coupons and shopping trip

Hey everyone I know its been  while but I was very busy. I do want to say that I now have a printer so I will be able to print coupons to save even more money. I know that I talk alot about coupons but I never talk about how my shopping trips go when I go. So today Im going to talk about how my shopping trips go. When I frist started couponing I was only saveing maybe five dollars each tip, then I started to bring my bags and I would save a little more. Now when I go I save more like 20 or 30 at one time. I some times dont have the best of luck with when I go shopping but I feel good when I do save money. I am tring to save more money and learn more ways to save. I'll be able to save more when I start printing coupons from home. Just remember to clip those coupons and print them out. Have fun guys.

Couponing tip today

Okay so today is tip day for you couponers out there. So when your going through the adds and your pull out all the ones you like and the ones that you'll use, before you go to cut each coupon out you should try makeing all the coupons in to there own pills. So what that means if you have lets say a butter coupon and you have a lot of them and there all the same you stack them all together and then you cut them all at once. That will save you 10 or more mins when your clipping. Now when you are putting all your nicely cut coupons away I find it easier to put them in to card sleave pages and then in a folder. Or one way that I have done it was storing them in labled bages. Oh and one more when your printing coupons out there is a limit that you can print out at one time. I hope the tips help.

Home made chille my style

Okay I like to cook and I love to make a lot food. Well my home made chille takes two days to cook. I use four different types of beans and they are all dry, so that means they have to be in water for 12 hours or longer. Don't be alarmed when they swell up they do that. After that they get drained, place beans back in the pot and fill with beef broth and place on low heat for two days. On day one your going to want to add your all your seasoning to flavor your beans. I like to use chille powder, onion powder, garlic powder, chlille seasoning kits and a little salt. Before the end of night one add one whole finlly chopped onion it can be any kind of onion. Now on day two cheek the beans to see how done they are, if there still a little hard turn the heat up to a low boil. Druing some piont in the day cook your meat with taco seasoning, after the meat is cooked add it you the beans and wait till the beans are done. Mean while stiring the beans every 30 mins or so. If one wanted to speed up the cooking time it helps to add some oil to the beans on day one. Yummy dinner on a cold night.

Couponing if a full time job almost

Today I counted how many adds that I have to go through and clip. I would have to say that this is becoming a full time job. I have a totall of 30 adds to go through and thats hundereds of dollars in coupons that I have just waiting for me to cut. It seems like I am cutting coupons everyday and every night. It feels like I have two full time jobs, but I love them both. I got so many good coupons this week I hope that there are more next week. I wanted to let everyone know that flipping through all that paper can dry out your fingers, so remember to keep your hands mositerized. Keep finding those adds and keep finding those coupons online, and most of all keep saving money.

Online couponing

Today I decited that I was going to try the online couponing thing again. I found a lot of really nice coupons but I cant print them out. So I sent them to my lovely mother and she tried to print them out at work but she cant. So at least I have found out that you for sure can e-mail them to someone and they can print you the coupon that you send them. And I have alos come to trims with the fact that I myself need a printer. I do have to say that online there are more coupons that you can choose from, and most of the ones I have found I don't see them in my adds in the pappers. I also have found out that is you go to a products web page and answer questions for them they have coupons that will pop up. Thats also a good thing to know. have fun looking for those coupons ladies and genlemen.

Web sruffing

Lastnight I became very sick for no reason, and when I woke up this morning I had no voice. So I planned on just having a relaxing day looking over the web. While I was looking I read something about a site that allows you to swap coupons from other people all over the the USA. I believe that, that site also has freebes on it as well. Although as of yet I've been unable to find it. But I will! Coupons are a big thing for me and if there is a site that allows me to swap for a coupon that I really need for something that I dont need I want to be all over that. I will find it and tell you all about it later on today though.

Moving right along, what I wanted to talk about today is sites that you can go on and sign up to get free things. Now there are all kinds of places online that you can go to. Just go to google and type in freebeies. And tons of sites will come up. Now for you mommys out there the freebe world can be tons of fun, because you can sign up to get lots of really cute things for your little one or even your kids. And dont worry ladys theres also loads for free make-up and ect, that you can sign up to get. I think there are even freebes that give you coupons. How fun is that? I like to freebe when I'm feeling under the weather it makes me feel better and its alwasy fun when it comes in the mail. My mom and my lovely friend got me hooked on freebeing and I don't know what I would do now if they didn't tell me all about it. Freebe site have all kinds of things to sign up for you have to be carefull though because some are scams. Now that you know a little fun thing to do I think I'm going to go have some fun myself.

Shopping nightmare and couponing tips

   I went shopping this morning like I always do on staurdays, and today for some odd reason I felt like I was going soslow through the store. Winco was about as busy as it is every time I go but today my mother and grandfather got throught the store superfast today. I went the same speed I always go, and thats with looking at all my coupons and looking at all the deals, even looking through the reduces price carts. And it took me an extra 30 mins to get through the store. Even when I was done getting everything and I was in the cheek out it took me for ever to bage everything I got. I guess I wasn't fully awake yet when we went to the store. I hope that next week I'm not as slow.
    Anyhow I wanted to say that this week and last week where some really bad shopping trips for me. I didn't stick to my coupons and I didn't use all my coupons. So I have been slacking on getting them all ready to use. I believe I saved last week maybe five dollars and this week I saved maybe twelve dollars. So I thats a sign that I need to be on the ball for next trip to the store.
    My lovely friend asked me to help her with her couponing and figuring out how to get them on line. There are lots of ways to go about couponing online. One way that i've seen is when you go on to a stores webpage that you have a club card for, you can go through and find where they have there online coupons and you can save them to your club card its self or you can print them out at home. If you where to save them on to your club card I waould also print them out just in case they don't show up on your club card. And the other way that I would be more likely to do would be to go on to couponing webpages that have coupons listed everywhere. I like to type in the seach bar coupon dot com and that will pop up a page with lots of coupons. And you can go on to google and type in free coupons and you'll get webpages for couponing. Now when you go on to these site you can click and print and or you can e-mail them to someone eles and they can print them them for you. You just have to be careful of the sites you go on because some charge you to use their site. Because I dont have a printer I send then to my mom and she prints them out for me. Another plus with couponing online you can look for all the deals at your local stores before there add comes out in the paper. I hope that was helpfull. If you you need me to explain more I can try my very best to help you. I even think that some coupon adds are on my page that should help you get started with the wonderful online would with couponing.

Wonderful world of couponing

   When I lived at home with my loving parents I didn't really think about tools that help you save money. Now that I am out on my own I have come to relize that saving money is the only way to go. My mom got me to watch this show on T.V. called extream couponing. The people on this shoe are crazy good couponers. They make couponing another job in their everyday lives. Thats when I opened my eyes to the world of couponing. At frist I wasn't very good at getting coupons. Then is was that I didn't use them very well. Now that I have been couponing for a little while I have gotten a little better, now I save more then ten dollars when I go to the store. I wouldn't say that I'm extream when it comes to couponing. I would like to say that I'm becoming a penny save. Couponing is not hard to do its just a little time consuming, and making the time to coupon with my little one is hard to do from time to time.
   If your just starting out with the couponing world, I would say read the adds closely and watch the deals at your store. And make sure to look at some of the things you by there are coupons on some of them posted there by the store or some times its from the maker of the product. There are lots of really good places on line to help you find really awsome coupons. Just take it slow there is no need to rush this. Couponing is fun and can be relaxing for some. I like to coupon to pass the time while my little one is sleeping. I also find it relaxing from time to time. Have fun learning the ropes I know I am!

My helpful tip

When I would clean the bathroom before I found a amazing product. I would clean the walls and I would strugle with keeping the miledue away and when I would get the little black spots away there would be little brown stains. It made my bathroom look like a muddy dog had ran all over my walls. Thats when I spent some quality time in the cemical section of the store. Thats when I found my new best friend in kicking butt of the miledue X-14. It removes not only the black spots but it even removes the stains left behind. I would have to say that I will continue to use this everytime that nasty miledue comes up. It even cleans the grout in the shower, how fun it that?
