one of my favorite ways to save because the dollars saved add up so quickly! We use Restaurant.com primarily because of the awesome 80% off sales that are offered almost monthly. We also have an Entertainment Book and I keep other dining coupons in my purse so that anytime we need to grab dinner out, I'm prepared with my coupons rather than leaving them on my kitchen counter (although this has happened many times).

5. Know the resources available to save you money. It's amazing to me how many places and websites we can visit to save money on things. Items like oil changes, toiletries, photo prints, groceries, hair cuts, etc, all have coupons that you can find both on-line and in the mail. For example, I always check the junk mail magazines that comes in the mail because I've found great coupons. If we want to go to a particular restaurant and I don't have a coupon for it, I'll do a quick google search for "printable XXX restaurant coupon." Nine times out of ten there is some offer available that will save us money. It's great to know that if I need a coupon for something, chances are with the technology today we can find savings.

There are tons of other tips that I go into more details on the podcast, but I would love to hear what tips you have. Please share them by leaving a comment!

Target Coupon Policy

I've had several questions regarding Target's coupon policy, so I thought I would share it with everyone. Unfortunately Target is one retailer where I have had one too many bad experiences with their cashiers and coupons. Therefore, I avoid the store pretty much at all cost unless the deal is so totally awesome that I couldn't find anyplace else. Most of the time, the cashiers don't even know their own policy and I would rather not waste my time informing them of what their job description entails.

Here is Target's coupon policy (thanks to the Good Deal Gal). I print this out and keep it with my coupons so that when issues arise, I can show them their own policy! These are in my opinion the most important clarifications:
* We accept one manufacturer coupon and one target coupon for the same item.
* We can't give cash back if the coupon is worth more than the item, so we'll adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item.

If you have problems next time you shop at Target, calmly but confidently show them their own policy. If they still won't honor your coupons, ask for a manager to remedy the situation. If that still doesn't work, take your list and coupons to Wally world and maybe someday Target will teach it's cashiers how to honor coupons. Hope this helps!

Use the code PHOTOBOOK.

This is the last day for these deals but there will be another deal next Wednesday - FREE 8x10 Photo Collage. You save $3.99 and choose in-store pick-up to get it truly free!

Free Bandaids at Walgreens

Thanks to Mercedes at Common Sense with Money for this deal:

"If you remember last week there was a Register rewards deal including Band Aid Products: buy two and get a $4 register reward. This is actually a monthly deal. This means you can still get the $4 register reward when you buy two Band Aid Products from now through 8/29. It turns out the character Band Aids are also included in this deal. They are not on sale this week but there’s a coupon in the Walgreens Coloring book for $2 off one. This is how you can get them for better than free after coupons and register reward:

$7.58 when you buy two boxes of Character Band Aids (Dora, Barbie or Sponge Bob)
-$2 when you use two $1/1 manufacturer coupons from 8/2 or 6/28 RP inserts (some areas only got $0.50/1)
-$4 when you use the $2/1 coupon in the Coloring Book (coupon discount gets applied to both items)
=$1.78 plus tax out of pocket and get a $4 Register Reward back.

Lowes Build & Grow Clinic Tomorrow

Last month, we took our daughter to the Lowes Build & Grow Clinic to make her very own treasure chest and we had a great time! These clinics are every other Saturday and tomorrow we get to make a school bus. A fun a free activity for the kids in the nice air conditioned stores! Sign up here to reserve your spot.

Free Portrait at Picture People

When my daughter was born, I was very ambitious and went to the mall each month to have pictures taken of her for the first year. I can almost guarantee that this won't happen with our next children but I'm glad that I was able to capture all the quick changes of her first year.

The only way that I didn't blow our budget on these pictures was by taking advantage of JC Penny's $7.99 Portrait Packages and the free 8 x 10 offers from Picture People. And, I HAD to have enough will-power to not purchase any more than my free photo. Luckily I only broke my rule once and it wasn't a costly purchase, but only you know if you can handle this temptation!

If you can say no to the adorable pictures they flash in front of you, then take this coupon with you to Picture People for a free 8 x 10 or 10 x 13 picture. Beware they will take lots of pictures to tempt you to buy more...but stay strong and remember your budget! This offer is good thru Nov 23, 2009 so lots of time. Think Halloween, fall photo, back to school, etc.

Walgreens Deal: Free Scrapbook Page

Today's deal at Walgreens is a free 8 x 10 scrapbook page. Upload your photos and create your own page and use the code SCRAPIT to get it for free.

Free Chocolate Friday

Don't forget to sign up for your free chocolate tomorrow morning at realchocolate.com. The first 250,000 to register every Friday get a coupon for free chocolate. Limit 4 coupons per family total. We already won our 4 coupons and combined with BOGO sales, we made out with free candy bars.

Walgreens Deal: Free Photo Cling

KidsMealDeals.com

Having a 3 year old that doesn't eat much, we hate dining out and ordering a kids meal of which she eats about 4 bites and that's it. Instead we try to hit restaurants that offer free kids meals with an adult's purchase. I find it difficult to keep track of all the different days that different restaurants offer deals until I found this great website. My cousin made me aware of it and I love having this resource. I've bookmarked it and can easily check it before heading out to dinner!

Checkout kidsmealdeals.com for yourself. Just enter your zip code and there you go! It's not a totally comprehensive list but better than not knowing anything!

Schwann's $10 Free Food

I've never used a home delivery service for food but I've told my husband that when we become millionaires, I'm hiring a live-in chef! That's how much I love to cook (how do you convey sarcasm via email?!?)

This isn't the same but Schwan's Home Food Delivery company is trying to lure more customers by offering $10 in free food to the first 500,000 first time customers! You just have to be in their delivery area. This was released a week ago but I just placed my order this morning and it worked for me. Your item must be $9.99 or less and there are no shipping fees charged! These items are definitely a luxury and much more than I would pay in the grocery store, but I can't pass up free. I'm trying the frozen oatmeal raisin cookies because I love frozen cookie dough and it's always nice to pop a few of these in the oven before friends come over. You've got nothing to lose so place your order before it's gone!

Restaurant.com: 80% off sale

Once again, Restaurant.com is offering 80% off their dining gift certificates! Use the coupon code PORTION to get $10 gift certificates for just $0.60 and $25 gift certificates for just $2.

Don't forget to go thru E-bates to earn $5 plus 15% cash back on your purchase! Don't have an ebates account yet, go hear to find out more!

I can't say enough about how these dining certificates have made our date night budget stretch so much further and we've tried great restaurants that we would have not otherwise tried!
