While I was looking through the sales brochures today,
I came across one item at Walmart that will be free.....(many others, but that is for later)
The Rollback has been going on for a while in the stores, but this is advertised, so all the Walmarts should now be the same.
This is the picture of the brochure:
I was able to use my coupons from the H...

Today, I went to Target for some last minute Christmas shopping.
I had to make sure that our Puppy would have a stuffed stocking hanging in front of the fireplace.
While I was there, I decided to get some free stuff.
Rayovac Alkaline batteries are in the $1.00 Ise and I used the $1.00 coupon from the 12-7-08 Smart Source to get the batteries for free...

This is a deal that I had not planned on finding at a Kroger that I do not shop at regularly.
It is Vitasoy Organic Soy Milk in Chocolate - six pack of 8.5 fl oz each.
On Manager's Special for $1.00 for the whole six pack!
It is marked with the pink breast cancer ribbon and I had passed by the clearance isle not expecting to find anything interesting at all.

I would like to give a big SHOUT OUT to everyone I met at Discovery Green in Downtown Houston these past two weekends. I had a great time and I need to share a story with you.....
While I was at this event, I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people.
Don and Jane are just the best! Brandy was there handing out First Aid kits for the blog MomHouston that I contribute to on Fridays. Well, Brandy (a cheerleader from Dulles High School) was handing out these kits all day, and a group of men (in there late to mid 60's) came by and sh...

I will be at The ICE at Discovery Green Holiday Skating on Kinder Lake from 2 to 4 p.m. presented by the Houston Chronicle.
Come with plenty of questions about couponing and I will be happy to answer them all.
I will be at the Houston Chronicle Booth directly across from the skating rink by the spray fountain. It will be a fabulous day so come on downtown and have some winter fun!
There are plenty of things to do, such as Ice Skating for the entire family.
How fun is that? In Houston? I really can not imagine an outdoor skating rink, but it is lots of fun and a great way t...

One way to save money is to buy when items are Free or nearly Free.
Here's how to create a stockpile of food and household items without going crazy.
1. Identify the items you would like to stockpile.
Some examples are toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, deodorant, laundry detergent, facial tissue, shampoo, conditioner, razors, frozen foods and canned food...

These are some very basic tips on coupon etiquette.
1. Be Nice
To the cashiers and to the people in line behind you.
Remember this is the cashier's job; they are only doing what they have been trained to do. If there is a problem, politely ask to speak to the manager on duty. They are more likely to hear your complaint if you refrain from using questionable language or being too loud.

The price book
One of the most helpful things you can do if want to save money at the grocery store is keep a price book. Very simply, it is a book, spiral notebook, spreadsheet or piece of paper on which you record a list of the items that you buy most often and the best prices that you find in the grocery store.
