Some Sweet Deals

Okay, we all the the economy is really crappy right now, and groceries are getting more expensive and we aren't making anymore money... well, I'm not, anyway. And as the mom, it is my job to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our money as much as possible to feed and clothe my children. I was informed the other day of this website www.pinchingyourpennies.com . Please, please, please take the time to go to this website! They teach you all about how to use coupons (I know you think it's not that hard, but trust me, you will learn great things!), where to use them, and (this is the BEST part) they will give you a list of store and their sales and coupons that you can use on top of the sales!!! It is so great!
For example, yesterday I went to Albertsons. They were having a buy 10 items, get $10 off your next purchase deal. So I bought 10 cake mixes, the register kicks out the $10 coupon. You tell the cashier to total that order. Then she rings up another order (10 frostings or whatever) and you use your $10 coupon. PLUS there was a .25 coupon on top of the frosting so it was FREE with my $10 off coupon!!! Hello!
Before you get your coat on and head to Albertson's, that sale ended yesterday, I am sorry to say. But they do update the website with new sales, so keep watching. They also have a news letter you can sign up for (I highly recommend it) with online deals of the day. Yesterday I got an email from them for Diapers.com. If you spend $49 you get free shipping, PLUS if you have never ordered from them before you get $10 off your order, PLUS (I know, I sound like an infomercial) they also give you a $15 mail in rebate!!! Holy crap! I got over 200 diapers for about $25! And you don't have to pay tax! Let me know if you would like me to forward that email to you with all the codes and directions.
I hope this can save you all some monies!! I have already saved over $200... and I just started doing it yesterday! :-)
