Most of your main email's allows you to link another email account to it so you can switch between the two. Here is my suggestion, about giving your email out to receive coupon updates. Set up a dummy email account. an example is if you have a gmail account, set up another one by changing your email by a small way. If you have [email protected], then set up your other account as [email protected]. you are getting your coupon updates. This way it doesn't inter-fer with your main email account. When you want to see what the weekly coupons are, all you have to do is switch to your 2nd email account. Watch your SPAM and TRASH accounts so you don't lose out on ONE DAY DEALS!
Catchy title Yah Think.
According to Reuters recent article; Analysis: Retailers keep inventories low for back-to-school sales {While the U.S. economy has recovered modestly since the financial crisis, median household income is still below where it was before the 2007-2009 recession began, a recent report from Sentier Research showed. Better inventory tracking tools also enable retailers to wait longer than usual to place back-to-school orders. That could mean higher profit margins in the back half of the year as retailers will likely not have to offer as many discounts to get rid of excess inventory. But they also risk not having enough stock if consumers spend more than anticipated.} (For a article, click (http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/14/us-usa-backtoschool-orders-analysis-idUSBRE96D0AR20130714) Pretty depressing stuff. Bottom line if your kids need it you will find a way to buy it. For the coupon savvy person, this just means we have another challenge. Please Challenge us more, we love it. So how many of us have saved enough money..... Never.... that is the coupon savvy person's "Golden Rule". I can guarantee that Target, Walmart etc. are not going to run out of product. That is the oldest trick in the book. Smaller amounts just means that your child will maybe not have the exact new "Something" that every kid in the school has, what is so bad about that. Ask your child, they will be devastated. So what we are seeing is a marketing strategy, to get you in the store, using your child to bring you there. They gotta have it!!!!! Just like that Christmas doll they Gotta have it!!!! You spend hours trying to find it!!! And now they have it, in three weeks, it goes to Goodwill or your local Charity. How to buy and save and still send your kid to school with what they "Gotta Have". Before you go to Target and Walmart to buy that new something they have to have, look for some of the items on back to school list at: Dollar Tree Local Charity, Goodwill, Salvation Army stores. Crayons if made by Crayola or made with off brand name are still crayons. Storage boxes, containers, locker shelves etc., whether bought at Walmart or Target are the same at Dollar Tree just the price of the items. Now with your savings, you can go and get that "Gotta Have!!!." new shoes, clothes with your savings. Get your pencil out and do the math. So where is the Back to School Christmas Presents you say. Well let's see there are items that are pretty good sales during Back to School. Take advantage of the sales on these items, Guess what kids go back to School in January also: are there any Back to School Sale's no. These items can be either stock piled and used during the year, or they can be used as the "Stocking Stuffer" "Give to your Teacher, for that child that is really in need as their parents only have just enough to feed their children. Who knows better than the TEACHER. Here are the ideas, now it is just up to you and the "coupon savvy person" you are already so good at. In Lunch Guy's World. Clipping Coupons
The dreaded job. So if you are like myself you do not just get one paper, you get multiple papers. For us 6 is the max we buy. Let me just state here I am not in favor of clipping services but if you use them that is your choice. I usually will donate my extra coupons to the Local Community Center or Church, for items I am not going to purchase, such as diaper etc. I still cut around them and drop them off. If they get used, that is great, if they do not, then there is no loss. I started out using Paper Clips, well then I was approached by another Coupon user in the store and she gave me a great tip. Use a Stapler and Staples. This is much faster way and less expensive. I take my six books of coupons and I sort them together by page,then I take my trusty stapler and staple the coupons and cut them out and file them in my folder at the end of each book. Quick and Easy. The ones am going to donate, I staple the Top of the batch and donate them. If someone wants a page or a coupon all they have to do is pull the page off. As I stated in my bio, this is supposed to be a fun hobby. Allowing it to stress you out, takes all the fun away. I hope the articles I have posted here will make it a fun adventure. Last year at one Grocery Store my Total Saving for the year was $1,494.54. So let’s do this, to make it more realistic. $125.00 per month. If you made $60k per year, what would you say to an extra 2.5%increase in your salary?

I do like my cooking, but that only comes from using the right kind of equipment. There are some of you, I guarantee that you feel like you are CHAINED to the kitchen. Between setup, cooking, cleaning, I can agree with you that is a lot of work and time. Yet I must tell you that if you have the right equipment in your kitchen, it can be much faster. It is like having a kitchen without a dishwasher. Not having that tool in the kitchen, and you can add hours to your cooking time. Clicking on the above link will allow you to go and shop at Taste of Home. Why would you want to do that? How many Bath and Body washes, deodorants, drawers and socks can you receive for gifts?
Don't forget your young men out there. They are important. I remember my mother giving me a cookbook at a very young age. Who would of known the inspiration it gave me later in life. I started out with cooking as a hobby. The more I learned the more fascinated I became with cooking and the Science and Math that were required that is what we hear daily how far behind we are in those two subjects, how much more fun to learn while you create.
