Quick Beginner Couponing Tips!

Check out some of my favorite coupon sites, and get the newest coupons to save YOUR family more money on groceries!

You don’t have to be a couponing expert to save money. Start small:

Check out these sites, and find coupons for products you KNOW you’ll be buying anyway.

Add them to your store reward card or print them out and clip.
Put ’em all in an envelope, make a list on the front of which coupons you’ve got, and make sure to pick up those items while shopping.
Hand your envelope to the check out clerk.
See your savings add up!
It really is that easy peasy, I promise :)

So, here are some great coupon sites you can use to get started:

I’m sure you’ve heard of Coupons.com, they’re a big one. Browse through their selection, and print out your favorites.

Cellfire is a really cool one that I’ve become a big fan of. You simply choose the coupons you like, and then add them right onto your store reward card. Then they are AUTOMATICALLY applied to your purchase, without needing to clip and carry any coupons at all! Some stores even let you stack these on top of your printed coupons!

Sunday Coupon Preview is a really cool site, it allows you to get a “sneak peek” at the coupons coming that out in the next Sunday paper. Very cool, check them out!

RedPlum Coupons is another really great site for printable coupons. I find a lot of our favorite brands here!

So, go and check them out, and discover which sites will work best for YOUR family. And if you have any other sites to suggest, leave me some comments!

Two Great Photo Deals to Choose From!

Have you used Canvas People to get a FREE canvas yet?

This is the print that I got of my daughter… The quality really impressed us, and I am SO glad that I tried them out!

The photo is printed onto the canvas, and you can add different finishes or techniques if you’d like to jazz it up a bit. Then the canvas is stretched around a frame, so that the picture wraps around the sides, which looks really cool.

It even comes with a package with everything that you need to hang it, as a FREE bonus!

Right now you choose between two different deals at Canvas People. You can get the original 8×10 canvas FREE, or upgrade to a larger size, or add other stuff like sepia tones, and get a FREE $50 credit towards your final price.

These are SO worth getting, seriously. I get compliments on my print EVERY time someone comes to visit, and I’ve gotten a couple of these to give as gifts too.

Check them out and get YOUR free print too!

A Girls Guide to Grilling!

One of my favorite sites, Learnvest, has another great daily tip today!

Wanna taste?

Tossing a low-carb spinach salad? Sure.
Preparing a healthy chicken meal? Sounds good.
Grilling meat out on an open fire? We’ll leave that to the men—or will we?

Let’s be frank: Cookouts are delicious. And grilling just so happens to be healthy and inexpensive. But almost 70% of grill buyers are male—and that’s not OK in our book.

We’re pretty confident that not all women are afraid of fire (or unable to flip items on a grill), so we’re chalking this phenomenon up to social stigmas.

HOW TO LOOK HOT WHILE SIZZLING YOUR STEAK. READ ON….

Yep, just a taste. A little tease of how great the daily tips at Learvest are. So go on over and check out the rest of the article!

It has some great tips:

How to save money by getting only what you really need.
How to cook safer by using your microwave. {Who knew?}
How to properly use heat and oil.
And more!
