Coupon Love

So, this is my second post about buying coupons. Crazy, yes. A great money-saving tool? YES! I bought two Sunday papers once, but there aren't many that I would actually use two of. But what about those great coupons for things you LOVE and you would use 7 to stock up! Well, here's how you get them. mycouponhunter.com.

Here's an example of what you'll find:

	$1.50/2 Dole Salad Blends exp 7/17/9
	Our Price: $0.15

For example, I bought a few Lean Cuisine coupons from her, since I knew I would use more than one. The total price is similar to what you would spend on an extra paper, yet the coupons are more tailered to your needs, plus, no cutting! =) Happy Saving!

Betty Crocker

So, I know when you get one of those weekly emails from some company you usually click "delete" without even reading what it has to say... well, one spam-mail that I enjoy is Betty Crocker. They have really great recipes, and they're usually really cheap. Sometimes they even say how much $/serving. It's worth checking out! And don't forget, if you hate getting this kind of mail in your personal/work mailbox, create a totally new email meant just for extra things like this! Then you don't even have to check every day, just when you have time to get to it.

Gymbucks!

If you're a mom, you've heard of/purchased from Gymboree. Great clothes, affordable (I still pretty much only buy sale items =)). Gymbucks is an awesome way to get some money back- for every 50 bucks you spend, you get 25 "Gymbucks" so that the next time you spend $50, you can use 25 Gymbucks towards that. Essentially 50% off! Even better, you can get 30% off EVERYTHING May 14th-17th! Full price & resale items. Who says kids can't have adorable clothes for cheap??

Use this code at checkout: GYMCIRCLE

Enjoy!

freecycle

Ever had anything you would rather just give away then deal with selling? Check out http://www.freecycle.org/

It’s a great website that allows you to give away items, get items, even request certain items. When I found out I was pregnant with Harrison I was single and a live-in nanny. I knew in order to get everything I wanted for my kid I was going to have to settle for used items. Little did I know how wonderful and easy it is to do that! Kids things, like swings, highchairs, etc. don’t always get used all that much. Families are done having kids, but their stuff isn’t done being used! It still has a lot of life left. Think of how many parents go to Toys R Us, spend $150 on a swing, and their kid hates it and it gets used 5-10 times? Their loss can be your gain!

My husband and I got our changing table from freecycle.org. It is AMAZING! It had a few blemishes on the bottom shelf, but for free, I’m not complaining!
There’s lots of other stuff besides baby things- give it a try!
