Good food and money saved





A wonderful day

There is something to be said about good friends. 

What a JOY!!!!

Spending time with friends who have the same values, beliefs, and love for others as you do is rewarding all in its own, but to create wonderful, tasty, and completely homemade Tamales - Bonus!

COUPONS

 

I have been (big) couponing for almost 10 years.  Recently I have been asked again on how to get started. So I will give a brief how to get yourself going for the next week.

I look at every dollar saved as less work for David, who is the primary provider in the home.  If there is a way to save I'll look it over.  I try to never, ever pay full price for anything.   (OK- emergencies do come up, but those are special occasions). 

So back to couponing:  Even if you don't carry a binder of coupons and are just trying to save a dollar here and there - there is money to be saved. 

Coupons can be found online, papers, magazines, pullies (on items being sold), and offered at stores (there are more, but this is where most people get their coupons).  Look at the coupons available to you. If you never look you wont use them and them won't save anything.  If you use something that you have a coupon for keep that coupon.  Look at the other items, have you tried them?  If you are willing to try new items cut those coupons and keep those too.

Items I rarely pay for or pay very little for:
deoderant
toothpaste
toothbrushes
shampoo
conditioners
