Kellogg's Gas Rewards arrived
Remember this? On April 4 I told you about buying 90 boxes of cereal and getting 30 gallons of milk for free AND submitting for the Kellogg's Gas Rewards Card Rebate. My rebates arrived! They come in the form of prepaid MasterCards and are good on more than just gas. There's still time to get the Rewards Card. If another great Kellogg's cereal deal comes up, I will let you know. Keep in mind, you do not need receipts, just UPCs from select Kellogg's cereals.
Still time for 2 FREE collage prints

Hurry--you have until 11:59am Central Time!

Easy Hard Boiled Eggs
My kids love hard boiled eggs and I boil up a dozen or so per week. It doesn't matter what color the yolk is, my kids throw it out, but for those who care, this is the easiest way I have found that does not produce green/gray yolks.
Place eggs in a pot and cover the eggs with water
Cover pot
Cook on high until a rolling boil
Once rolling boil is achieved, leave covered, turn off burner and set timer to 14 minutes (I do not remove from burner)
Shock eggs by taking them out of the pot with a slotted spoon and placing in cold water
Enjoy!
Fred Meyer: 18 count eggs 3/$5 with in-ad coupon, limit 3
WinCo: 12 count eggs $1.08, limit 4
Safeway: 18 count eggs $1.99 with in-ad coupon (must buy $10 worth of groceries), limit 2
Chuck's Produce: 12 count eggs $0.99 , no limit stated

20 gallons of milk...easy come, easy go
Last week I mentioned getting 90 boxes of Kellogg's cereals and 30 catalinas good for free milk. I'm happy to report that Portland Police Sunshine Division picked up the cereal last Wednesday and yesterday the kids and I took care of the milk.
I made sure to bring my camera to photograph 20 gallons of milk in the trunk of the Honda Civic, but no photos were taken during our fastest trip to Albies--ever. When I purchased the cereal, I ordered 20 gallons of milk, since I was not going to buy out all the 2% milk at Albies and leave them with a big hole in their milk section. The guys at the 4th Plain Albies have made ordering easy--thank you Nate and Johnny! When I arrived at Albies yesterday I saw Johnny right away and he went and got the milk for me, checked me out, and put all the milk in the trunk--incredible service. Thank goodness, because I had two little monkeys that were not in the mood for another of mommy's couponing adventures. After Albies, we made the short drive over to Share House to drop off the milk. Off loading the milk went smoothly and my kids like making deliveries to Share House.
I'm disappointed about missing a great picture opportunity--I may never have 20 gallons of milk in the Civic again! In honor of our great milk donation, here is my little guy enjoying a tasty beverage.

Dinners
Since our financial month started I have not gone to the grocery store.
Monday we were treated to dinner at a friend's and yesterday we pulled out frozen breakfast burritos I made up a few weeks ago. Tonight it was simple baked chicken thighs, leftover potatoes, and canned green beans. Nothing exciting in the Rain household--except for the crazy amount of hail we had earlier!

$75 for a survey--my biggest yet!
The requirements were to answer questions on three specific days for 45 minutes each to earn $75. When I received the actual survey, the instructions indicated you only needed to answer the questions on two days to complete the survey! For me to give informed answers, I logged in three times over two days and spent at least 3 hours reading, listening, watching the information, and providing my answers.
This was the first time I had been selected to participate in an on-line bulletin board survey/discussion. It was interesting, sometimes dull, and in the end completely worth my time. The best part was getting the payment within two weeks!
Opinion Outpost is one of my favorite survey sites. I have earned $124.20 so far. Technically, I have had $95 worth of checks arrive in my mailbox over the past year and I have $29.20 to cash out at any time. Minimum earnings for rewards is 50 Opinion Points, $5 in the form of an Amazon.com gift card, 150 Opinion Points, $15 in the form of a Citi Gift Card. If you like money you can take to the bank, you need a minimum of 200 Opinion Points, $20 to request a check. My first $20 check arrived last May.
Go to Opinion Outpost to sign up.

TLC's Extreme Couponing
This will be my only post on the show regarding extreme couponers. I will never see the show since we cut out cable years ago when we were serious about getting out of debt. However, I cannot avoid the damn thing! Well intentioned folks say, "Meghan, that's your show." "You should be on that!" "When are we going to see you on there?" Never. This show is bad news for couponers.
Last week Coupons, Deals, and More brought up an excellent point about Kroger (Fred Meyer and QFC are affiliated) stopping double couponing in the Houston area after an episode aired. Jill Cataldo wrote an interesting article on 4.6. The follow up article from 4.8 is pretty powerful regarding one extreme couponer's use of coupons. Instead of matching items, the couponer is matching family codes and the computer/cash register excepts them. I'm not sure after 60-some coupons why the cashier never read them to see if the correct product was being purchased or if there was a limit to the coupon. Coupon fraud is serious. What the manufacturer writes on the coupon is what the coupon is to be used for--not the coupon code, if you know how to read those.
As I teach in class, coupon fraud hurts everyone. The stores will not be reimbursed, the managers will come down on cashiers, and then cashiers will scrutinize every little coupon making saving less enjoyable and sometimes down right impossible. I have never had applause for my savings, but it is nice to run into friendly cashiers who understand and appreciate savings.
New coupon coding standards have been in the works for years and coupon changes are coming. More information will be stored on the coupon itself. Aside from being more product specific, coupon codes could become area specific and there goes trading for better coupon values! Although the show may hasten some changes, know that other changes have been on the way for a long time.

Update on JCPenney coupon policy
February 2, I discussed 15% survey codes being stackable with dollar off coupons. That is no longer the case! Stacking is gone, and I have not been to Penneys in a long while....
New month
Our financial month starts on the 10th. Today the envelopes get filled (well, tomorrow if I get to the bank). The grocery envelope will get $100 to last until the 24th and the charity envelope gets $40 to last all month. During tonight's Effective Couponing Class, I pulled out my grocery envelope and showed that there was $10 left from last month. Sweet! The extra $10 will be set aside to be used for a future Zaycon food order.
I'm challenging myself to keep track of exactly what is spent and how my family eats and hopefully this will not horrify me and give others helpful advice.
Dinner tonight was left-overs from last night. Ham, potatoes, and I'm not sure since I was teaching class...probably canned veggies.
After class, I headed to Rite Aid to pick up some Gillette body wash. Gillette and Old Spice is on sale for $2.99 with a $2 +UP, limit 2 per household. Buy 2 and use a BOGO coupon from 4.3 P&G insert. Pay $3.48, including tax, and get 2 $2+UPs. Little money maker. I used +UPs from previous deals to pay and just paid tax with change I had.
The Rite Aid on 136th and Mill Plain has some Gillette and Old Spice body washes in a bin up front! Apparently Wasougal has, at least started the day with, an entire end cap of product. 162nd and 28th is out.
That's it for 4.10!

***No Shelves Were Cleared***
***No Shelves Were Cleared***
I ordered 150 boxes of Crispix, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes last Wednesday. If you know a great deal is coming and you want a lot of the item, call the store and order! Notice there are no Corn Flakes--someone was not told about the order and the Corn Flakes were put out on the shelf. Oh well. This picture shows 90 boxes of cereal, a friend met me at Albertsons and bought what she needed from the order and this is what I brought home.
Out of pocket: $60
What I came home with: 90 boxes of cereal and 30 calatinas good for 1 gallon of milk each
What I look forward to getting back: $50 in Gas Rewards Cards and blessing someone with $40 in Gas Rewards Cards
WTH am I going to do with this cereal and milk: I will keep about 7 boxes of cereal and the rest will be picked up by the Portland Police Sunshine division and 15 gallons of milk will go to Share House
Time invested: forget gathering all the coupons and calling the store to make the order; 2 1/2 hours in the store
Money Maker at Safeway
If you haven't done the McCormick Grinder money maker at Safeway, there's still time. The cat expires 4.10.11, but I cannot recall when the Grinders go off sale.
McCormick Catalina

Buy 3 or more Get $2.50

I like my deal better: pay 27 cents and get back $2.50.
Steakhouse Seasoning Grinders are reduced for quick sale to $1.59 until 6.30.11. The deal only works if you like this kind (my husband loves it) and you have to be able to find it. The Safeway on Mill Plain and 136th, does not have any more. If you find any other flavors reduced for quick sale, snatch them up!

After all coupons and doublers I paid $3.04 for the first order and rolled the cat into the second order and paid $1.04 and still have a $2 cat for later. I could have done 4 orders and made money in cats, but my store has gotten serious about handing over the doubler and they no longer have ads available thanks to a bunch of piglets who took all the ads by Friday of Super Bowl weekend and left the store with no ads Saturday through Tuesday.

Free Hefty Plates and Bowls at Safeway
For those with the Joy of Football coupon book, now is a good time to use the $1/1 Hefty coupon. 50ct plates and 30ct foam bowls are on sale 2/$3 through 2/15. Bring your doubler and they are free. I am not a fan of disposable, but these are great to stock away for next years BBQ season, or, as I am hoping, a chili feed at church.
Update on SW at Mill Plain and 136:
The ad is not available on the counter or in the bin. They are limiting them to one per family due to some greedy-greedy gumdrops last week. Apparently Pepsi products were a hot item and ad coupons were needed--and lots of them. Also, you need to hand over your doublers now. If this rule and the one ad per family stays in place, SW will cut down on multiple transactions. Oh well, RA is across the street and I turn my UPs into milk over there!

JCPenney Trip February 2: $34.49 (saved $429.43)
Many fantastic finds today.
I went in today looking for something, but that item was still 60% off. So, I turned my attention to items that were 80% off or lower. I'm still in awe that a $60 purse was marked down to $2.97-95% savings! I had a 15% off survey coupon that stacked with a $10 off $50 coupon and I set off to see if I could find $50 worth of items that struck my fancy. I found 4 purses marked down to $2.97, 3 boy's tops, 1 pair of "comfy" pants for my daughter, 3 girl's winter coats, and, 2 Elmo sweatshirts. These 13 items came to $50.16. I used the $10 off $50 and 15% off survey coupons to save an additional $16.12. The total was $37.32 including tax (92% savings), or $2.87 per item.How to stack JCPenney coupons here.
a little rant on spending vs saving
Clerks are irritating when they say, "You saved blah blah!" I know they are told to tell you what you saved and you walk away with that amount instead of what you spent as the last thing you hear before the clerk adds, "Don't forget the survey." Sometimes I even hear, "Nice job!" Really? Never would I spend retail on any item in this purchase. The purses were an absolute impulse buy. If I had not bought the purses, I would have bought a few more items for the kids, or maybe made it over to the men's section. For me, I must keep my eyes on the fact I spent $37.32 out of the clothing budget, which is $600 a year (with a little wiggle room here and there). As great sales continue this month (and they will) don't be suckered into a purchase that is out of your budget just because you will save xx dollars. If you don't have the money to spend don't spend it! It's not like I saved $429.43 and was able to put it in the bank--if I could, my husband's student loans would be paid off!

Effective Shopping: JCPenney
Did you know you can stack coupons at JCPenney? The most common stacking uses the 15% off survey coupon and a JCPca$h coupon. Survey coupons can be earned by completing a JCPenney survey. Survey access codes are found at the bottom of JCPenney receipts and are valid for 7 days; the coupon is valid for one month.
You can triple stack a survey coupon, JCPca$h, and a Rewards Certificate: 15% off survey can be stacked with $15 off $75 coupon or $10 off $50 coupon and a $10 off Rewards Certificate.
OR
15% off survey can be stacked with a $10 off Rewards Certificate and a percentage off email coupon or percentage off coupon sent to your mobile phone.
Here's what stacking will look like on your receipt (by the way--you will get some very long receipts if you buy lots of clearance items!).
My receipt contained 13 items and totaled $50.16 before coupons and tax. I used the $10 off $50 coupon and a 15% survey coupon for a savings of $16.12. The discounts do not come off at the very end; instead, the discount is applied to each item.
The item was originally $54: clearance for $2.97. Of the $10 I saved after spending $50, I saved 55¢ on this item. 15% off this item was 36¢. The total cost of this item was $2.06.
I love how JCPenney spells it all out. I know exactly how my discount was applied and if I need to return something, I know exactly how much I will get back.

The item was originally $54: clearance for $2.97. Of the $10 I saved after spending $50, I saved 55¢ on this item. 15% off this item was 36¢. The total cost of this item was $2.06.I love how JCPenney spells it all out. I know exactly how my discount was applied and if I need to return something, I know exactly how much I will get back.

Effective Tool: Little Helpers
Effective Tools are items that I cannot live without. They make my life easier and save me money. The Effective Tool itself my not have been a steal, but there are somethings I am willing to pay for...or put on my Christmas list.
Here are my little cherubs helping with the dishes. They enjoy this job. My son throws a fit when he cannot do this job! I know my little ones will age and lose the desire to help and I see it as my job to take full advantage while it lasts. No! My job is to cultivate their desire to help.
After putting my son down for nap yesterday my daughter saw me bringing the laundry up. I was not in the mood to fold laundry my goal for those few minutes was to put the laundry down and go read the paper. My daughter jumped up and said, "Can I help you fold laundry?" She was so excited and willing to help, so we spent the next half hour folding laundry. Admittedly, a 4 year old is not a great laundry folder, but she can sort and she's happy to take socks and put them away. She is also getting better at righting in-side out clothing--this skill takes a LOT of patience on my part and her part, but she's getting it! I loved spending time with her folding the laundry .

Less Junk in the Trunk
Shopper bag information:
bag size = 17" x 23" = large enough for 3 half gallons of milk and then some I carry two gallon jugs in my bags
ball size = 3" in diameter = the size of a peach they fit in my coat pocket and I keep two in my purse
compacting system = standard non-stretch stuff sack
weight capacity = 25 lbs. = strong enough for a bowling ball or two
material = polyester
double layer fabric handle = comfortable carrying
washing instructions = machine wash cold, drip dry
plastic bags spared = 1,000+
More Flip & Tumble products located here.
I keep a couple large bags for buying a lot of boxed items. The white bag is the large carrying pouch which had 5 bags in it at the time of this picture.What I really love about these little bags is the ability to keep them in the passenger seat so they don't get soaked in the trunk (one day I hope to post on the frugal way my husband fixes the trunk--so far he has replaced the weather stripped and that didn't help).
Tired of bringing home plastic bags with handles that break? Go to jasmere to get in on this deal by 8:59 am Monday!

Adventures in jasmere: Flashbags
I love to shop on-line and get great deals. Since I share these deals, I will also share reviews. Disclaimer: deals I review are not currently available, nor are they endorsed by jasmere or the company in the review.
One of the first jasmere vouchers I bought was for Flashbags: Large tote worth $56 for $24. I was intrigued and thought these would be great for my sisters and mother for Christmas and shipping was only $7.95 shipping for the whole order. Many things were learned during this process. First of all, my picture files were too small, so I had some learning and playing around with my camera’s settings to figure out. Secondly, Laura, the owner of Flashbags, assured me I had plenty of time as of November 30 when I sent in the small picture files and helped me figure out how large the picture file size needed to be. Since I am a procrastinator, being told I had time was not to my benefit. In addition, my beautiful, delightful children will not pose with each other and the other big obstacle was the fact my son was not interested in wearing clothes. Three weeks came and went. I took many, many pictures, but none were worthy of being put on a tote bag. Finally, I acquired three pictures for my Flashbags and sent them in January 2. The turn around time was amazing! The bags arrived 1/12! Now I have three beautiful totes waiting for birthdays so they can be sent to their rightful owners (even though I want to keep them ALL!).
I would order from Flashbags again—especially through jasmere or with a discount code (speaking of which, through 1/15—not a lot of time SORRY since it’s today for most of you! Enter AGIFTFORYOU for 50% off).

Junk in the Trunk: my love of reusable bags
I have been using resuable bags for eons. When I first opened a checking account I began supporting charities that would send a free tote bag as a "thank you." To say I wasted a lot of money on tote bags would be an understatement, but I still have many of them. Over the years my collection has grown and grown. This picture was taken AFTER giving away a bunch of bags. I use my bags everywhere--grocery stores, craft stores, drug stores, department stores, big box stores--if I am buying something, I have a bag!
Even when the bags are piled neatly in the trunk, they still take up room and we have the added issue of the trunk leaking which resulted in a few moldy bags last year. |
| green bag is holding 10 boxes of Fruit by the Foot |
I even ordered the mini shopper for the small panda and her brother since they were taking mine.

Fiber Plus deal at Rite Aid just gets better!
On the 9th, I posted on Facebook, but I will repost now since there is still time to get this deal at Rite Aid. If RA is out of Kellogg's Fiber Plus--get a raincheck!
Post from January 9:
Free Fiber Plus at Rite Aid (actually make money!). Fiber Plus is BOGO free ($4.79), you can use two 70¢ coupons from kelloggs.com pay $3.39, get back 2 $1 +UP rewards, then send in for the rebate (up to $4.49).
Save even more money with THIS coupon for $1/1. You will also get a chance to register, if you haven't already with Kellogg's. From there it says you can take a survey and after the survey you will get a $2/2 Fiber Plus coupon.
Why am I excited by this? Buy 2 Fiber Plus for $4.79, use 2 $1/1 coupons or 1 $2/2 coupon. Pay $2.79 and receive 2 $1+UPs to use on your next purchase--or have a jug of milk ready to go as your next purchase and use the 2 $1+UPs and pay 59¢ for milk bringing your total to $3.38 for 2 boxes of fairly healthy cereal and milk. Submit for the Mail In Rebate Offer: limit request per flavor of specially marked product per name, address or household. The question is then how many flavors does RA carry?? I have only seen cinnamon, but that store was wiped out!
Please keep in mind that the $1+UP per box will also print next week--do not ask the RA employees about it because they do not know. I am telling you Kellogg's cereal is part of a month long food promotion.
Thanks for the info on the $2/2 scrimpy!

A change
I have not liked the hosting site I was using for Saving in the Rain. I even took an html coding class--I learned a lot. The biggest lesson: I will not be writing my own code! The other thing I realized along the way: Saving in the Rain is not going to be a big site and I'm okay with that. My goal when I started was to help people and make some money. I made $40 in Amazon gift cards last year and while being truly honest with myself, I would continue posting if I made nothing. That will not stop me from posting referral links--a girl can try, right?
I have published 270 posts since I started on March 6, 2010. I moved 59 of them over--the ones I really like. I lost all links and most pictures--clearly, there is no budget here for web help! I will continue posting my favorite deals, but will not do match-ups since they are time consuming and you can get them from many, many, many blogs. The focus of Saving in the Rain is on helping others to become debt free. This means more of my own debt stories, posting useful advice, and sharing my lowest financial moments. It's easy to say that at 1am when the kids are asleep!
Speaking of my little ones, I must not let blogging and couponing over take me. It's easy to do, but my true job title is not blogger, it's Hug Giver-Food Preparer-Household CEO-Referee-Owy Kisser-Household Tidy Upper-Sassy Wife-Noise Reducer-Knitter-Believer-Household CFO-Friend-Photographer-Sister-Cake Decorator-Bath Giver-Cat Feeder-Mom-Daughter-Energy Saver-Driver-Degu & Fish Feeder-Lovey Finder-Jungle Gym-Kid Carrier-Money Saver.

Thinking back to a time before we owned the chest freezer is painful! While we lived in the apartment, we had a sub par refrigerator. It was hard to keep two gallons of milk and there was no cheese or meat drawer, so we put in a small plastic 3-drawer unit to hold cheese and lunch meat. The freezer on that thing was sad. I think we lived in the apartment for one year and asked Professor's parents for a chest freezer for Christmas. It was a gift that keeps on giving! Now when butter, cheese, lunch meat, etc gets to my stock up price point I can! Plus there is plenty of room for 4+ loaves of bread that I buy in the clearance section every other week. Of course there is room for other items as well--I do love clearance meat and who doesn't like free Mission Tortillas?
This freezer came to us 3 years ago and has been invaluable. I love it so much we bought it a friend two weeks ago!

SwagBucks 2010 Review
Originally posted January 6, 2011
I have been a Swag Bucks member since around October 2009. Between October and 12/30/09, I earned 4 $5 Amazon gift cards, which I used on clearance toys and magazine subscriptions.
In 2010 I earned 31 $5 Amazon gift cards. $155 to spend on Amazon! I wish I could say that paid for Christmas and everything was wonderful, but it ended up getting spent on some much other needed items.
Cloth diaper liners $20
Growing Vegetables book and sippy cups $16
Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid 24-Piece Food Storage Container Set—2 sets $22
Rigid rechargeable drill battery $51
1-Gallon Lawn and Garden Sprayer $11
Laminator $31 (not sure why I purchased this—one of those late night impulse buys!)
$151 spent on items that I would have bought anyway—except the laminator.
I did have $30 in Amazon gift cards to use for gifts from a survey site, so some of Christmas was paid for in Amazon gift cards!
I do have 12 referrals, of which 5 have 0 Swag Bucks, 3 maxed out at 1,000 Swag Bucks and the rest fall in between. I earn Swag Bucks for referrals who win for searching, up to 1,000 Swag Bucks. From my referrals last year, I earned 8 $5 Amazon gift cards, which is nothing to sneeze at. I want to be completely honest--$40 came from referrals who won from searches and I earned $115 from searches, Swagcodes, Daily Polls, logging into the Toolbar, NOSO, and Trusted Surveys. Will I be using Swagbucks in 2011? Of course!
If you haven't tried Swag Bucks--go check it out. You get Swag Bucks for searches, among other things and you can easily average 450 every two weeks, which is how often prizes are issued. Have fun!

My Love of ReUsable Bags..and a great deal from Swirl
Originally posted December 16, 2010
Eons ago I wrote about Flip & Tumble reusable bags offered by jasmere. It was an insanely great deal on bags made from ripstop nylon. The shopping bags scrunch up into their own pouch and I love them. LOVE them. I love them so much that I ordered a bunch last night...with NO coupons! Shhhh! 6 Shopper bags, 2 Minis (the kids also like my bags), and 1 carrying pouch with shipping for $53.00. That was no deal (but I love these bags!!).
Imagine my excitement while reading my favorite deal sites, when I saw The Coupon Project talking about reusable shopping bags! Swirl is offering NEW customers a $20 credit when you purchase $20 or more with coupon code WELCOME1. Back in August, I mentioned Swirl Sample Sales by Daily Candy, but never ordered since I never found anything I liked and shipping is high. You cannot use the credit for shipping or taxes. Since I already had an account my husband signed up and bought me some reusable shopping bags for Christmas! You can find the Baggu shopping bags under Holiday Shop and then click Stocking Stuffers. I did not just jump into this deal blindly--I googled Baggu and found there price is $22 for 3 bags plus $5 shipping.
Eco-Friendly Baggu x3 are $22 - $20 (WELCOME1) = $2 + $9.49 (shipping) = $11.49 for 3 reusable bags made from ripstop nylon. Shipping is the cost of buying from some of these sample sites. I'm thrilled to get 3 more light-weight reusable bags for 50% off! The purple I ordered has already sold out!
If you are not madly in love with reusable shopping bags like I am, Swirl has many other sales going on--so check it out. Shipping is $9.49 if you order light weight bags or boots. Many of Swirl's items are very limited in quantity, so if you see something you like--jump on it!
Happy Saving!

If you are not madly in love with reusable shopping bags like I am, Swirl has many other sales going on--so check it out. Shipping is $9.49 if you order light weight bags or boots. Many of Swirl's items are very limited in quantity, so if you see something you like--jump on it!
Happy Saving!

Effective Tool: Tools you use

Effective Tools are items that I cannot live without. They make my life easier and save me money. The Effective Tool itself my not have been a steal, but there are somethings I am willing to pay for…or put on my Christmas list.
This effective tool is not so much about having an abundance of spatulas, measuring cups, measuring spoons, or cookie dough scoops, but having the tools you need when you need them.
I bake--a lot. Any chance I get I am baking. When I took the Wilton cake classes, I realized I needed more spatulas--especially when I made lots of frosting colors. Before that it was just of matter of having 3-4 spatulas for scraping batter out of bowls and not wanting to wash them in between bowls, pans, etc. The measuring spoons have been with me for years. When there is baking going on, I use one set for dry ingredients and one set for wet ingredients.
These tools were not bought in one day, it was a slow accumulation. I have always loved to cook. Some of these tools were gifts, some bought on sale and clearance, and some bought with coupons. Admittedly, it is hard to find kitchen items on clearance, but sales are abundant and when paired with a bonus coupon one can get a good deal. I brought spatulas, measuring cups and spoons with me to NY to make my sister's wedding cake (thank goodness I did!).
Here is some eye-candy for you to enjoy!

Get paid to print and redeem coupons--10¢ each!
Originally posted October 1, 2010
I have been waiting to confirm this; I knew it worked, but I wasn't going to pass it on until I saw the money in my account. You will get paid 10¢ per coupon printed and redeemed through InboxDollars.
The e-mails contained 20¢, 10¢, 90¢, and 10¢.
Nothing I like more than being paid to save!
What is this banner missing? GET PAID TO PRINT AND REDEEM COUPONS!
I have been using InboxDollars for a long time. I used them while I was in college and then let my account close while I was in Canada. I opened a new account last year and I do click the e-mails, but I will not waste my time doing the surveys. $1 for 20 minutes of my time is not worth it. Maybe for others who are in the right demographics and are being offered product testing, then the initial offering of $1 is worth it.
You can cash out at $30 or higher. Granted, this does take a long time if you are not shopping through InboxDollars, but InboxDollars has been around a long time, so I don't mind letting my earnings accrue slowly.
I will be reminding people to print their coupons through InboxDollars from here on out! Just keep in mind it will take 3 months or more to see the coupons credited to your account.

A Tasty Cake
Originally posted September 24, 2010
This is what I do when I'm not couponing. My little sister got married last weekend and she asked me to make the cake. Of course! I should not have been so quick to jump in. The wedding was 3,000 miles away from where I live and she does not cook very much. I packed what I thought I would need and figured I would borrow the rest. Right. I was able to borrow some cooking racks since my sister had two 8" round cooling racks, but when you are dealing with a 16" base I was left using cutting boards to cool that part of the cake. I am so spoiled when it comes to baking at home with a Professional Kitchen Aid mixer. It did not occur to me that I would not be able to make double batches of batter or frosting. It turned out nicely, but there was a structural flaw and I made her and the groom cut the cake early so we could take it apart. The cake was chocolate with chocolate filling and coconut frosting with coconut shavings.
What post about a wedding would be complete without a picture of the happy couple (and a frugal tip)?
See the arch behind them? They bought the arch and grew the flowers themselves to decorate their friend's backyard! The arch comes apart in the middle and there were long flower pots at the base of each side--hidden by the other potted plants.

Effective Tools are items that I cannot live without. They make my life easier and save me money. The Effective Tool itself my not have been a steal, but there are somethings I am willing to pay for…or put on my Christmas list.
We started using a sock box almost two years ago. I don't bother putting socks in the kids' rooms--all socks get matched and placed in a box near the shoes in the closet. The time and frustration savings have been amazing. The sock box works for the kids right now since Bear doesn't care what color socks he wears and, although their shoe size is different, the socks fit them both pretty much the same. I always know where the socks are and there is no running up to their rooms at the last minute!
The sock box itself cost $1. Shoe box sized storage can either be found at the Dollar Tree or Big Lots for $1, or wait for a sale. I have seen shoe box storage boxes at both Target and Fred Meyers on sale for $1 or less--no coupon needed!
Effective Tools are items that I cannot live without. They make my life easier and save me money. The Effective Tool itself my not have been a steal, but there are somethings I am willing to pay for…or put on my Christmas list.
We started using a sock box almost two years ago. I don't bother putting socks in the kids' rooms--all socks get matched and placed in a box near the shoes in the closet. The time and frustration savings have been amazing. The sock box works for the kids right now since Bear doesn't care what color socks he wears and, although their shoe size is different, the socks fit them both pretty much the same. I always know where the socks are and there is no running up to their rooms at the last minute!

Couponing for Christmas, or just thinking ahead, I was really excited to see jasmere's latest offer. Currently a $70 voucher is on sale for $29 (59% off) and it could go lower. I have looked at all the customizable items you can get and have decided I can get two gifts out of one $70 voucher. I am really thrilled with the personal puzzles.
Names, animals, kreechers, buildings, transport, plants, and other stuff are all customizable! I wanted to see what it looked like so I entered Scrappy's name and put in a rainbow. Then I made the ship that is below "Scrappy's World" bigger. I can see that making this puzzle will take a while, but I can't wait until she gets it at Christmas! She loves puzzles! Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob, and Veggie Tales are also available!
I also checked out the USA Map Fine Art Print. I put in where we live and Grandma's House. I can definitely see this as a great gift with places of family named. ALL names can be clicked on and changed or moved. Since we have family all over the US, this could be a great gift. The puzzle is $39 and the Print is $29, which would work with the $70 voucher.
Shipping & other details
* New to jasmere? What we mean by "voucher".
* Vouchers will be delivered via email shortly after noon Eastern on Thursday; they will be ready to go as soon as you receive them!
* This is a single-use voucher and leftover value (if any) will not be retained by user

Effective Giving: School Supplies

Although my kids are not in school, I have been purchasing school supplies since early July. Now that I have a nice supply, we will head over to Share House and drop them off. As with any deals, I always keep my eyes open—whether it be school supplies or items to put away for birthday or Christmas gifts.
.:. 14 6-ct highlighters
.:. 1 10-ct Crayola markers
.:. 10 24-ct Crayola crayons

.:. 6 1-subject notebooks
.:. 3 20-ct Crayola washable markers
.:. 15 10-ct pencils
.:. 3 12-ct pencils
I did not keep track of the total cost, but no item cost more than 20¢. Most items were 5¢ or less, some items I only paid sales tax, and a few items were worked into deals that resulted in overage or money back from a mail in rebate.

ReStore Finds
Originally posted August 28, 2010
I do love the Habitat for Humanity ReStore--wish it was closer! The whole family went today--we were looking for door knobs and paint primer. The first thing I saw was two blue chairs. I have been looking for little chairs for the kids to go outside and it's too late in the season to get plastic chairs. These chairs are perfect--stackable and sturdy. Lots of doorknobs to be seen, but not what I wanted--maybe next time. Onto the paint! The two gallon cans are the same light pink color, which I plan to mix with a deep rose miss-mixed, or "oops", paint from Home Depot for the spare bedroom/office. I don't need to be in love with the color, I just need a brighter color--it's currently a flat, dull brown. I found a large container of gray primer, but I wanted a gallon or two of white primer. I also found some stacking bins for the garage for $1 each! Professor looked around at windows and cabinets and a rain barrel. He took measurements on a garden window for the kitchen and some cabinets. As he was measuring the window, I saw a 5 gallon bucket of white primer! This is more than I need, but for $15, you cannot beat the price! And who knows, I may use it all by the time I'm done!
After getting home and measuring the window and cabinet area, we realized we would have to wait on those items. I'm a little sad the cabinet will not fit the space, but there will be more cabinets. A quick check on-line at making rain barrels and where to get materials made me glad we did not jump on the rain barrel that was at the ReStore.
ReStore will be closed Saturday Sept 4 in observance of Labor Day.
