OK, I thought since it is Friday, we would be a little more mundane than usual. I figured maybe I could share some information that I've found elsewhere that would be useful to you.
First off, there is a website that you may have heard about but perhaps haven't checked it out yet. It is called The Grocery Game. Now, if you don't like to save money then go ahead and skip down in this post. My frugal friends and I are going to chat for a minute.
I have recently discovered this wonderful site. I have friends that have been a part of it for years, and have saved so much money that it makes your jaw drop to hear about it. It does cost money to be a member, but you will save way more money than it ever costs you. You can actually sign up for a 4 week trial for $1. I won't try to explain everything about it here. They have a terrific how-to guide on their site that is a must read before starting. Basically, they track the sales and the coupons, put them together and give you a list for your chosen store(s). Then you shop based on the list and save tons of money.
I won't spend a lot of time regaling you with the tales of my recent shopping experiences. I will say that I have gotten more free food, cleaning products and toiletries than I ever thought possible. I was skeptical going in to it, but I am a full-fledged, bona-fide believer now. My one tip is to be organized. I recommend a binder with zipper pouches for the coupons you clip. That was a tip that I took from my friend, Anna. Thanks, Anna!!
Anyway, visit The Grocery Game now if you are tired of paying too much for your groceries. Oh, I lied - I'm going to give you two more tips. Clip all the coupons - even the ones for stuff you don't normally use. If you can get the stuff for free and you don't want it, you can always donate it. Also, in addition to your grocery store of choice, sign up for CVS and/or Walgreens. You can save lots with these stores. You don't believe me now, but you will thank me later.
On to my next recommendation of the day. If you read my post on patience the other day, you saw that I was having some pretty frustrating problems with some technical stuff on my blog. I have to say that my new best friend Vin at Beta Blogger for Dummies saved my life. No, really, I was about to pull my hair out, and Vin saved me from being a very unattractive bald woman. If you want to tweak your Blogger blog and need the code to do it. This is the place for you. He was even nice enough to e-mail back and forth with me until we solved my issue. Thank you, Vin!!
OK, that's about all the time I have for today kids. In the infamous words of Houston's own Marvin Zindler - "Have a good weekend. Good golf, good tennis, or whatever makes you happy!"
