Alot of big things today!
I really didnt want to have to post a few times today but this first thing is BIG!
Going to tease a sec and give you an example
Everyone uses razors and as everyone knows they can get costly for the good ones.
Would you believe I baught a Schick Hyro Mans razor which normally sells for 11.50 in most stores for 2.99!
I found a site where there is some things I know people normally use and things I never seen people uses. Including Dell computers! But read here before you scroll down go clicking to check it out.
The best thing about this site is if the past deals arent sold out you can still buy them! There is Dell computers for 199$ and all brand new!
Before u go run off and see something you like and or need make sure to price them first, what you would normally pay for it and then see what its like on the site
http://www.dailysteals.com/
Enjoy!
Also here is 2 other REALLY good sites you shouldnt pass by
http://www.cellfire.com/ < with this one all you do is sign up and you can add the coupons to your shoppers cards instead of printing them out! No joke this will upload the coupons right to your card and you get all the savings at the end! It does very on your location which shoppers cards you can do this too till it gets bigger.
http://www.couponsherpa.com/ another really really good coupon site it doesnt just have groceries it has things like macys and such. U just pick the catagories u want to look threw.

Saving Money in this day and age!
Please dont mind my grammer or my spelling. I am tring to get this started in a quick min for a few people and frankly scarlet I dont give a hoot bout spelling and grammer. lol.
Ok with the money in gas raising and us not seeing a end to the high prices even though promises are made I felt like I was getting the crappy end of the stick! You know all these people are making money off of you even with the day to day things that we cant live without! Well guess what they can kiss my big ol booty. I have found alot of ways of saving money and I am not ashamed of using them cause case in point I just went 2 nights ago and got a top end line bran new computer with money I have saved (and a bit of warenty).
Just do these little things and believe you me you will see a HUGE difference!
Sign up for every store club card you shop at that has one! You get little perks and thank you things along the way besides saving money. Some stores you will recieve a coupon for like 20$ off your next shopping trip and things like that.
Step 2 use reuseable bags.... Some stores pay you (take money off your bill) if you bring them. *NOTE YOU HAVE TO ASK THE STORE AT CHECKOUT OR BEFORE HAND IF THEY DO! If you dont ask they wont take off!
Step 3 COUPONS! No I am not kidding about this. Find out which stores near you doubles coupons! Example and I did this last night at my store to triple check it works. I had a coupon for .50$ off a bar of Irish Spring soap (well I printed up 20 lol so I got 20 bars) anyway my store has them on sale for .88$ each AND my store doubles coupons so I just got 1.00$ total and yes it even still took off the other .12$ off my bill! So in all I made money off of it! Also some stores let you combine coupons! I had a coupon (really I printed up a few of them hey having 4 kids I go threw alot of cereal) anyway I had a coupon for 1.00$ off 3 box's of this certain ceral which were on sale for 3 for 5$ and another coupon for .75$ off one of those box's and since my store doubles coupons that is a savings of 3.49$ off the 5$ (my store only does .99$ coupons so anything over a dollar it will just do .99 off). So please you let me know how you spend 1.51$ for 3 huge box's of cereal that your kids love... lol! I am telling you this works. At first your only going to see a little bit of a difference but once you get the hang of it you will see it bigger! You would be amazed at the money I am saving! I will post a couple of the coupon sites I go to and print up below. Also dont be afraid to say to friends or families, hey do u get coupons u dont use in the mail if u dont use them give them to me I could always use them.
NOW WITH COUPONS I AM GOING TO SAY THIS... I NEVER NEVER EVER Pay for those sites to send me coupons already clipped! I am sorry but I dont see a need in paying people to print up coupons and clip them for me for the fees they are charging when I can do it myself for free! Me and my kids make games out of it on the nights we clip together. Its wonderful time to spend with them cause we talk, joke, laugh, and someone always ends up playing around and singing. Why pay someone when your just getting into it when you can do it yourself and spend family time together? The whole point is saving money! My kids look forward to us doing it because I tell them at the end of the week with the money we save we will go out to a nice dinner or get a couple new video games. Trust me a family of 6 on 1 income can be a toll on your pocket!
Also I do believe Giant in MD does double coupons and for those of you who shop there with your shoppers card you also get discounts on gas! I have had a friend who goes there and shops and ends up getting like .30$ off a gallon each month. So dont forget to look into that stuff too. Your really saving money there!
Phone Apps!!!! I can not express this enough! There are Phone Apps for coupons! And they arent like the cheap places to go. I have this one app on my phone thats free and it has a coupon for 35% off my entire dinner table bill at TGI Fridays! Its not just grocery stores you can save at! You can get clothes and everything. Example that I did over the weekend: I hate really the cutting part of the coupons my big adult fingers in those tiny little scissors so I went into my phone app and printed a coupon for 75% off my next check out at A. C. Moore and went and baught one of those paper cutters. I only paid 2.49$ for it thanks to the coupon. And now I am cutting like 5 sheets of coupons at a time.
Also I dont know how many times this has happened to me but the last time about 2 months ago I snapped. I wont say which soda company it was but those of you who really know me can pretty much guess which since I only drink one kind of soda. Anyway lets say you buy a product and some how something isnt right its damaged but its a food product and your grocery store wont take it back for whatever reason or lets even say it does take it back. WRITE THE COMPANY! This also goes in point for just a product you love it doesnt have to be anything wrong. 9 times out of 10 the company will mail you amazing coupons off their products. I had gotten a couple cases of soda this last winter and 8 times the cases popped open and sodas went every where alot of them busted open and dented and were unuseable. I dont know if the box's got wet or what. Anyway I wrote a letter (email) to the company explained what happened and how disappointed I was and put all of my information with the email. 2 weeks later in the mail I got a letter from them with coupons totalling 80$ off their sodas (it was a bunch of coupons). This also happens when you write the company and tell them how much you love their products and how wonderful they are. So it doesnt hurt to take a couple mins out just to send a email.
Ok this will have to do for now I have to get my butt printing up on more coupons. Also Dont forget to shop around! Find the best prices for the stuff your looking for. Dont be worried about shopping for some stuff at one store then going 5mins down the road to another store for other stuff. It will cost alittle bit of gas but still save you money in the end! Also stores do a 3 month cycle for most things to go on sale. Dont be worried bout clipping coupons and it not being on sale just yet, store those coupons for another day and just keep a eye out!
URLS that help! Sign up for the sites most of them do extra bonus stuff too. Just make a yahoo account if your worried about spam mail!
For the coupon sites below print out a ton of the same coupon if you want. Stores do accept more then 1 if you buy more then 1.
http://www.coupons.com/
http://couponsuzy.com/
http://www.weusecoupons.com/ (A friend Becky just gave me this url and she loves it so check this one out too! Thank you Becky!)
Coupon App that I use where u can save hundreds on stuff you use

I really do hope this helps people. I love helping as much as I can. Trust me though u stick with it and you will be so happy in the end! Its time that most of us out there stops living pay check to pay check!
If you need some help just let me know!
OOPS Also forgot one thing.... Stock up! If you have a coupon of something you see on sale now that you use but dont need it this second stock up on it! Next month when you need it then it wont be on sale and you will spend extra money even with a coupon!
