New Month = New Coupons

Excitment in the house as the month rolls around and the new coupons are released.  Ok - maybe it has been a very long day.  Still, there are some amazing coupons released today at Coupons.com.  I am excited the $1/2 Kraft Cheese has been reset.  I love $1 cheese and cheese freezes very well.  I am not kidding here!  I freeze bags of shredded cheese and then pull them out the night before I need them in a recipe!

Grab the coupons quickly as some of them may run out!!!

Also don't forget about loading up your store cards with electronic coupons from cellfire.com and shortcuts.com.  I always get a kick out of the "extra" amounts taken off my bill at the register!!!

Free Milk Coupon

This link will take you to Why Milk? which is currently running a contest and giving away free milk for a year.  If you register for it, you will see a link to print a coupon.  The coupon is for a free gallon of white milk with a $100.00 purchase.  That should not be hard to hit (pre-coupons) this week at Kroger's!!!

Happy Shopping!

A Non Frugal Shopping Experience

Here is the perfect example of a non-Frugal shopping experience and what you do not want to do!!!

We changed our New Year's plans at the last minute and decided to go to a more kid friendly party. I saw my friend leaving work and asked if we could bring anything (his wife had said no the night before). He got a smile on his face and asked if I could bring a dip I had made last year.

Opps - I did not think of that. So at 10:00 tonight I ran to the store to pick up the items I did not have (almost all of them) and $20.00 later left the store depressed and swearing never to leave my house without coupons - again.

Coupons are a big part of what I do to save money. However, I need to remember that shopping and planning ahead will also help me stay frugal!!!
