I apologize for not posting much this
week.&amp;nbsp; It has been a crazy and overwhelming week and a lot of things have been forgotten.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
I have just found out that I am pregnant.&amp;nbsp; This will make four children in three years (the
first two are twins).&amp;nbsp; I have very difficult pregnancies (extreme morning sickness
for the entire pregnancy), and three 3 other children under three.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
I am very overwhelmed, and simply don’t think I will be able
to be a good mother to four young children and produce a quality blog.&amp;nbsp; Obviously, my responsibilities as a mother
come first.&amp;nbsp; So, I have decided to set the
blog aside for at least a few years and possibly much longer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
All the current content will be left here as is, so you will still be able (and more than welcome) to search the website and use the tips I've posted.&amp;nbsp; I simply won't be adding more content.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
Thank you for all of your support, questions and contributions.&amp;nbsp; It has been a lot of fun.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
If you are looking for another similar blog to follow, I would highly recommend &lt;a href="http://www.moneysavingmom.com/"&gt;Money Saving Mom.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Not only does she have an awesome blog, but she is a wonderful person.&amp;nbsp; She also has a lot of readers, so you get many tips from them (in the comments) as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Good luck!

 think of all the places you spend money on &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;food&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.  There are many more 
than just the grocery store.  What about restaurants?  Soda and candy 
machines?  The popcorn counter at the theater?  Fast food?  Coffee?  The
 bottle of water when buying gas?  All such expenses add up.  Make a 
list, then eliminate non-essentials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAXhC3MzrvI/AAAAAAAAGlw/uOXns0d3Yf8/s1600/weekly+tools+tip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAXhC3MzrvI/AAAAAAAAGlw/uOXns0d3Yf8/s400/weekly+tools+tip.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Did you know that you can search each of the &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/05/weekly-tools.html"&gt;Grocery Shopping Tools?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt; This can be very useful when planning a shopping trip.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://myfrugalicious.net/myfrug/deals/view/star/DESC/ALL/ALL/true"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Current Deals List&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Search for items that you need that week, but are not on sale for a rock bottom price.&amp;nbsp; You can see if they are on sale at all and where they are the lease expensive.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://myfrugalicious.net/myfrug/coupons/view/expires/ASC/ALL/ALL/ALL/ALL/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Coupon List&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
If you don't find an item you need listed in the Current Deals list, but you &lt;i&gt;must&lt;/i&gt; buy it that week, you can search the Coupon List for a coupon that will help lower your cost.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://myfrugalicious.net/myfrug/coupons/view/expires/ASC/ALL/ALL/ALL/ALL/"&gt;The Virtual Price Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Searching is actually the only way I use the Price Book.&amp;nbsp; Remember to search by type of item.&amp;nbsp; There are no specific brands listed here.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
How about you?&amp;nbsp; Are there any ways in which you have found it helpful to search the &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/05/weekly-tools.html"&gt;Grocery Shopping Tools?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAl6p9IVinI/AAAAAAAAGnI/d97CFtY21Dg/s1600/Grocery+store+tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAl6p9IVinI/AAAAAAAAGnI/d97CFtY21Dg/s400/Grocery+store+tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;One of the things I &lt;i&gt;always&lt;/i&gt; (well, okay, not always....I have 3 kids under 3...c'mon, but I sure wish it was always) have with me at the grocery store is a calculator.&amp;nbsp; I use during almost every shopping trip.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I use it to help me calculate price / ea so I know when a larger size of something is actually cheaper.&amp;nbsp; When I tell people this, they often say to me: "Don't you know that the price / ea is already calculated out for you on the price tag?&amp;nbsp; Just look a little closer."&amp;nbsp; Yes, they are right, the price per each is often calculated for you.&amp;nbsp; But there are two situations where this still isn't enough information:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Different Brands Calculate Price / ea Differently&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
For example, one brand of mouthwash may say $0.53 / oz on the price tag while another may say $0.018 / mL.&amp;nbsp; Those two prices are the exact same ($8.99 for 16.9 oz or 500 mL), but because the two brands use a different form of measurement, it is difficult to make a fair comparison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coupons Can Change the Price / ea Significantly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Coupons often make smaller sizes a better deal, but it is hard to be sure unless you have a calculator.&amp;nbsp; For example, Let's say jumbo pack diapers are on sale for $8.99 ($0.25 ea for size 3) and mega packs are on sale for $13.99 ($0.23 ea for size 3).&amp;nbsp; Without a coupon, you can quickly glance at the price tags and see that the mega pack is the better deal.&amp;nbsp; But what if you have a $3 off coupon?&amp;nbsp; Now, your jumbo pack is $5.99 and your mega pack is $10.99.&amp;nbsp; You will need a calculator to figure the price / ea because this isn't written on the price tag.&amp;nbsp; The jumbo pack is now $0.166 / ea and the mega pack is $0.183 / ea.&amp;nbsp; The jumbo pack is the better deal, but without a calculator you may not have know that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA0OFJI_R0I/AAAAAAAAGn4/-nW4ndHquJM/s1600/Coupon+Tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA0OFJI_R0I/AAAAAAAAGn4/-nW4ndHquJM/s400/Coupon+Tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One questions I get from a lot of people is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
 &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Do I have to use coupons to save money?"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My answer is: &lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"It depends."&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It depends &lt;b&gt;on how you currently shop.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It depends &lt;b&gt;on the types of food you buy.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It depends &lt;b&gt;on how much you want to save.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It depends &lt;b&gt;on how busy you are.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/11/what-is-frugalicious-grocery-shopping.html"&gt;Frugalicious Shopping&lt;/a&gt; consists of two parts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stockpiling when things are on sale for a rock bottom price&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stacking deals (stacking sales with coupons and / or rebates etc) for &lt;i&gt;increased &lt;/i&gt;savings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/05/weekly-tools.html"&gt;Grocery Shopping Tools &lt;/a&gt;tell you when something is on sale for it's rock bottom price &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; coupons.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can you save money with just that information?&amp;nbsp; Well, it depends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It depends on how you currently shop.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you already shop with a list, only buy essentials, and track prices on your own or have a fairly extensive Price Book, you won't save much &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt; by using the Grocery Shopping Tools.&amp;nbsp; However, if you don't shop with a list, don't track prices, and just buy whatever you need each week, you should be able to cut your grocery bill by about 30%-40% by using the Grocery Shopping Tools &lt;i&gt;without using coupons.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It depends on the types of food&amp;nbsp; you buy.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While there are coupons for organic and whole foods, they &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; less common that other coupons.&amp;nbsp; They can also be a little more difficult to find.&amp;nbsp; So, if you buy a lot of these types of foods, you will save less than someone else, but you will still save.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It depends on how much you want to save.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you want to cut your grocery bill by 60%-80%, you will need to use coupons.&amp;nbsp; If you are comfortable with saving 30%-40%, you should be able to accomplish that without coupons (as long as you really focus on stocking up when things are on sale for a rock bottom price)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It depends on how busy you are.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"Couponing" takes time.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I believe it is well worth my time, so I have made time for it.&amp;nbsp; However, everyone's situation is different.&amp;nbsp; You may not have time to add it to your life right now; it may not be worth it for your family &lt;i&gt;right now.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp; You can still save money.&amp;nbsp; I have a good friend who is extremely busy right now.&amp;nbsp; She simply glaces at the &lt;a href="http://myfrugalicious.net/myfrug/deals/view/star/DESC/ALL/ALL/true"&gt;Current Deals List &lt;/a&gt;right before she goes shopping.&amp;nbsp; She filters it to show just the store she is planning to shop at and checks just 2-3 items that are on sale for a rock bottom price.&amp;nbsp; She stocks up on just those 2-3 items and does the rest of her shopping just like she normally would.&amp;nbsp; She has been doing this for almost a year now.&amp;nbsp; She has slowly built a nice stockpile of food &lt;i&gt;without &lt;/i&gt;spending much time and &lt;i&gt;without &lt;/i&gt;using coupons. Her grocery bill has lowered by about 15% from where it was 1 year ago and she has a nice stockpile of food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few questions people often ask me about coupons.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully, the answers will help you decide if&amp;nbsp; 
“couponing” is worth it for you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Are 
there coupons available for things I use?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;There are many coupons for the following: 
snack foods, cereal, baby supplies, frozen foods, canned goods, and 
boxed/prepared food, cleaning supplies, personal care items, medicines, 
cheese &amp;amp; yogurt, condiments, baking needs, and paper goods. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;There are occasionally coupons for these 
categories (more so if you use online coupons): produce, milk, eggs, 
bread, fresh meats, and lesser known organic or health food brands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. How 
much time will it take?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;If you choose to try and match coupons to sales
 on your own, it can take hours each week. If you choose to 
use the Grocery Shopping Tools provided here at Frugalicious which do most of the work for you, you should only spend 15-30 min a week on average. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. How much
 money will I save?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;The average coupon is worth about $0.90.  The Current Deals List 
database tracks coupon trends and suggests using about 60-80 coupons 
each week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Of the 60-80 
recommended coupons, there will still be many for things you do not 
need, but even if you are &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;very&lt;/span&gt; 
conservative and only use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt; 1/8 of 
the suggested coupons (8-10/week) would save you $30-$40 a month.  If 
you use multiples of any coupon (which you should if you are stocking 
up), you will save significantly more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Most people use 15-25 coupons a week on 
average, bringing their savings to $50-$90 a month.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Why 
should I spend money on coupons in order to save money on groceries?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;You can get a newspaper subscription through &lt;a href="http://www.discountednewspapers.com/" style="font-size: 130%;" target="_blank"&gt;www.discountednewspapers.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt; for as little as $4-$8 a month. Even with 
multiple subscriptions, you will save significantly more than you spend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgrSje6OUI/AAAAAAAAGmo/uo43hT_beFk/s1600/Random+Tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgrSje6OUI/AAAAAAAAGmo/uo43hT_beFk/s400/Random+Tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
If you are at all like me, there are weeks when you kick yourself for forgetting about some fresh produce you'd bought.&amp;nbsp; Argh!&amp;nbsp; It just sat in the fridge all week and went bad!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A friend gave me a quick suggestion years ago that I've used since.&amp;nbsp; It has saved much of our produce from being wasted, and therefore helped me save money:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;"Check Your Fridge Each Night Before You Start Cooking Dinner"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You may just find a fruit or vegetable that would go well with your meal.&amp;nbsp; Use it up!&amp;nbsp; This tip also helps keep your meals more balanced and healthy as well.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I just wanted to let you know that the Stater Bros ad will not be updated in the &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/05/weekly-tools.html"&gt;Grocery Shopping Tools&lt;/a&gt; this week. Typically, someone else enters this ad for me.&amp;nbsp; However, she is out of town.&amp;nbsp; She asked me months ago if I would cover it for her this week.&amp;nbsp; I told her yes, but then my family planned a fun get-a-way for this week too.&amp;nbsp; I tried contacting Stater Bros to get an ad early, but was unable to.&amp;nbsp; So, the ad will not be entered at all this week.&amp;nbsp; However, I have contacted Apryl from &lt;a href="http://christianclippers.com/"&gt;Christian Clippers.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; She will be posting &lt;a href="http://christianclippers.com/tag/stater-brothers"&gt;the best deals at Stater Bros this week &lt;/a&gt;with coupon matchups.&amp;nbsp; She does a great job, and I would encourage you to go check her out!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgpwMZP3wI/AAAAAAAAGmg/_qyHOIPn7bQ/s1600/drug+store+tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgpwMZP3wI/AAAAAAAAGmg/_qyHOIPn7bQ/s400/drug+store+tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cash register computers are set up to accept coupons in a certain order.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; Sometimes a coupon that you are allowed to use as per the fine print on the coupon and the store's coupon policy will still beep simply because the cashier scanned the coupons in the wrong order.&amp;nbsp; One example of this is written right into &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2009/11/cvs-coupon-policy.html"&gt;the coupon policy I received  from CVS.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Usually a knowledgeable cashier or manager will push these coupons through for you, but wouldn't it be nice to avoid the problem in the first place?&amp;nbsp; I've listed below the order you should hand your coupons to the cashier at Riteaid and CVS.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully, this will cut way back on the number of "beeps" you get when checking out!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CVS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;$ off $$ coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CVS store coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; ECBs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; 
Manufacturer’s coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Riteaid&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;$ off $$ coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Riteaid In-ad coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Riteaid Video Values coupons or Wellness coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manufacturer's coupons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
So, try it this week.&amp;nbsp; Stack your coupons in the above order before you get to the checkout.&amp;nbsp; Then hand your cashier each type of coupon one after the other.&amp;nbsp; Don't give them the next type of coupon until then finished scanning the first.&amp;nbsp; For example, don't give them store coupons until they have scanned your $ off $$ coupons.&amp;nbsp; Then don't give them manufacturer's coupons until they have scanned all store coupons etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digiscrappingqueen.com/blog/?page_id=119"&gt;What Katie Scrapped&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/index.php?option=com_alphacontent&amp;amp;section=35&amp;amp;category=26&amp;amp;Itemid=92"&gt;Jessica Sprague&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookexperts.com/collect_a_kit.php"&gt;DSE&lt;/a&gt; They have what they call "The Collect-A-Kit program . They will send you daily emails with a digital scrapbooking item download. You will complete kits one piece at a time, a new kit each month.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://weedsandwildflowersdesign.com/blog/?p=346"&gt;Weeds and Wildflowers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.scrapgirls.com/product/4606/1-Scrap-Girls-Refresh-Collection-Biggie"&gt;Scrapgirls&lt;/a&gt; Download their free Kit then sign up for their newsletter and receive something else for free everyday in the newsletter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogtrainblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;Blog Train&amp;nbsp; &lt;/a&gt;This takes a little work but I have found some great designers here and some great free things. Here is how this works… every couple of months they have a blog train. This month they have 106 free kits all with the same theme and color scheme. You have to go to each (106) web-sites to download each piece. Some of them are wonderful and some not so wonderful so you kind of have to pick and choose. What I do is I find the designers that I like then add them to my &lt;a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=reader&amp;amp;passive=1209600&amp;amp;continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Freader%2Fview%2F&amp;amp;followup=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Freader%2Fview%2F"&gt;Google Reader &lt;/a&gt;so I can see whenever they add something free and download it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Also try &lt;a href="http://sunshinestudioscraps.com/blog/"&gt;Sunshine blog Train &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Those are my Favorites Check &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/digitalscrapbookfreebies"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; for more ideas &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgmjvYQrwI/AAAAAAAAGmY/jPIKfQYGFMA/s1600/Online+Shopping+Tip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAgmjvYQrwI/AAAAAAAAGmY/jPIKfQYGFMA/s400/Online+Shopping+Tip.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have mentioned this idea before, but in light of Father's Day coming up, I thought I would do a quick overview again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buying Discounted Gift Cards as Gifts &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
One of my favorite money saving tricks is to buy gift cards at less than face value.&amp;nbsp; Obviously, gift card can make great gifts for others: especially those that are a bit harder to buy for (ahem....my dad....ahem).&amp;nbsp; Buying a gift card means you won't waste money on something they don't really want, but paying less than the gift card is worth is what truly makes it smart shopping!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One great place to do this is &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3741081-10673226" target="_blank"&gt;Plastic
 Jungle&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I use this website often for my discounted gift card purchases.&amp;nbsp; They buy gift cards that others don't want or can't use.&amp;nbsp; Then then re-sell them to others that do want or need them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One reason I wanted to mention this a few weeks &lt;i&gt;before &lt;/i&gt;Father's Day is because the good gift cards go FAST!&amp;nbsp; So, if there is a certain store you would like a discounted gift card to, but it isn't currently available, I would suggest you &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;sign up now&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; for&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3741081-10673226" target="_blank"&gt;Plastic Jungle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; "notifications" feature. Pick a merchant (or a 
few merchants), a minimum discount, and the card face value you are 
looking for.&amp;nbsp; Then, &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3741081-10673226" target="_blank"&gt;Plastic
 Jungle&lt;/a&gt; will email you immediately whenever a card that meets those requirements becomes available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I typically get my gift cards within just a few days of ordering them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stacking Discounted Gift Cards With Other Deals:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I buy discounted gift cards for myself.&amp;nbsp; Yep.&amp;nbsp; I do.&amp;nbsp; And I consider it very smart shopping.&amp;nbsp; In fact, I try to make all of my major purchases (especially clothing) with discounted gift cards.&amp;nbsp; It is simply one more way in which I &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2008/11/what-is-frugalicious-grocery-shopping.html"&gt;stack deals&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's say you bought a $100 gift card for just $90.&amp;nbsp; Then, you used that
 gift card to purchase $130 worth of merchandise that is on sale for 
$100.&amp;nbsp; That is $130 worth of merchandise for just $90!&amp;nbsp; Combine that with a coupon code / printable couopn, free shipping code, 
and/or online cash back and you can save some significant money!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anytime I see a great sale (one that is combined with a 
great coupon code or cash back) that will last for the next week or so , I quickly head over to &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3741081-10673226" target="_blank"&gt;Plastic
 Jungle&lt;/a&gt; to see if I can get a great gift card to go with the sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What about those great sales that only last a few days?&amp;nbsp; Well, this is the reason I &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; like Plastic Jungle's notification feature.&amp;nbsp; I sign up to be notified &lt;i&gt;whenever &lt;/i&gt;gift cards to stores I'm sure I will shop at are on sale
 for a great price. Currently I am signed up to receive notifications for various grocery &amp;amp; 
drug stores, Costco, Target, Walmart, Payless, PF Changs, The
 Children's Place, Staples, &amp;amp; Ebay, and Kohls.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whenever these cards go on sale for a great price, I pick one up.&amp;nbsp; Then I 
use it at some point in the future, always in combination with a great 
sale and/or coupons, rebates, or cash back.&amp;nbsp; That way, I am always 
saving 10%-20% (which is the discount applied to &lt;i&gt;most&lt;/i&gt; gift cards)
 &lt;i&gt;in addition&lt;/i&gt; to any sale, discount or coupon being offered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've found &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3741081-10673226" target="_blank"&gt;Plastic

 Jungle&lt;/a&gt; to be very easy to use / navigate.&amp;nbsp; If you have any questions, be sure to let me know! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA1KDJg_0vI/AAAAAAAAGoI/tZaUhlFxYS0/s1600/Riteaid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA1KDJg_0vI/AAAAAAAAGoI/tZaUhlFxYS0/s320/Riteaid.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
I just got back from &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2010/04/earn-money-tip-get-paid-to-fill.html"&gt;picking up a transferred prescription from Riteaid.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; While I was there, I quickly asked the manager (who is just awesome I might add) about &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2010/06/2-reader-tips.html"&gt;the Huggies deal Shauna mentioned.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; Here are the details:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now through June 12th (June 10th in So Cal), you will get an UP Wellness Reward of $11.99 each time&amp;nbsp; you buy &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;three &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;Huggies jumbo pack diapers.&amp;nbsp; The diapers do not have to be bought in the same transaction.&amp;nbsp; Your UP reward can be used like cash on your next transaction.&amp;nbsp; So, a scenario would look like this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buy three Huggies at $11.99 - $35.97&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use $5 off $25 - $30.97&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use three Huggies $3 off 1 printables - $21.97&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use $1 off Video Value Coupon (Thanks, Jen!) - $20.97 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Receive $11.99 UP Reward&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Buy three Huggies at $11.99 - $35.97&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use $5 off $25 - $30.97&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use three Huggies $3 off 1 printables - $21.97&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use $11.99 UP Reward - $9.98 &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Receive $11.99 UP Reward&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Receive (through the SCR system in a few weeks) a voucher for a FREE Huggies Jumbo Pack&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
After all rebates, vouchers, coupons, rewards etc, it is like getting 7 Huggies for $6.97 or $1 each!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA0F-iQWAYI/AAAAAAAAGno/vbZpoCuE_Q0/s1600/reader+tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA0F-iQWAYI/AAAAAAAAGno/vbZpoCuE_Q0/s400/reader+tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
Shauna emailed me to let us know about a fun surprise she got on Thursday at Riteaid:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I just had to share - I have no idea how I earned this - but I got a 
nice surprise on Thursday when I bought 2 packs of Huggies - I got an 
$11.99 +Wellnes reward on my receipt - good for $11.99 off my next 
purchase!&amp;nbsp; It says it is a gift from Huggies.&amp;nbsp; WOW!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;So, while I'm not certain everyone will get the deal when they buy 2 packs of Huggies, if you are needing diapers this week anyway, it would be worth a shot!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Jen also emailed me (a few days ago actually) to let me know that there are Albertsons double coupons available:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I went to Albertsons on Monday they had coupon books at the 
register that were good starting today 6/2 and on the back were coupon 
doublers.&amp;nbsp; I keep 
seeing people in other areas posting about getting the Albertsons 
doublers in their Sunday papers and I haven't been getting any so I was 
excited to see these.&amp;nbsp; Each coupon book has 2 doublers and they say on 
the coupon only 2 can be used per person per shopping trip.&amp;nbsp; It seems 
like these doublers can make for some great deals!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;If you are unfamiliar with Albertsons doublers, here is a brief summary:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;You can use them in addition to any manufacturer's coupon you have availalbe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;If your manufacturer's coupon is worth $0.01 - $1, your doubler is worth the exact same as the manufacturer's coupon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;If your manufacturer's 
coupon is worth $1 or more, your doubler is worth $1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks, Shauna and Jen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/SvtAWaUGW9I/AAAAAAAADC0/vpumMsWxyM0/s1600-h/happy+shopping.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402982931725966290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/SvtAWaUGW9I/AAAAAAAADC0/vpumMsWxyM0/s200/happy+shopping.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 67px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" /&gt;&lt;img xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4276929553391011803-2317412390113163552?l=www.myfrugalicious.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2010/06/2-reader-tips.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Misty)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TA0F-iQWAYI/AAAAAAAAGno/vbZpoCuE_Q0/s72-c/reader+tip.png" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276929553391011803.post-4238096881912580522</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-06-07T07:00:00.709-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">WedTips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">money saving tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">coupon tips</category><title>COUPON TIP: Look Beyond the Picture</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAbaCmpHVpI/AAAAAAAAGl4/GyEEQpmwDug/s1600/Coupon+Tip.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="152" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAbaCmpHVpI/AAAAAAAAGl4/GyEEQpmwDug/s400/Coupon+Tip.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;One comment I &lt;i&gt;often&lt;/i&gt; get from cashiers when using coupons is this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You didn't get the item shown on the coupon, so you can't use this coupon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Often, this is simply untrue.&amp;nbsp; Most coupons can be used for quite a variety of items, they simply can't put a picture of each one on the coupon.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;The item pictured is very often the most exp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;ensive item you could buy with that coupon.&amp;nbsp;  
The coupon will clearly state exactly what products it can be used on.&amp;nbsp; As a recent example of this, I had a coupon that stated it was for "any Maybelline eye product."&amp;nbsp; There was a picture of one of their more expensive mascaras on the coupon.&amp;nbsp; I decided to use the coupon on a less expensive eyeliner instead.&amp;nbsp; The cashier told me I couldn't use the coupon and gave me the above reason.&amp;nbsp; I carefully (and kindly) showed her the actual wording on the coupon.&amp;nbsp; And you know what?&amp;nbsp; She thanked me!&amp;nbsp; She said she had always wondered why people used coupons when they could each only be used for a very specific item (the one pictured).&amp;nbsp; She said now it seemed far more worth it to her.&amp;nbsp; I gave her my card and left with my very inexpensive eyeliner!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;Make sure you read the wording and fine print to find out what items the coupons can be used on: don't just trust the picture!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

IT. HAS. BEEN. ONE. OF. THOSE. WEEKS.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I forgot to take a picture of my shopping trip.&lt;br /&gt;
I forgot to enter Ralphs into the Grocery Shopping Tools.&lt;br /&gt;
I forgot to dry my sheets last night, so when I was finally ready for bed at midnight, my sheets weren't. (I know, pretty funny)&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on, but I won't.&amp;nbsp; I'm just gonna go to bed.&lt;br /&gt;
Goodnight!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAmM4gdDMgI/AAAAAAAAGng/_jcAlrDaPuQ/s1600/Rebate+Tracker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAmM4gdDMgI/AAAAAAAAGng/_jcAlrDaPuQ/s320/Rebate+Tracker.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2010/05/guest-post-why-i-use-weekly-tools_18.html"&gt;Michelle &lt;/a&gt;asked me how I keep track of all of the mail-in-rebates I submit.&amp;nbsp; At the time, I didn't really have a system although I'd been thinking for months that I ought to.&amp;nbsp; Well, Michelle, I've finally taken the time to create a fun tool in excel that will help you keep track of all your rebates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is what the &lt;a href="http://www.mdn.fm/files/118244_suoww/rebate%20trackers.xls"&gt;Rebate Tracker&lt;/a&gt; looks like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAmMBuhZcoI/AAAAAAAAGnQ/f2TuJ8SzyLQ/s1600/Rebate+Tracker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAmMBuhZcoI/AAAAAAAAGnQ/f2TuJ8SzyLQ/s320/Rebate+Tracker.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Entering New Rebates:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anytime you hear about a rebate (on a blog, from a mailer, on a store website etc), enter it into this spreadsheet.&amp;nbsp; Enter the company name, address, phone number and rebate requirements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Submitting a Rebate&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
When you are ready to submit a rebate, simply find that rebate in your list (use the sort feature in excel, it is great!&amp;nbsp; If you don't know how, just email me and I will help you).&amp;nbsp; You should have the address and all the required documents listed there.&amp;nbsp; Use that info to compile your rebate request and send off your rebate.&amp;nbsp; Make sure you enter the date you mailed it and the maximum number of 
weeks expected before you receive your rebate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Following Up on Rebates You Should Have Received But Haven't &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Each time you open the program, it will highlight in red any rebates that should have been received, but have not been.&amp;nbsp; This way, you can quickly follow up with those companies in order to ensure you receive the rebates you should.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAknUpNOdpI/AAAAAAAAGnA/n8lguopfhXg/s1600/swagbucks+summer+swag.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAknUpNOdpI/AAAAAAAAGnA/n8lguopfhXg/s320/swagbucks+summer+swag.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
YAY!&amp;nbsp; Swagbucks will be kicking off a &lt;b&gt;Summer of Swag &lt;/b&gt;starting Monday!&amp;nbsp; We are going to start earning even more swagbucks.&amp;nbsp; If you haven't signed up for Swagbucks yet, &lt;a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Frugalicious"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;now is the time!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you've created an account, but haven't started using it, I would highly suggest you start.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are unfamiliar with them, you can &lt;a href="http://www.myfrugalicious.com/2010/05/5-ways-to-earn-money-doing-things-you.html"&gt;learn more about Swagbucks here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Basically, it is a great way to earn money doing something you already do: searching the internet.&amp;nbsp; I'm using my swagbucks to pay for Christmas this year and I have no doubt that I will earn enough to pay for our entire Christmas...likely with some left over!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Here is what will be happening next week:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Monday:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; There will be 5 different swagcodes released (check the swagbucks blog, facebook page, twitter page, toolbar etc).&amp;nbsp; You can use these codes to earn swagbucks in addition to those you earn for searching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The entire week:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; Every 7th win there will be a MEGA swagbuck awarded.&amp;nbsp; Monday's buck will be worth 25 swagbucks!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was a bit skeptical of swagbucks right at first.&amp;nbsp; I wasn't sure I would like searching through them and I didn't really think I'd earn much.&amp;nbsp; I am so glad I tried it!&amp;nbsp; It actually makes searching just a bit more fun as every once in a while you get a fun little surprise.&amp;nbsp; The search results are &lt;i&gt;very&lt;/i&gt; similar to google.&amp;nbsp; I've never had a problem with them.&amp;nbsp; And, I &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; earned quite a bit.&amp;nbsp; I highly recommend you &lt;a href="http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Frugalicious"&gt;sign up for Swagbucks!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.forthemommas.com/drug-store-deals/riteaid/rite-aid-using-in-ad-coupons-with-video-values?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+forthemommas%2FcIER+%28For+the+Mommas+%E2%84%A0%29"&gt;Shannon over at For the Mommas&lt;/a&gt; has a great picture that proves you can stack a Riteaid In-ad coupon with a Video Values coupon.&amp;nbsp; These are both &lt;i&gt;store&lt;/i&gt; coupons, so there has been some argument as to whether you can use them on the same item.&amp;nbsp; This picture takes away all question.&amp;nbsp; I second Shannon's recommendation that you cut this out of your ad this coming week (the ad will start on the 4th (today) in So Cal and the 6th everywhere else) and put in in your coupon binder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAXd4j40sSI/AAAAAAAAGlY/egcOuC9xE6Y/s1600/Riteaid+Video+Values+Coupons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZPfpdQ8AiMY/TAXd4j40sSI/AAAAAAAAGlY/egcOuC9xE6Y/s320/Riteaid+Video+Values+Coupons.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
This will make for some great deals as both these coupons can also be stacked with a manufacturer's coupon and SCRs (Riteaid's rebates).&lt;br /&gt;

I love Welch's Juice, so this coupon grabbed my attention.&amp;nbsp; If you &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/welchsgrapes?v=app_129439533733942#%21/welchsgrapes?v=app_129439533733942"&gt;become a fan ('like") Welch's juice on facebook&lt;/a&gt;, you will be able to print a coupon for $2 off!&amp;nbsp; This often goes on sale for under $3 and occasionally for $2, so you should be able to get some for FREE / next to free!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are a few other good coupons that are available right now: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Here are the rock bottom deals I see at Stater Bros Markets this 
week:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;**Please remember that I only list 
the deals that are "stock up worthy."&amp;nbsp; There are other items on sale, 
but not a rock bottom price**&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

shelf, the second price is what you pay when you factor in the $5
