Sunday Morning Newspaper Review & Deals too: February 12, 2012

2012-02-12T11:16:00.001-05:00

Good Sunday Morning to you!!!!

I think winter has arrived in full force. Those winds were crazy-cold yesterday and today it doesn't feel much better, except that the sun is shining brightly. Yea!! Sunshine!! And, it's red heart week!!!!

Are you ready for Valentine's Day? Tuesday will be upon us before we blink twice. If you have school-aged children, I'm sure you've been busy helping with their class Valentine's. What an evening of tears and fussing as my guys have to write out all of those names...teehee. I am reminded of decorating my own class valentine's a hundred years ago. Do you remember using craft paper to cover a Kleenex box to use as your Valentine Box? We had a classroom mother who brought in pink and red iced cupcakes and we adorned them with sprinkles and red hots. Good times - big mess!!!

However you celebrate, I hope your week is filled with love and savings! We've posted several deals around town for you recently and you can print out several great money saving coupons too!

Take a look at what I saw in the paper today:

Spartanburg Herald Journal
The paper is filled with sadness today. The lead story outlines the financial strife that families are faced with following the Cleveland Park train wreck. Below that is the announcement of Whitney Houston's death. Section B has another great Perspective to read regarding Military Cuts. The Opinion pages have plenty of opines on crime, tax credit for school of choice and Letters to the Editor.

Where is the love???? It's Valentine's Week!!!! Anywho...I'm sharing the love of savings with you since the paper doesn't seem to have any love to give:

Coupons and deals...there are TWO coupon inserts today: SS - Smart Source, and RP - Red Plum AND...

You can also get printable coupons HERE - print, clip and file and get that box or binder back in your car. Having a ton of coupons at home while you're out shopping will not be very helpful when it comes to saving money, will it?

If you want to know what coupon inserts will be in the paper next week, you can go HERE to see the listing each week. It's free and informative. If you are ready to print some coupons, you can also head over HERE to take a look at what's available.

Parade - no coupons.
Belk - three coupons on the cover of their ad
Harbor Freight - A ton of coupons in their ad
Michael's - coupons in their ad (you can also use these coupons at Jo Ann Fabric & Craft
Sears - one coupon on the cover of their ad

Other offers/deals I saw: are on Twitter, follow me! (Anje) I be back this week with a lot of #Spartanburg info, #deal, #coupons and the occasional rant about this or that :o) The tweets are mine and mine alone and represent my thoughts...how's that for a disclaimer? You can #follow me @1of5Hawks after you get yourself signed in or signed up HERE.

Spring Cleaning + and frugal idea = Lint Lizard!

2012-02-08T20:15:00.000-05:00

I just saw a commercial on tv for the Lint Lizard! Mine hasn't arrived yet - but when it does, I'm going to get that lint and dust out of my dryer vent and... according to the commercial, I should notice a difference in the performance of my dryer! Woot! Can't wait...

Here's a post I gave you earlier in the year...if you haven't ordered (or thought about Spring Cleaning) take a moment to read and consider....

******
Have you noticed how the stores have large displays and quantities of home organization and cleaning products. I (anje) think it may be one part subliminal and one part forced... I walk by and hear this screaming voice saying, "Hey! You! It's time to get that stuffed cleaned out and clutter-free. Get clean and organized! Now!!!"

Please tell me it's not just me, right? Some of you hear that same voice, don't you? Maybe it started with my Home Bill Organization binder I told you about this past Monday (you can read it HERE). Maybe it's the screaming voice in my head that I hear when I see those cleaning and organization products.

Either way, when I saw THIS "Seen On TV" product, I knew it could help me get the cleaning done and help me get ready to organize without lint and dust! The LINT LIZARD promises to remove dryer lint from hard to reach places. In effort to get cleaned and organized, I want this year to also be a more frugal year. If reducing my dryer lint will make my dryer dry more efficiently, that helps me save money on that Duke Energy bill, right?

I'm excited to see how this baby works, and even more excited by the potential money savings. If you want the Lint Lizard too, go HERE and read about it. If you hurry, you can get The Lint Lizard BOGO for $10.99 ~ a deal that I am looking forward to! We love inexpensive products that can help us save money in the long run. Don't you?

Order yours and let's compare notes soon, okay?

When coupons and life collide

2012-02-08T15:22:00.008-05:00

This was originally published in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal in December 2010. It sums up my life right now!

Twice in the last week I’ve been caught shopping without coupons. Exposed. Yes, friends and co-workers have encountered the coupon girl in the checkout line at Ingles with nary a coupon in sight, not even a little coupon organizer for show. It happens.

Oh, I have plenty of coupons. Most of them are in a nice, neat pile, still unclipped with the inserts, on one of my kitchen chairs. The rest are in my car. And my coupon binder is organized to the tee – filled with expired coupons. Life gets in the way sometimes.

If you’re a serious couponer, you know that couponing can take a lot of dedication: gathering coupons every week, clipping them, organizing them, researching the deals, making your lists, shopping and then actually redeeming those coupons. The rewards for your efforts include big savings, free items and the ability to help others by providing for extended family members or donating extras.

Couponing is mental work, too. Which stores double? Which ones have reward programs that give you store money? Which store has the best deal this week on frozen veggies? During our Saving in Spartanburg coupon classes, one of my partners, Anje, likes to ask if everyone’s brains are feeling squishy yet. She’s only half-joking.

So when you’re overwhelmed by a stack of coupons and your brain is feeling a bit squishy, what’s to do? I’ve learned that it’s okay to slow down on couponing from time to time. Once you know the systems, you can pick and choose the deals based on what you really need and whether you have time to go to more than one store.

Remember, the sales cycle is your friend. Most groceries go through an eight- or twelve-week cycle. If you miss a great sale on something, it isn’t a tragedy. Sales will cycle back around in a few weeks, so you likely haven’t missed the chance to score a deal. Coupons will come back around, too.

Having a stockpile also helps if you need a break from couponing. When you have a pantry fully stocked with food, paper products and personal care items, you can skip on those purchases for a while and “shop from the pantry.”

When you have 12 boxes of cereal in your cabinets and plenty of meat and vegetables in the freezer, you can probably get by without doing any “big” shopping for a while. Stick to the basics and just fill in the gaps while taking a break from coupons.

Low prices can be found without coupons. Sometimes a great sale is good enough on its own, coupons or not. During the holidays you can stock up on baking supplies at good prices, plus stores like Aldi usually have low prices all the time, particularly on produce, coupons or not. You could also buy in bulk at a warehouse store.

If you are momentarily overwhelmed by a busy stage in your life or by couponing itself, remember it’s always okay to take a break! Deals will wait; life won’t.

CVS changes coupon policy...and it's BETTER! #Woot!

2012-02-08T09:49:00.000-05:00

Take a look! This is exciting news:

CVS has updated/changed their coupon policy. Usually when a change is made, it doesn't serve us (the couponers) better, but it's time to do the #happydance!

You can read the policy HERE - and you'll want to print a coupon and keep it in your coupon box or binder, just in case any questions should arise.

The best part of this change, is that you can NOW use a buy one, get one free coupon on a BOGO sale!!! What does that mean? Well, it means FREE! As in Two items for FREE! See why we are excited?

Say CVS runs a sale on Tide or Gain detergent. The sale is a BOGO and you have a BOGO coupon. Without a coupon you would pay 1/2 for each product or get one free when you pay full price for the first. Now, add the coupon and you don't owe anything!

Rock on, CVS! We here at SiS love you!!!!

Happy Dance for sure! And...
Saving In Spartanburg
