Produce-ing Savings
Produce and fresh meat are often the two most expensive things we buy on a regular basis. Milk may be included depending on your state (ME for instance has a minimum price law which makes couponing it down in price illegal). There are ways to get these budgetary items to cost less though. Coupons While most coupons are for frozen produce, there are sometimes coupons for fresh products, especially brand names. Frozen produce is also a great thing to have on hand since it doesn’t have a...
Read MoreYear End Rebate Madness Wrap Up
So last night I spent a couple hours going through my stack of receipts from the end of the year (September to December roughly) to match to rebates I need to get filled out, copied/scanned and mailed out. It took ages to sort them. First I pulled the ones that had items I needed for rebates. Then I sorted them by the rebate so I made sure I had all of them covered. The good news is I only didn’t buy a couple rebates worth of stuff (firelogs and a produce item more than $3). Which means I...
Read MoreThe Two Faces of Couponing in Maine
I happily live in Maine. I live on the border so I have the option of shopping in New Hampshire as easily, and often more easily, than in Maine.

Which means if Coors or Bud or even Sutter Home offers a rebate good in Maine I can not buy the alcohol and still get my cash...

I went through my coupons last week and picked out all the ones expiring 12/31/2009. What a haul I have stored away and so little time to use them. I’ve weeded through to use the ones I know are good deals, but alas many will get shipped to the troops instead. Along with the coupons expiring the deadline for many rebates is upon us. Which means lots of last minute buying to round out amounts and get them in the mail next week when USPS is back up and running. The good thing is many of the...
Read MoreNeed vs. Want
In today’s still crumbling economy, it is a rat race to get to the good deals. Many people seem to think that they are entitled to buy thirty of something since there are thirty on the shelf, even if its the last thirty in the store. Still others think they can judge you for taking ten of those thirty items, since as a single adult you can’t possibly use ten, even if there are twenty left for the next shopper and more out back beside. It seems everywhere I turn there are rude...
