Rule #1: StockpileStockpiling vs. Need Shopping:To get the most bang for your buck you have to change your mindset about how you shop. Stockpiling is buying more of an item than you need, but only when it is free or at a rock bottom price. As your stockpile increases, you “shop” from there when you need something, instead of running to the store and paying full price. This concept alone will

Frugality is a mindset. It is not just chasing down the greatest deals with a coupon. It is a way of living. When I decided to be a stay at home mom, and go from two household incomes down to one, we had to find some major wiggle room in our budget. And that brings me to the first frugal thing I do.We have a BUDGET. Honestly, we always thought we had a budget. But just recently, with the help of

Change is soon to come to Frugality. A slighty new approach to my frugal presentation. In the meantime, please visit my friend Leah at Metroplex Savers. She was mentioned on NBC this week!

Thanks to a heads up from Leah at Metroplex Savers, I found out about this great money maker at CVS. Basically these $1.97 CVS brand crackers are producing a $1 ECB. There is a $3 off CVS brand printable coupon that makes them free. To learn more go HERE and to print the coupon. I bought 2 today, and still haven't reached my limit. Act quick, the coupon expires 1/17!

A quick heads up! Albertson's has their half gallons of Schepp's milk on sale again for $.99, the best price I've seen. Combine that with the coupon in yesterday's paper for $1.00 off 3 Schepp's and they become $.67 a half gallon. And you can freeze those babies! This advertised sale ends Tuesday (tomorrow).

The last few weeks I have picked up some cheap cans of 100% pumpkin on clearance. I've been poking around on the internet trying to find some new ways to use this vitamin rich stuff. I had heard rumors of using this as a substitute for oil and eggs in baking. Well, guess what?! This is absolutely true. And with 0 grams of fat, 50 calories and 3 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup, you can really get

In the DFW area, Albertson's has Shepps milk half gallon's on sale for $.99 until Wednesday. This is a great price even whithout a coupon. However, there is a coupon in the 11/16 SS (smartsource sunday paper coupon insert) for .50/1 half gallon of Shepps. Albertson's will double this coupon, which means you get free milk! There is a limit of 4. I picked up 4 today! (Sorry, no pics.)Stockpile tip!

Right now you can get 70% off your order at Coldwater Creek online with code WXH6446. It looks like this can be combined even with clearance deals. Be sure to check your favorite rebate website to see if you can get an additional percentage back. I checked Ebates, and Coldwater Creek is not listed with them. So, I am going to shop through goodshop.com and a percentage of my total will go to the

Walmart still has the Green Giant Steamers on rollback for $1. There was $1/1 coupon in the 11-16 SS. It expires on Jan. 10. So, if you have some of these coupons to use, do it now! At my Walmart the peas and mixed veg were clearanced to $.75!Happy Shopping!

YouData.com is a fairly new marketing company that pays you to look at websites from a host of different companies. I have been using it for a couple of months and have earned $3-$4 each time I have checked my account for new ads. It is fast and easy. And they pay directly to your paypal account.

Right now Restaurant.com is having 80% off their gift certificates. This means you pay $2 for $25 gift certificates. Remember to go through ebates.com for an additional percentage back.

Hello Dear Friends! I am finally back on the blogosphere. We came back from Hawaii last Saturday and my internet was down. I had to replace my modem and didn't get that done until yesterday. I am sad to say I completely missed out on Black Friday (I missed you CVS!) and Cyber Monday isn't looking to hopeful for me either. Our ministry is having a huge dinner and auction on Monday, December 8th.

These vibrant flowers have been blooming in my sunny Texas flower bed all summer. And I am no gardner. Last year a friend gave me a bloom that had tiny black seeds all over it with instructions to sprinkle them in my flower bed. So, that is what I did and promptly forgot about it. Then in the spring, I decided to plant impatients. About the time my impatients couldn't stand the heat any longer,

Go to the Barnes and Noble website here to print out your coupon for a free tall-sized latte, cappuccino, espresso, freshly-brewed coffee, or hot tea (up to $3.20 in value). This coupon can only be redeemed once per customer but I assume that means each person in your family could print and use one. The coupon is good through October 31, 2008. (Thanks Money Saving Mom!)

Target:Target has released $1 off coupon for baby carrots, which happen to be on sale for $1.29 in our area. Some areas have them on sale for .99! But I am happy with .29 a bag. Print as many coupons as you like from the Target website under grocery or from Hot Coupon World's coupon generator and stock up on carrots. You can actually freeze carrots if you plan on cooking them later. Go ahead and

Right now at Albertson's (and I bet soon to be Kroger's) if you buy the Glade Scented Oil Plugins for $4.99 you will get a $4 catalina back toward your next purchase. My suggestion is to buy in multiples of 2 and use the BOGO coupon from 9/28 SS. Pay $4.99 and get 2 $4 catalinas. For every coupon you have you will be making $3! I find it easiest to go through the self checkout.Other than that,

Walmart shopping is something I don't do much of anymore. However, I just came across some good deals I thought I would share. There have been many $1/1 coupons for these Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers in the last 2 Sunday papers. There are many printables as well. At Walmart they are priced at $1.23 a bag as an everyday low price. So .23 after coupons! Muir Glen Organic has $1/1 printables on

I tell people when they first start couponing/deal seeking that they can save hundreds off of their grocery budget. Then shortly, they want to know how much my grocery budget is. And I am happy to tell them, because I want to encourage them as to what is possible. My family's grocery budget is $200 a month. Now, don't feel sorry for me! My pantries overfloweth!! That is for a family of 3. If we
