Harris Teeter Deals

This week Harris Teeter is tripling up to $.99. Limit of 20 coupons tripled per transaction per day. Of you have coupons that are above a $1, you can use as many as those, there are no limits on how many coupons you use, except for Internet coupons, 2 coupons per item.
If you haven't been to Harris Teeter yet and you have one near you, they have some great deals. Tip from my sis-in-law, the Arboretum Harris Teeter is great for triples! Not alot of people shopping and decent selection, not sold out alot. I guess people in the rich part of town aren't too worried about the economy?:) My guess is the Harris Teeter in South Park would be good too. If you do go to, HT has a great deal this week when you buy 10 participating General Mills products, they take $4 off. I got 9 cans of the small Pillsbury biscuits, they were BOGO, so they were $.79 each, plus I used 3/ $.50 off of 3 cans. Then I panicked and couldn't find anything else that was included in the deal that I had a coupon for. So I got a $1.27 pizza (and don't tell, but I for once I DID NOT USE A COUPON!) But I still came out a head. After coupons and the -$4, they paid me $.07!!! Not bad, but now I need to figure out what on earth to do with 9 things of biscuits!:)

Free Old Spice Sample

If you go to this link you can get a free sample of old spice body wash. http://instoresnow.walmart.com/enhancedrendercontent_ektid67870.aspx Those of you who know me well know I LOVE getting all my free stuff in the mail! As far as giving out information, I have really never had anyone contact me over the phone for something I signed up for. A good rule of thumb is if you have to pay anything (even if it's just shipping) I don't do it, because it really isn't free. Alot of times when you get these free samples, they send coupons. Plus all these little sample sizes are great for traveling!

How to get started with coupons

Coupons 101
How to use coupons sucessfully you might ask? It has taken me some time to figure it out, but once you do, it really is worth all the effort with the amount of money that you can save. Here are a few things that I have learned along the way.
KNOW THE COUPON CODE
In order to get a good deal with a coupon usally sale+coupon= good deal. Try to combine the 2. I have found that using a coupon for an item that's on sale is often cheaper than the store brand.
STAY ORGANIZED
It is so important to know what coupons you have, but it can be hard to keep them in order. For me I try to keep it simple, I don't clip all my coupons, I punch holes in them and put them in a 3 ring binder, then clip when I need them. Some people use a checking folder, an index box ect. find a way that works for you to keep your coupons in order.
COUPONS
This may seem basic, but one question many people ask me is “How do you get all those coupons?” Sunday Paper inserts is one way. You can buy mulitple papers, I do this when the coupons are really good and for items that my family uses regualy. One those weeks I may buy 2 or 3 papers. Ask family and friends who don't use there coupons. Sometimes if you call or email a company and rave about their product, they will send you coupons. There are also coupon clipping services out there and yes they even sell coupons on Ebay! (if you do buy from ebay, just make sure you buy from your region, trust me South Dakota does not have the same brands that they sell in North Carolia, can you tell I learned that the hard way?)
PLAN AHEAD
Know what store has what on sale and have a list, I have found that if I go into a store prepared, it really cuts back on time, which is real important to me.
BE FLEXIBILE
Be willing to try a different brand! If you are open to other brands, there are more deals out there for you. As always, don't buy something that you know you won't use just becase you have a coupon.
LEARN TO STOCKPILE
When there is a great deal and you have coupons to get mulitible items, stock up. While stock piling, take into consideration how much you use and what kind of space you have to store things. For example, if cearl is on sale, and with your coupon it is $0.20 a box, don't get 20 if your family only goes through 1 a week! But if you go through 5 or 6 boxes, it not such a bad idea, if you have the space. A lot of times shopping this way holds me over to the next sale.
REWARD CARDS
Reward cards are great and almost everyone has some form of them, whether it's a Harris Teeter card or CVS. Some stores will reward you with in store gift cards if you buy certain items. Target does this, Walgreens ect. Or they will give you some kind of store credit, like CVS. If done correctly, you can roll these over to you next purchace.
KNOW THE FINE PRINT
Make sure you know what the coupon says in the little print that no one looks at! I cannot tell you how many times I bought something only to find out at check out, that the coupon said for 2 and I only bought one. Check if it specifies size. I always go for the smallest allowed to make for less per ounce. Remember if they don't take your coupon and it is not a good deal, you don't have to get it.
DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL
Don't stress out over trying to plan your shopping trip. Use different recouses that are alreay out there. There are many free web sites that post a shopping list each week and tell what is on sale and you coupon to match it with. That is why I don't clip my coupons, I just lable what week they came out. I print my list, find my coupons in my binder, put in an envople pocket for that store and off I go.
TRY TO HAVE FUN
It may be stressful at first, but you will figure it out, try to enjoy it and make the most of it. Just think if you get a lot of tolitrie items for cheap or free, try blessing someone in need or give to a shelter. Clipping coupons has allowed me to same my family lots of money and still help other people at the same time, to me that is a win win situation.

Free Thomas the Train!

Go here http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/coupon/927219.pdf?EDID=AV6GYK-3OSZO-84YDL6-1870P9-THM6N-v1 To print your coupon, for a free Thomas, Good March 21-22 at Toys R Us stores. We went this morning on our way to my coupon class, and Sammy was Trilled! There are 4 different ones to chose from and we have Thomas and Percy, so I thought we could get a new one, but no my son HAD to have another "Percy" because this one has lights and makes sounds! So cool when you are 2! The train was $17.99 and we did not have to buy anything. Great for me since Sammy is so into the Thomas stuff, but it is expensive! So this was my deal of the week, when the 2 year old is happy, so is mommy!

We have gone in with these coupons before, my husband takes one and orders, and then I order and we eat for real cheap for a fun night out.

E.L.F. Makeup deal!

Do you need a great deal on makeup? Check this out! Yesterday my Mother-in-law sent me a code for E.L.F. which stands for eye lips and face, and they have cheap makeup, plus with the promo code and going through Cashbaq, it made the deal even sweeter.

Here is how to make the deal work for you, go and sign up for cashbaq, which is similar to ebates, but from what I see the rewards seem to be a little better. http://www.cashbaq.com/?refer=461299 If you don't want to sight up right now, that's fine too, just go straight to http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ They have several different promos going on

Spend $15 or more and get $7.50 off code is CAROLINA

Spend $20 or more and get free $25 gift card from restaurant.com and Fandango.com movie ticket code DINE

Spend $25 and get $2 shipping code 2SHIP

I tried to use a few and that didn't work, so I settled for using the $7.50 off code. At first it took the DINE code, because my order was $20, but later when I put in the CAROLINA code, the DINE disappeared. It may work if after your discount if your total is still over $20. But since restaurant.com gift cards are so cheap anyway, ( a $25 goes on sale for $1.50 through Cashbaq) I passed.

I am excited about getting my cheap make up though. I took advantage and bought some birthday gifts while I was at it. They have alot of makeup items for only a $1 each! So when all the promo codes and shipping was done, I got everything for $19, plus whatever I earn from cashbaq. Not bad for getting 2 gifts and new make up for myself!

Hurry I don't know how long the codes are good for.

Couponing 101

Last weekend I had my first couponing 101 class at my house. I have a bunch of my girlfriends over and I gave the scoop on how to get started on couponing. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and wanted more! I was afraid that I overwhelmed everyone because I use coupons for EVERYTHING and did what them to feel like they had to do that to, this has taken me a while to get here.
So this is what I am going to do, I am doing a coupon class at my home (in the Concord/Kannapolis NC area) the first Saturday of every month at 1:30. Each month I will cover a different topic. For April, I will cover how to "play the CVS game" all the ins and outs for cvs and how to shop there for pennies or dimes :) using their reward system. The class is free, bring a friend if you want, just let me know in advance. Thanks!

We are almost Debt free! Still getting there, but sure getting close! At the end of February, we paid off our second to the last debt. It felt SOOO Good to make a check out for $1200 and be done with that debt FOREVER! Now we are on to our last debt, our mini van.
We took Dave Ramsey's class at out Church this past fall. Since Sept 2008, we have managed to pay off half of the debt that we had, $14000. For us, who never had money before, or a savings and lived pay check to pay check, this is huge! It has been such a blessing to know that yes even us, who don't make much can live on even less and set goals!
We have learned to live on yes even less and be good stewards of what God has given us.
