Trying to save More Money

I always get the Entertainment Book, Gold C and E-Books and keep them in my car so I always have coupons handy and can use them. They are not that expensive and easily pay for themselves in a few uses.

Some Printable coupon sites are: coupons.com, boodle.com, boxtops4education.com, bettycrocker.com, kraftfoods.com. I also love shortcuts.com no printing and cutting are involved. You simply click on the coupon you want and it stores the coupon on your grocery stores card. For example: your Smiths Fresh Value card. When you check out you give them your card and money is automatically taken away. hope some of these help.

Hi,
I got these websites from a friend. Not sure how great they work, but may be worth looking in to.

Check these web-sites out for some great deals....you have to do your homework but it is worth it!

Good luck!

Hi J., I've used shortcuts.com also. They just add things to your grocery saver card, very easy. There doesn't seem to be a ton of coupons available yet on there, but hopefully they will pick up some steam!

Hey J., I have had luck with The entertainment book as well, but if you know you are going to a store check out couponcabin.com or mommysavesbig.com and wow-coupons.com. They have printable coupons for groceries, drug stores and any retailer out there. This has really helped out our family along with the sunday paper.

Good luck!

www.restaurant.com Not really cheap places, but makes an affordable night out for a date. Once you sign up, they'll send you discount notices in addition to the already discounted certificates. Right now you can enter "feast" or "bonus" for an additional discount. I just got $25 to Ted's Montana Grill for $3. Like I said, not cheap places. Some of the others are cheaper. You might check out www.thegrocerygame.com and see if you're interested. They used to have a free trial. GL!

I like the website: www.pennypinchingparent.com

Check out the grocerygame.com or couponmom.com to find ways to double up on using sale groceries with coupons to save even more. It requires you collect and save coupons from Sunday papers every week.

Good Luck!

I don't know on the coupons, but I recently found a software called YNAB "You Need a Budget". I found it googling personal finance software and this had high ratings on Amazon. It is a completely different approach to personal budgets. Reading the developer's story, tips and approach to household budgets has turned our own finances around. It is cheap - $45 one time if I remember. He has free online classes and I bought it in December and we receive a savings tip every month. We have been trying to figure out and stick to a budget for 10 years (myself, all my adult life LOL). This is the first time we/I am actually doing it. Since the beginning of the year, we have $1500 more in savings and are $1500 less in debt. I suggest everyone check it out. http://www.youneedabudget.com/ - he has a lot of information on his website.

We get the entertainment book--happenings book, we usually get it through the kids school but you can also get it online at www.entertainment.com right now it is $15--there are tons of buy one get one free's in the book for eating out, so we save a lot of money and get to go out to eat more often or pocket that money. It also gets us out trying new places we would have never known about. I use it for girls night, date nights with my dh and to go to lunch with dd during the day--there are all kinds of places in it. Family outing coupons as well--
