Last 2 weeks shopping trips.

This trip cost $70. Not too many deals, but got lots of fruits and veges. I did get 4 packs of Brat's for Ben for $7 after sale and coupons. The 2 soft soaps were free after coupons. Each yogurt was $1 after sales and coupons.

This shopping trip took place last week when Ingles had triple coupon week. On this trip I had the cashier ring everything up before she scanned my Ingles card, and the total was $146. After she scanned my card, it came to $102, and after all of my coupons the total was $61.57.
I splurged and bought Boston Butt for $10 (less than $2/lb), and I bought Tyson chicken tenders for $1.97/lb. I got each Minute Rice for $.62/box, pringles for $.65/can, Quaker Chewy Bars for $1.50 /box, Capt Crunch Cereal for $.50/box, Nature's Own bread and bagels $2/each, Cottonelle tp $1.22/pack, VIVA pt $.50/roll, Scotties facial tissue $.50/box, 9 boxes Totino's Pizza Rolls- FREE, 5 bags of BirdsEye Steamfresh veges for FREE.

I'd say I got a pretty good bit of food over the last 2 weeks for $131!

My $57.74 shopping trip

This week I shopped at CVS, Ingles, and Publix

At CVS, after coupons and ECB's, I spent $3.49 oop and got: 1 package of Huggi's Goodnights, 2 nasal saline drops, Skittles, 2 gummy bears, Garnier Fructis hair treatment, Children's Tylenol, Children's Tylenol Cold, Children's Motrin, and Sudafed PE.

I spent $40.50 at Ingles. Most of the items were Ingles brand. I also got 2 lbs of ground turkey for $1.98 each, and 10 lbs of potatoes for $2.00.

My New Year's "Revelation"

As I was laying in bed the other night, tossing and turning, near anxiety attack, until 3:00am, I realized that I was definitely the one trying to control my life. And it obviously was NOT working!

I’ve always had some control issues and I like to micro-manage everything. I know in my head, that I need to give God complete control over my life, but how to do that is the question. So finally, in desperation, I told God to take the control from me, I did not know how to give it up, but for Him to show me how and guide my decisions.

A few days earlier I had been watching Joyce Meyer. Her talk that day was “The Grace of God”. (Go here to see the episode.) One statement really spoke to me: Grace, is the power of The Holy Spirit, coming to us free of charge, to help us do with EASE what we could never do ON OUR OWN with any amount of STRUGGLE and EFFORT.
WOW! My life right now does not seem to be happening with ease, but definitely is a struggle and taking a lot of effort. I feel as if I am on a treadmill, working as hard and as fast as I can and getting absolutely no where. I definitely need to give up the control. And although, I definitely don’t know how to do it, I know through lots of prayer and reading God’s word, He will show me how.
Here are some other points that really spoke to me from Joyce’s message.

1 Peter 5:5 says: Likewise, you who are younger and of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers and spiritual guides of the church)--[giving them due respect and yielding to their counsel]. Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, [b]so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride and arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)--[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble.(A)

We (I) need to humble ourselves (myself) and stop trying to do things independantly. Say to God, I need your power and grace, I cannot do this on my own.

Works of the flesh = FRUSTRATION

Matthew 11:28-30 says: 28Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will [o]ease and relieve and [p]refresh [q]your souls.] 29Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest ([r]relief and ease and refreshment and [s]recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.(E) 30For My yoke is wholesome (useful, [t]good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.

If I’m frustrated I’m out of the will of God, b/c God is not the author of confusion or frustration.

Worry= If I try hard enough I can figure this out.

God doesn’t give us grace ahead of time, He gives it to us fresh every morning, what we need for that day. (I have a constant problem of trying to plan the future, what I want to happen next week, next month, next year.)

The minute we feel frustrated we need to realize that we have gotten into some works of our own and we need God to work in us.

1Peter 5:10 says: And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

I’ve exhausted all my own effort, I realize I can’t do this on my own. God I need you to help me.

James 4:6 says: But He gives us more and more grace ([a]power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it).(B)

Bible verses from The Amplified Bible.

Here is an old post I did on how I organize my coupons, hope this helps.

It took me months to figure out a way to organize my coupons. I tried many different methods, and today I will show you the one that I finally picked. This may not be the best for everyone, but it works the best for me.

First, I get all of the same inserts together and I separate all of the pages.

Then I stack each of the like pages on top of each other.
Next, I staple each of the coupons.

Then, I cut them out and put them in my coupon box.

My coupon box is actually a photo box that I had. It came with category separators, and then I added envelopes for each subcategory. For example, I have a separator for Cleaners and the envelopes within that category consist of air, all-purpose, laundry, dishes, etc.

This makes it very easy to find and organize my coupons.
I would love to hear feedback on your organizing method.

Spending Less

Check out this great guest post on Money Saving Mom ,"It's not about how much we save, it's about how little we spend."

Saving Money in 2009

One of the biggest changes my family has made to save money is to make a grocery budget and stick to it. I can't tell you how many years, we aimlessly threw money away at the grocery store, buying what we are buying now, but not paying any attention to the sales add or using coupons. We have now made it down to $60/week. I alotted more in the beginning while I was getting used to decreasing our budget. The $60/week includes food, paper products, toiletries, cooking supplies, pull-ups, wipes, medications, and personal products.

How, you may ask, is it possible for a family of 4 to live on $60/week? It really isn't all that hard with some work and dedication. I have learned how to shop frugally from some of my favorite blogs (see my sidebar).

Here are some of the shopping tips that help me out the most:

I buy multiple copies of the Sunday's AJC and keep mostly all of the coupons(see my post later on how I clip and organize these),

I look on blogs that post sales items for the different stores and matching coupons;

I am familiar with the different stores policies, for example-

Publix and Ingles double all coupons that are a value of $.50 or below,

Publix accepts any competitor coupons(Target, Ingles, Food Lion),

At CVS, Publix, and Ingles if an item is 2 for $5, for example, you don't have to buy two items, you can only buy one and pay $2.50,

At Publix and Ingles, if an item is BOGO (buy one get one free), then you can only buy one if you want and pay half price, you can also use 2 coupons if you get 2 items.

When something is BOGO and I have coupons that double, then I can get the item very inexpensively. When this happens, I usually buy 5 or 6 for what I would have paid for one full price. This way I can stock up and not have to buy that item for a while.

I usually also have a price in mind that I will not pay over for a product, such as $.30 for Betty Crocker boxed potatoes, $.30 for Uncle Ben's rice, $1.98/lb for ground beef, boneless chicken, or ground turkey, $2.00 per 8oz of cheese and so on. I usually also get all of my Green Giant frozen vegetables for free! A good idea I have found, that I plan on putting into practice, is keeping a food log with the prices of a certain item from different stores, that way I can keep track of what store usually has that item for the cheapest. With so much going on these days, and so much to remember, this log will definitely help out in the memory department.

I hope these tips really help and feel free to ask me any questions!

Do you have any money saving tips you use at the grocery store that you would like to share? Please feel free to do so!

Publix deals 01/07/09-01/13/09

Here are the deals and coupon match-ups I found this week. I don't keep track of which ad the coupons came from like the other sites, but if you keep all your coupons each week, you should have them. These probably aren't all of the deals, go here to search for more, just scroll down to Publix.

Remember Publix:

doubles coupons up to $.50;

accepts competitor coupons;

if something is on sale $5/5, for example, you can buy 1 for $1;

if something is BOGO, you can get 1 for half price, and use 2 coupons for 2 items (1 for the buy one and 1 for the free one.)

CVS deals starting January 4th

Go here to see some of the upcoming CVS deals.

Last weeks $90 shopping trip.

Not my best shopping trip by far, but I haven't really been shopping in a few weeks and I had to buy breakfast items for Sunday School, so I let myself go over. I wasn't planning on going this far over though. I spent a total of $90. Next week I will have to cut way back.

CVS

This was done in 3 transactions. I paid 3.06 out of pocket, used $12 in coupons, $33.93 in ECB's, and earned $24.95 in ECB's. I made a mistake though and the only reason I bought the items in the first picture is b/c I found 9.19 in ECB's that were going to expire on 12-27-08 and had to use them that night. So technically, I would have come

out even in ECB's had I known, but I came out $9 ECB's below what I started with.

Publix

Grand Total OOP=23.65
Total Savings=55.23(24.34 stores sales and 30.89 in coupons)

I paid $.99 for each Frosted Flakes after coupons, $.10 for each Betty Crocker potatoes, $.45 for each can of veges, $.40 for each jar of pickles.
After coupons I paid $2.00 for the Covergirl foundation and received 3 CG lipsticks, 1 pack of Revlon emory boards, 1 Revlon file, and one Revlon finger nail clippers for FREE.

Ingles

Grand Total OOP=62.98

Total Saving=38.59

I paid $.25 for each frosting, $2 for each cereal(I usually never pay more than $1), $.35 for each yeast packet, $1.18 for Pure Vanilla Extract, $1.50 for Skippy PB, $.99 for each package of lunch meat. Not a whole lot of great deals. And looking at my receipt, I realized I was overcharged $5 for the TP b/c it was on sale.

Hopefully I will do better this week!

Publix deals 10-29 thru 11-04

Remember at Publix they take any competitor's coupons (ex: Target, Food Lion, etc.).

For BOGO items, they charge 1/2 price for each item, so you only have to buy one if you want, and you can use a coupon on each item.

They double all coupons up to $.50.

FYI: I have found that sometimes I can't print some coupons in Internet Explorer and I have to open them in Mozilla FireFox.

These are the deals that I thought were the best, see the ad for all the deals.

Read this e-mail from Dave Ramsey

We are at a crucial time in our country's financial history. Congress defeated the $700 billion bailout plan on Monday. However, they are revising it and trying to push it through again. I'm supporting an alternative plan that will keep our nation from going even deeper in debt, and I've been on TV and radio all week telling people about it.

We need everyone's help!

3 STEPS TO CHANGE THE NATION'S FUTURE

Follow the instructions below. Together we can change history.

1.PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS!

Pray for them to resist a spirit of FEAR and to embrace WISDOM. Even if you don't like them or agree with them, pray for them and tell them you are praying for them. There is a spirit over this problem that must be broken. Also, most of the media personalities are afraid as well and that is affecting their reporting. Pray for fear to be removed from them; they are making this worse.

2. SEND THE COMMON SENSE FIX

Send The Common Sense Fix to your Representatives and Senators and tell them how you expect them to vote, and that if they put this nation in $700 billion of debt, that you will vote them out. It's their job to listen to us! (Whichever presidential candidate or political party that champions this plan from their leadership down will likely become the next president. That is because this plan fixes the crisis while going along with the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.)

1.First, read this page (PDF)
2.Next, copy the info on this page (text file)
3.Send it to your Senators and representatives by copying and pasting the text in the web form you're sent to.

*Note: If their websites are down, that means we're making a difference! Keep refreshing the page until you get through. You can also go through Congress.org, though we don't endorse this site.

3.TELL OTHERS

Forward this email to everyone in your address book and tell them to urgently follow these 3 steps TODAY. The more people we have supporting this and contacting their elected leaders, the more likely we can turn our economy around!
