Don't Get Stumped!

Christmas is coming and there is always a mile long list of people you want (or feel obligated) to give goodies to...

Here are some solutions...

There are tons of things that you can get for cheap or free by couponing... I was able to get these Nivea lip glosses for 49 cents each (saved $13). These are a great gift goodies or stocking suffers.

There are cake mixes and cookie mixes that you can give away.... for a cute idea for homemade cookies in a can click HERE (one of my favorite idea blogs).

I know there is also a coupon in the SS for cuties (the clementine tangerines). If everyone gave me those for Christmas I'd be happy! I could eat the whole bag in a day!

I thummed through my coupon inserts the other day to see if there was any extra things that I could use for holiday gift ideas! You might be surprized!

Another thought is that everyone is asking for canned goods during the season... It's a good time to check your stash and give a little where you have a lot (you might notice you won't use some cans before they expire).

If anyone else has good gift ideas that are cheap let us know! We'd love to hear them!

Happy Saving during the Holiday Season!

Stock up deals!

12 boxes of cereal

7 1/2 lbs of chicken

4 bags of tortilla chips

For $14.00 (the chicken was $10.80) So... $3.20 for 12 boxes of cereal and 4 bags of tortilla chips! WAHOO!!!

It's a Rush!

For those of you that are avid couponers know exactly what it's like when you reach the check out line and watch the person in front of you spend 100's of dollars on their few items and then you with your full cart of groceries watch as the total goes from 100's to nothing! It is a RUSH! There is nothing like it! Whenever we tell people that we spend 100 dollars a month on food, toiletries, diapers/wipes, makeup, cleaning supplies, shampoo/conditioner, soaps... etc they can't believe it! (Especially because we don't live off of Hamburger Helper and Macaroni & Cheese!)

Yea for great deals, saving money and getting a rush!
