Barter with coupon deals!!

I have shared some ways couponing has allowed me to give to someone else. See that post here.

Well, I also can use my couponing to pay for services -- here's how.

I have a friend that comes over to my house to cut my hair ---- I'm spoiled, I know. She will never take money, so off I go to my STOCKED area and pull some Olay Body Wash and Dawn w/Olay Liquid. She liked that and I was able to pay her in a great way.

Couponing works, so be encouraged, Ginger

Funny Coupon Story!!

I was in Wal-Mart to get dog food. I know, I know, what in the world was I doing in Wal-Mart?
Well, I usually go to PetSmart and use their sales and rewards but I didn't have time -- so off to Wal-Mart I go.

While checking the prices with my coupons, a lady came over and just grabbed a HUGE bag of Purina One brand food. As this was something I would have done in the past, I could not resist RUNNING HER DOWN to give her a $3 off coupon from my stash. I was like, excuse me, ma'am, uh, excuse me ma'am!!! She was so grateful that she said that she was going to get another bag. There she goes, putting another HUGE bag of dog food in her buggy. I COULD NOT resist, I pulled out another $3 coupon and handed it to her, gave her a card for my blog, told her it was totally FREE and off she goes tickled as can be. She saved $6 ----.

I do this all the time -- it is such fun!!!!

Do you have a funny coupon story to share?

Keep it simple and give when you can, Ginger

Yay for Lowe's



Good job Lowe's!!! Went to Lowe's for the ferns and my $10 coupon was for TOMORROW!! Oh no, what to do?

I kindly asked if a manager could go ahead and give me the coupon today and the GREAT cashier named Martha said she was already going to make it work for me!!!!

Give Martha a Saving From The Heart thumbs up the next time you are in Lowe's Garden Center.

Remember, Shop Harder Not Smarter, Ginger

God sent me a coupon!

As you know, I have been pricing ferns in our area for Easter decorations at church. Well Lowe's had the best price for the best ferns so I was heading out this morning. On the way out, I check my mail and guess what was there????

A Lowe's coupon for $10 off $50 purchase. wooohooo!!!! I love it when God helps!!!!

SHOPPING FOR FERNS

Thinking about buying some ferns? Here are some prices in our area.

CCs Produce (Semmes) $10.97 hanging -- very pretty, full

Wal-Mart (Semmes) $10.00 hanging ----- not pretty, very brown, ugly

Lowe's (Airport & Shillinger) Sign $8.97 (was told over the phone $7 so I will need to confirm price) --- very pretty, full, gorgeous

I think I will make an almost Semmes trip on this one and go out to Lowe's, especially since I need quite a few.

Let me know if you find a better price!

Winn-Dixie - Easter Plants

Are you looking for some Easter plants for this weekend?

Also, if you buy (8) at WD you can get them at 10% off ($6.29 each and NO WALMART SHOPPING!)! Ask for a fresh box of plants (come in boxes of 8) in the back . Be careful when you cut them open --- add a little water and wait for the blooms. They should be perfect by Sunday.

Have any questions? Ask for Amy -- wonderful Winn-Dixie employee, very helpful.

I have always found Winn-Dixie to have great customer service.

Sunday School Challenge

Well isn't it a busy time right now? We are planning, shopping, cleaning and preparing for Easter, Spring break and so many things right now.

What about you?

In Sunday School this week we were talking about preparing ourselves for Worship. Worship of the Mighty God that is our Strength and Savior!!!! What do we need to do to prepare for worship?

We spend so much time doing the physical activities to prepare our home and families for this time of year but what are we doing to prepare our own HEARTS AND LIVES for worship?

Our Sunday School challenge this week is to wear a red string on our wrist to remind us to stay in God's Word, pray, seek God's favor and to examine any fault or sin that needs to be confessed, brought to God through repentance and pray and dealt with.

I want to encourage all of us to wear this reminder and prepare our entire mind, body, soul and spirit to eternal things of TRUE WORSHIP OF AN ALMIGHTY GOD THAT IS POWERFUL TO SAVE AND DEFEAT DEATH THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF GOD HIMSELF IN JESUS CHRIST.

What are some ways you balance what needs to be done with making sure our hearts and lives are pure before God?

HAPPY EASTER WEEK EVERYONE AND I PRAY BLESSING ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THIS WEEK, GINGER

SHOPPING FOR TRIPS AND PLANS!!

Every year at this time things seem to happen all at once.

Next weekend, we will be celebrating the RESURRECTION of our Lord, Jesus Christ; taking a family trip to the beach and celebrating Kasey's birthday while there.

How does someone do all this on (1) income and one-fourth of that income right now?

I don't know!!!!!! but I have to. So here is the plan so far......

We have rented (1) condo and will pile in together (5) adults and (5) kids. Cost only ($65 per family)

We will cook all the meals --- each family will provide (1) main meal for a day. Snacks and sandwiches between.

We are planning (1) outing, which is going to be putt-putt this year. We spend most of our time playing games and enjoying the beach.

Now, here is the Saving From The Heart part::

Coupons found for Putt Putt here. Kids play FREE with (1) paying adult.
(5) adults pay (5) kids FREE!!! THIS SAVES US $43.00!!!! YAY FOR COUPONS!!!

Pirate Island Putt Putt has a FREE picnic area, see here. Perfect for a birthday party while we play.

I am going to make a dirt-cake found here in a pot (Kasey wants gardening stuff, go figure) - this will give her a pot and will decorate the cake too. Add some gummie worms and she will be happy!! I have a $4 off $20 purchase at CVS & a $3 ECB from last week, so I will probably check out their items for what I need. I will post my purchases so we can see how I did.

I found a nice table cloth on clearance for $1.25, add some Vanity Fair napkins and plates that I can use coupons with AND get a rebate on here. (Vanity Fair napkins on sale at Walmart for $1.97 --- see here.)

Corndogs with chips and dip are on the menu ------- EASY AND SIMPLE!!!

Throw some drinks in a cooler of ice and voila!!!! We have a very frugal birthday party blowout, family vacation time and then we get to come home and celebrate the provider of ALL THINGS, the LORD, JESUS CHRIST!!!!

I would love to hear some ways that you plan when you have several things to do and need to save money????

Just making these plans is getting me so excited. I can't wait for Easter Sunday!!!! Yay!!!

Praying for everyone to have a blessed week in the Lord, Ginger

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!

Whew, had a busy day --- My Uncle Bill was buried today. I used to love to go to Uncle Bill's house. He lived right by the "swamp" in Florida and he would always make our time fun. Fishing, playing in the water and looking for alligators !!!!! Good memories, I will miss him.

Went to eat with mom. Have you ever been to Neighbor's in Tillman's Corner. They have huge fried shrimp. Yum!! I'm still full.

Then -- the finale. We went to the almost Semmes mall. Remember, I told you about that here. Well, I bought Kasey (5) cute shirts for -------- $15.00 total!!! Yay!!! This was great considering I had just bought her a new shirt at Cato for $15.99!!!!! YIKES!!!! Oh well, it's her birthday tomorrow so we decided to splurge. I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS TWELVE!!!

So, if you get a chance, you might want to go the almost "Semmes Mall" and see what they might have for you.

Happy shopping and keep it simple, Ginger

FAMILY CHRISTIAN & SEMMES MALL

I am planning an "almost Semmes" trip for Easter shopping. Wanted to share these Family Christian coupons here.

Also, have you been to the Semmes mall lately? You know, the Dirt Cheap at Moffat and Howell's Ferry!!!! Well right now they have TONS OF CLOTHING marked down $1, $3, $5 and $7 clothes. Here are some tips when you shop the "mall" in Semmes.

* Dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes
* Use the restroom beforehand (JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE OKAY)
* Come prepared to take some time to go through the clothing --- this is not a quick trip!
* Check out the garments REALLY well for any DEFECTS!
* Check the little store tag to match the price color on the signs.
* Be prepared to sort through lots of racks to find that special something!!!!

While we are on Semmes shopping, don't forget to check out the Semmes outlet center. It is called the Goodwill Store on Moffat Rd. @ Shillinger's. Here are some tips for shopping the Semmes "outlet" store.

* Frequent the store (1) time a week or at least every (2) weeks to see what's new.
* Get a blue reward card that can be stamped for every $10 purchase you make.

* Be on the look out for NEW items.

I recently splurged on a couple of things at CATO --- WOW, the prices are outrageous!!!!!

I can go to the Semmes "mall" and "outlet" and buy several items for the price of (1) at the "real" stores.

AND that is exactly why I shop this way, so I can splurge every now and then and not feel like I have wasted a fortune in the closets of my home with clothes purchased and not worn. If I pay a few dollars for something--- no big deal --- but, if I pay $15 or $20 AND ONLY WEAR IT ONCE OR TWICE --- WEll, you know!!!!!!

What about you? Are you a splurge shopper every now and then too?

Happy shopping and keep it simple, Ginger

WHY NO WALMART?

You may be wondering, why not Wal-Mart? It's in Semmes?

I just happen to NOT be a huge Wal-Mart shopper. As a matter of fact, I will purposely stay out of Wal-Mart and I find much better deals with store sales, coupons and rebates at other places.

Wal-Mart does accept clipped coupons as well as internet coupons. You can view their coupon policy here. Wal-Mart also will price match ads.

That's about all I can say for Walmart, so if you shop Walmart, make sure to use coupons to save money.

While I may have a Wal-Mart post here and there, I will not post Wal-Mart weekly deals.

Are you a Wal-Mart shopper?
