From Ginger's Heart
You might be thinking that it seems too complicated or hard to intentionally try to get deals with coupons, rebates, etc... but let me share something with you.
As I have had to change everything about our expenses in order to live on one income, the one thing I missed the most was being able to give more.
Couponing has helped give that back to me in a small way.
For example, I may not have cash but if I shop really smart, I can give things that cost very little but can be special, useful and practical!!!!
Isn't this a cute gift!!!! I made this up for one of the ladies in church that has been in the hospital and sick.
Flowers are nice but they die, candy is good but stays on you :o) --- but Olay soap, body wash and lotion ---- woooooo now that's the way to treat somebody. LOL!!!!!!
Now, just to let you know, I have about $3.00 in this gift. shhhhhhhhh - don't tell.
Hoping this encourages you to Shop Smarter, Not Harder, Ginger

Dollar General
70% OFF at DG.
I stopped at DG on Snow Rd. today and they had a sidewalk sale 70% off. Coupon flyers in the front of the store!!!!!
I bought:
Cute quilted vest - $2.40
Boys 2/pc outfit - $2.25 (nephew has a birthday party this Saturday)
(2) Monthly calendars - .30 & .40
(3) Hormel Micro Meals - $6.00 but used (3) $1 coupons - $3.00
(1) Dr. Pepper - $1.00
(1) Cheetos (wanted to buy (3) but when the 2nd coupon beeped noticed that the back says (1) coupon per person per DAY!!! I told the girl that was okay, I would just take (1) and the manager standing there told me to just do (2) more transactions. How nice!!! Agreed that it was rather silly to make you come back to use a coupon, should have put a limit 2 or something on it. Anyway, they were very busy so I just did (1) more transaction on another. Very nice store!!!
But a big bag of CHEETOS for a $1 wooohooo, kids will be happy, those things are outrageous.
Anyway total paid was $11.40 --- saved $22.59 with sales and coupons!!!!
They also had several items throughout the store with coupons on the products, Glade plug ins, Oust spray, 50% off clothes, 25% off hardward, etc..
Good time to go check out the deals at DG!!
