Fry's Shoppers!

If you are a Fry's shopper, be sure to check your clearance section!

At two of my stores, they have had the Smart Food bags of chips and popcorn marked down to .99 -

They also had $1/1 peelie coupons on them and on the regular priced bags.

I found these in the clearance section, and not with the normal priced ones.

FREE!

YUM!

Does anyone need socks?!

Sears has some 3 packs of ladies socks priced at only $1.99 -

PLUS, you can get an additional 20% off with the code CSO20SEP -

AND, free in store pickup!

*New* Earthbound $1 Coupon!

Earthbound has released a new $1/1 coupon on their website!

Walmart has the bags of carrots priced at only .88, so free plus overage with the $1/1 coupon!


Sorry!

I'm sorry that I have not been posting the latest deals the last few days!  I have been very sick, but am feeling better today.  I should be back into the swing of things today!

So, let's get to saving!

FREE Suave at Walgreens!

This week, Walgreens is offering $2 in Register Rewards when you purchase 2 Suave shampoos or conditioners.  The $1 ones are included!  So, after Register Reward, they are FREE!

*Register Rewards is the Walgreens in-store program.  When you buy participating items, you will receive one at checkout through the catalina machine.  They do have an expiration date.  The can then be "rolled" into another item that produces Register Rewards, to minimize your out of pocket expense.  HOWEVER, you can not use the Register Reward to buy the same product again, as another catalina will NOT print.  And, you can not buy multiples of an item expecting to get the same Register Reward.  You would have to do separate transactions in order get more Register Rewards.

*Please read the fine print if this is your first time using Register Rewards, as there are some exclusions listed on the coupon of what it can be redeemed on.

Now, I know this may seem like a lot to take in for first time users, but trust me, it is easy to figure out and you will love being able to "roll" them once you do.

Good luck!

Check your Target!

There have been reports of Target marking their Dollar Spot items down to 50-75%!

The Dollar Spot in the area located near the front of the store, where they have items priced at $1 or $2.50. There are different colored dots on each tag, and Target will often have one color being marked down.  If there is a color marked down, it should say which color on the clearance signs.

I hope you are able to find this at your store!

What does frugal living mean to you?

Frugal living can mean something different to someone else, but I think there is a common thread among those that live by this.

Personally, for me -

*You live within your means.
*You plan and budget.
*You allow yourself to splurge, within reasons.
*You are always looking for ways to save or make things last longer or go further.
*You take control of your finances.
*You get creative whenever you can, constantly trying to better your financial situation.

I guess that some of these do not necessarily go along with frugal living, but this is how my family lives.

I advise anyone who is just starting to live frugally, that it does not happen over night.  It does take time, though there are decisions you make every day that can change your situation, both big and small.  You do not have to eliminate everything - You can allow yourself to splurge.  But, you have to be realistic about everything and honest with yourself.

Happy saving to everyone!
