CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Additional reductions on the lowest prices allowed me to save between 60-90%. I felt purchasing $385 in gifts was a great idea~provided I spent only $95.

$142. for only $19.

Taking advantage of the weekly sales ad paid off with an 86% savings. I had coupons for everything except the Gatorade. The majority of purchases on that deal's shop are included in the photo.
I also received register coupons for a free movie rental, 75c off a child's snack, and a $2. discount off my next order.

WILL YOU DO MY SHOPPING?

This is one of the frequent questions I receive when teaching the coupon workshops. I joke that no one could afford me if I charged ~ but that I will teach you how to save as much (or more!) than I do. I did a favor for someone special, matching her diaper rain checks with soon-to-expire coupons. I added surprises, most of which were free with coupons. The most 'expensive' additional purchase (milk) cost 99 cents. Three catalina coupons from the register were a bonus. Less than $44. was spent on this shopping extravaganza, so her personal shopping consultant saved over $100.
I just love spending other people's money.

STOCK YOUR PANTRY

A well-stocked pantry will save money, in addition to time. Time savings will translate to fewer headaches and less stress.

Food that can be prepared quickly will eliminate the convenience (and high cost) of takeout. Some of these snacks may not be the healthiest but are acceptable in moderation, preventing money spent at a fast food drive thru. A backup bottle of laundry detergent is worth its weight in gold if you do not have your favorite. I stock all brands when I find a good price for gifts and donations. I use this one as an ingredient for my pretreatment spray. Fast dessert treats will be welcomed by a busy mom or your new neighbor.

I spent less than $8. here. So stock your pantry when you find a deal or two.
Here's to less headaches and stress everyone!
