WANT MORE COUPONS?! (see UNDER $1, and CHEAP sections below)

*FREE KRAFT B-BQ SAUCE (make 2 cents on each bottle!)
*EASY MAC CUPS – 2 for $0.78
*SHELLS & CHEESE DINNER - $0.98
*BAGELFULS – 4 for $0.88
(all coupon information in sections below)


There is a limit when you print them off on Coupons.com – BUT…
You can get MORE of them by: Typing Kraft Foods in the search engine at the top of the page. Click on the first link (KraftFoods.com) – then click on Coupons at the top of the page – it will ask you to register your email address, but then it will open up with all the Kraft Coupons and let you print them again!

ALSO – you can get more coupons IF you get on a different computer, type in Coupons in the search engine above, and click on the first link (Coupons.com). Print another batch of great coupons!

COUPON TIP:
Print ALL the coupons for ALL the items that you use – even the ones you don’t need RIGHT NOW. Coupon matching is an art – coupons are good sometimes for 2-3 months – but are only offered to GET for a short period of time. Go ahead and print them now, you may see that item on SALE in a few weeks, or may be in need of that item before the coupon expires!

DID YOU KNOW:
That individuals in the military can use your manufacturer’s coupons up to 6 MONTHS after they expire?! Check at your local church to see if they are collecting for them, or type Expired Coupons for Military in the search engine box at the top of the page for more information
!

SHOPPING ONLINE - SAVE BIG $$$!

LOOK FOR ONLINE COUPON CODES - Type in "STORE NAME coupon codes" in the search box at the top of the page - Retail Me Not is one website that has GREAT coupon codes to enter at checkout. I scan these websites frequently to check for big % off , and/or free shipping.
I often find Kohl's coupon codes for 30%, and additonal free shipping - I then go to Kohls.com and scan the clearance and sales items - I get items for 70-80% off retail, AND get them delivered to my house for free!


WALMART is a great place to shop online for non-grocery items!! Not only is it more convienent to shop here online, you can browse a bigger selection, and get FREE site-to-store shipping! So you don't have to search for what you want, and then wait at the checkout - you can walk in and pick it up!

RUBBER BILLS - THE WAY TO SAVE HUNDREDS OF $$$

Your bills aren't set in stone! That's right, you can pay LESS! Shop around for the things you have an option to change - insurance, phone, cable/satellite, etc.
Example: I decided to shop for a new satellite provider. I found Dish was a LOT cheaper than DirecTV (our current provider), so I switched! Not only am I getting the exact same programming for $30 cheaper a month - but they are also having a promotion where I will save $50 a month for the next 6 months!
So I will save $480 in the next year - and lose NOTHING!

WANT TO SAVE $1,500 A YEAR?!

FREE...SAMPLE...COUPON...
These are all words that have become music to my ears since I started trying to "improve" my spending!

If you are like me, you see things better as numbers, especially when you can translate those dollars into things:

Yes, that sample of toothpaste will only last a few brushes! If you value that at $0.50- and you get a sample a day worth that - you have an extra $182 at the end of the year!
That's at least a few nice meals out!

Sure that coupon is only worth $1 - but if you save $10 a week in coupons, that's $520 a year! That could help fund your family vacation!

And my favorite...FREE. For example, let's say that you get all the free things in my post below, and we will value it at $15 (between freebies and samples). If you could keep that up each week, that's $780 a year!

So let's say you implement all these things...samples, coupons, and FREE...that's $1,482 a year - almost $1,500 that you could have in the bank - or to HIT your debt with!

Do I have your attention now....??
Check back frequently - I will add new freebies, coupons, samples, and tips all the time!
Add this website to your FAVORITES by clicking *Favorites*, then clicking *Add to Favorites*, name it what you want to save it as, and click *Add*


**Feel free to comment on posts with questions or suggestions!**

FREE....SURE SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

CURRENT FREEBIES - CHECK BACK DAILY- I WILL POST EVERYTHING I FIND!

WHAT IS BETTER THAN CHEAP MOVIES....FREE MOVIES!

FREE MOVIES!
What beats Blockbuster's $5 per movie? Redbox's $1 a movie! What beats that? FREE Redbox codes to get free movies! If you haven't heard of Redbox - its a movie vending machine. They have them all over the place now - at wonderful WalMart, McDonald's, and Walgreen's.
Redbox has a few codes that you can enter in the 'promo code' section that will take off the $1 charge for the movie that night.
These codes are only good for that one night. If you keep the movie longer, you will be charged $1 per night. And you can only use each code once per credit/debit card. But you can use all three codes one each credit/debit card, if you have three cards, that's 12 free movies! Not bad!
These codes are:
BREAKROOM
ICY
REDBOX
DVDONME
I have tried all of these codes, and they have worked for me! I have used them on different credit cards and gotten even MORE free movies!
Not sure where one is near you? Go to : http://www.redbox.com/Locations/KioskSearch.aspx

**Redbox is also doing FREE MOVIE MONDAY once a month - they will give a code once a month on a Monday that is good for THAT DAY ONLY. I will post the code as soon as I get it! Check back for them!**

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND

"Duh"...That was my first thought when I actually got this concept. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND. Not just think about WHAT you are buying, but the difference between WANTING and NEEDING something. It is a simple, common-sense concept, but hard to do when you are trained to 'pull out the plastic'.

Sure that shirt is ADORABLE... don't you have one like it in your closet? Yes, it's on sale for $20! But...do you want to go $20 more into debt (or $20 less OUT of debt) for it? Yes, of course you NEED the latest electronic gadget...or do you?

STEP 1 to Stretching YOUR Dollar (yes, that's right, YOU worked for it!) is Thinking Before You Spend...

*This issue is a mindset, and you must get the right mindset before you can take action!*
