Get your Sunday paper and start clipping

www,sundaycouponpreview.com Is where I can see how many coupon inserts will be in the Sunday paper.  I get the paper delivered to my home and if there are good coupons I will buy some extras that day.  This Sunday there will be 4 coupon books so I will buy 3 additional papers (4 papers total, 4 people in my home).  I cut out every coupon even if I know I will not use that product just in case I can buy that item with overage, the store would be paying me to buy the item.

Enjoying the mall

I used to think shopping at the mall was just throwing hard earned money away.  I looked at the tag on clothes, roll my eyes and walk right out of the store.  I look at the mall different now and I like going to the mall for many reasons.  The best part is you can get a lot of stuff FREE at the mall just by doing some homework before you shop.  We do not have a mall where I live so it is a nice change when I am in the city.  Most mall's have a kids play area that is free and after walking around for hours it is nice to put your feet up and watch your kids burn the rest of their energy. 
My cousin will be a first time Dad in just a couple of months so I will be doing some shopping for the new baby this weekend.  While I am at the mall I will be picking up some items that I found great deals on this week.
VICTORIA SECRET - I downloaded a coupon for a free ruched back panty with any purchase.  I also have a coupon $10 off a pink bra.  They have a special going on right now 2 for $32.  With my coupon I can get 2 for $22 and a free panty. 
BUCKLE - 50% off necklaces.  I found several necklaces for $6.99.  If I buy two I can get one free.  Three birthday/ Christmas gifts done and I am only out $14.  Now I have all year to think about who to give them to.
DISNEY- I love going into the Disney store with my kids.  Even if I am not buying anything it is fun to look around.  Right now they have a good deal on sleepwear,  2 for $24 .  They also have Phineas and ferb sunglasses for $1.99, that will put a big smile on my Son's super cute face indeed.
FAMOUS FOOTWEAR- Now that winter is over they are doing a clearance on all winter boots 70%OFF I found a cute pair of boots for my Daughter for $15 I will just buy the next size up and we will be all set for next year.  If she happens to grow a lot and they do not fit her, I have a niece that loves shoes.
DILLARD'S- spend $32.00 (I need some makeup so this will not be hard to do) and receive a free Lancome gift.  You choose the bag and 6 lancome items to put in the bag. You receive more free merchandise then you spend, love when that happens.
BATH AND BODY WORKS - Here is the best deal.  Buy 3 signature collection products and you get 2 free.  Just for buying a signature collection product you receive a free tote and 10 full size items inside that tote.

Getting back to what I am good at..... saving money

I have been through a lot these past couple of months and I am working every day to get my life back to the way it used to be.  I am putting more time and energy back into my coupons and it feels great.  Just wanted to share today's savings with you.  I shopped at Fry's, Safeway and CVS.  I spent $43.96 and saved $136.57 ($35 of that was from coupons and the rest was for using my store cards for in store discounts.  I am  happy when I save over 60% so this was excellent!
I bought 9 boxes of cereal, 5 boxes of cream cheese, 4 large tubes of tooth paste, 2 bags tortillas, 4 boxes of frozen pizza, two bags of chips, 2 bottles of salad dressing, 4 boxes of cookies, crackers, dole fruit cups, 2 pounds deli turkey, 2 deodorants, 15 lunch ables, 3 grill seasonings, 8 Greek yogurt, 2 16oz sour cream, 2 mayo and one pack of gum. 
I also took advantage of Safeway's hallmark card deal they have right now.  I bought 3 cards (have to be over 1.49 each) and received $5 for my next visit.  When I checked out from all of my stores I ended up with $8 to use on my next purchase so I actually bought all of my groceries for about $35 after tax.
