I've had lots of emails asking me how I've been able to get the "deals" I mentioned below. I learned everything from this blog.
Read her link titled "Couponing 101" and then read under "Store Guides" about specific stores. She posts "deals" several times a day in the body of her blog, too.
Basically, start getting your Sunday paper and cutting coupons. Organize them in a way that works for you (I'm using a binder now with baseball card storage sheets). Learn the money saving programs at Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens - they are pretty great! Check out the printable, online coupons (coupons.com) - there are more links on the blog mentioned above for online coupons.
The savings are not limited to the drug stores either. I've gotten some $50 magazine subscriptions for free or as little as $5 for a year. I got a Leapfrog Tag Junior system for $8.99 at Target. I've gotten some nice board games at Toys R Us for very little. So, get saving!
Email me with your questions - this has been a fun little "hobby" for me - when I'm not feeding, playing with or changing JP. It's a way to use my brain since quitting work! I'm excited for my friends to learn, too!

PS - I can't "comment" back to anyone's comments below for some reason...maybe it's my MAC or maybe it's Firefox. So, Kari, shoot me an email if you wanna know anymore about this! ;)
PSS - Someone asked me "Nicci, what are you going to do with all those deodorants?!" hahaha. I thought once I get my stash built up, I'll make a nice donation to a local women's shelter or some charity that could use some toiletries :) If they are free, I might as well, right?!
PSSS - I'm watching TV while I'm typing this and there's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on...uhhh, is it me or is this ridiculous?
Thanks Nicci!! Lauren forwarded your email and I'm reading her blog right now. Hopefully it starts to make sense soon :)
ReplyDeleteDon't get discouraged - it's a little overwhelming at first, but you'll catch on. Just start with simple :)
