<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. <b>Read those labels!</b> Protect your clothing so it lasts as long as possible. Many sweaters and delicate tops should line dry. In the summer, invest in a good clothes line. My family uses an Amish pulley system line in the warmer months which you can find at most hardware stores.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Almost all of my sweaters should lay flat to dry but it's hard to find enough room to lay them all out! I discovered <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/sweater-drying-rack/1010214963?Keyword=sweater+rack" target="_blank">these handy drying racks</a> from Bed Bath & Beyond for only $9.99 a piece. Stack them up to save even more room!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. <b>Take care of your delicates!</b> Take care of delicate articles of clothing in the washing machine with <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tide-Wash-Bag/15913609" target="_blank">lingerie</a> and <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tide-Bra-Bag/15913608" target="_blank">bra bags</a>! Tide makes some really nice bags that you can buy at Walmart for a great price. Place your bras and other delicate items in the bags for the washing machine (who has time to hand wash?!). This will prevent your bras from warping as they whir around and also prevent the hooks from getting caught on other articles of clothing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BwnPYH7F0XQ/VR_kNOcYecI/AAAAAAAAAVo/jxYKW2b80k0/s1600/bra-bag_300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BwnPYH7F0XQ/VR_kNOcYecI/AAAAAAAAAVo/jxYKW2b80k0/s1600/bra-bag_300.jpg" height="320" width="268" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And...if you're throwing all your bras and tights in the dryer, stop now!! The heat will break down the elastics and also cause pilling. Lay your bras flat to dry; don't hang them by their straps as this will stretch them out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. <b>Cut down on supplies!</b> Detergent is concentrated so you don't need a lot. Unless you have particularly dirty clothing, you can safely halve the recommended detergent amount and your clothing will get clean just as well! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To really save money, stop using fabric softener entirely. My family hasn't been using softener for years and our clothing gets just as clean and fresh. While softener doesn't technically lessen the life of your clothing, it isn't really needed either. Detergent alone (especially a good one, like Tide) will clean your clothes well. If you can't part with your softener, at least don't use it on towels!! Fabric softener breaks down the absorbency properties in microfiber towels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cut your dryer sheets in half! We still use dryer sheets to repel lint (and dog hair!) and control static in the winter months, but we've started cutting them in half to get twice the life of our dryer sheets. Plus, half a sheet works just as well as a whole! We buy Costco's Kirkland fabric sheets: 2 boxes at $7.99 for a total of 500 sheets. After cutting them in half, that comes to 1,000 sheets at $0.008 a sheet!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's a look at some of the deals this week at CVS. You can really score big with Starbucks and Gold Emblem snacks after coupons! My mom and I both did a transaction to get everything. This is probably our last "big" haul for the summer as we're pretty much stocked up for a while!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't do a detailed breakdown of our transactions, but you can at least get an idea of what deals you may want to try this week. We combined the coupons listed below (Note: I bought 2 of today's papers) with previously-earned ECBs and coupons from the CVS Coupon Center.</span></div>

This is an easy way to get great money-saving offers delivered right to your mailbox! No clipping required! Recently I contacted a few companies: <a href="https://www.oreida.com/en/contact-us" target="_blank">Ore-Ida</a>, <a href="http://mccormick.custhelp.com/app/ask/session/L3RpbWUvMTM3Njg1ODkxNC9zaWQvMm1DOVE1eWw%3D" target="_blank">McCormick</a>, <a href="http://chobani.com/who-we-are/contact/" target="_blank">Chobani</a>, <a href="http://www.bigelowtea.com/contact-us.aspx" target="_blank">Bigelow</a>, and <a href="https://www.turkeyhill.com/contact/contact-us.aspx" target="_blank">Turkey Hill</a>. Within a week I had gotten response emails from some and coupons in the mail from all of them! Success! Here's what I got:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UsTyjQfi3ec/UhEz5gGoLWI/AAAAAAAAAQE/TjWylcNbYPw/s1600/IMG_1454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UsTyjQfi3ec/UhEz5gGoLWI/AAAAAAAAAQE/TjWylcNbYPw/s400/IMG_1454.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(4) $.75 off any Ore-Ida product</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(2) $.75 off any McCormick Grill Mates item</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(1) $.75 off any McCormick item </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(4) FREE 6 oz Chobani Greek yogurt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(1) $1.00 off any box of Bigelow tea</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(10) various Turkey Hill beverages and ice cream product coupons</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The company links above will take you directly to the company's online contact
page where you can write them a short complimentary note. Here's a few tips on contacting companies for coupons:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. Be honest and friendly. Never lie or give false praise to a company; it's dishonest and rude. However, if you truly have a complaint about a product, let the company know! They have those contact pages for a reason! Just do it with kindness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. Thank/praise
the company for the products that you use and like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. Try to note a specific
product (or flavor, size, package, edition, etc.) that you especially enjoy. Chances are, they will listen to your input and keep that product on the shelves!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">4. Kindly inquire about sending you coupons.*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">5. Provide your mailing address. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">6. Re-contact the company every month or so. From my research, I'm finding that most companies allow you to contact them every 30 days for coupons. I know for a fact that Turkey Hill does this.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">*Some
blogs will tell you not to specifically ask for coupons, but rather wait
to be "rewarded" with them for your kind comment. Well, I do not follow
that rule! I come right out and ask if they would provide me with any
money-saving coupons! I've studied some marketing in my courses at college, and from what I'm learning, I believe companies would love to have you ask for coupons if you ask in an honest, gracious manner. A consumer has greater odds of buying a product if he has a coupon for the item...sorry, I don't have the stats for that one readily available ;) ...so why wouldn't a company want you to have a coupon for one of their products that you already love? They're pretty much guaranteed the sale!</span>Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17956887058639644281noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778164646360484737.post-49984023769652039072013-07-25T11:42:00.003-07:002014-06-14T10:50:54.461-07:00CVS | 7/21/2013 - 7/27/2013<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I did some other deals this week, but these are some of the best ones I found!

We saw that most of the dorm stuff was on sale this week, and we just got a Target flyer in the mail with great Target store coupons for dorm supplies! It looked like a great week to start stocking up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I also recently discovered Target's mobile shopping app, <a href="http://cartwheel.target.com/home" target="_blank">Cartwheel</a>. You click on the offers you want to use, bring your smartphone or printed Cartwheel to the store (you don't have to use the app; you can just use it from online at home), and have the cashier scan the one barcode for all the items you selected! It's a pretty easy app to maneuver and figure out. So, before our Target trip, I selected all the offers I wanted to redeem such as, 10% off dorm bedding and 10% of Schick razors. The cashier scanned the barcode from my phone, but for some reason the offers didn't come off. I took my receipt and phone over to the customer service to see if they could help me out! They were extremely friendly and helpful, and didn't know why it didn't work (I'm hoping it works in the future!!), so the Target dude from customer service graciously figured out all my <a href="http://cartwheel.target.com/home" target="_blank">Cartwheel </a>savings manually and handed me over $8.00 in cash!! Woohoo! It's totally worth it to take the 5 min trip to customer service when you have a coupon dilemma ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, enough blabbing.....here's how we did! [Note: I will calculate the <a href="http://cartwheel.target.com/home" target="_blank">Cartwheel</a> savings after each item, although we got the cash back in a separate "transaction," and ignore my cat's ear in the photo...]</span><br />

I've been looking for a versatile leather cross-body purse and am a HUGE <a href="http://www.fossil.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/HomeView?langId=-1&storeId=12052&catalogId=25005&N=0" target="_blank">Fossil</a> fan (I even have a Fossil pillbox, hehe), but did not want to shell out almost $200 for another purse. I recently got a new app for my phone called <a href="https://poshmark.com/" target="_blank">Poshmark</a> where you can post items you want to sell and purchase items from other sellers. It's basically an online yard-sale! I searched for Fossil cross-body purses and found a fabulous one listed for only $20!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjkiqt3A_yc/UY7RotRUe7I/AAAAAAAAAOM/wptPXuJCTiA/s1600/IMG_0692.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjkiqt3A_yc/UY7RotRUe7I/AAAAAAAAAOM/wptPXuJCTiA/s400/IMG_0692.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I would have been pleased to pay the $20 (plus shipping costs), but I
realized that if you got a friend to sign up for <a href="https://poshmark.com/" target="_blank">Poshmark</a>, both you and
the friend received a $5 credit! So...I shared the app with a bunch of
my iPhone-using friends, and eventually built up $25 worth of credit in
my account!! After shipping costs my total came to $26.99, so by using
the credit my total came to a whopping $1.99! I don't think I could do that well again! If you're an iPhone/iPad user, check out <a href="https://poshmark.com/">Poshmark</a>; it's a pretty neat concept and my first purchase experience couldn't have gone any better!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love shopping outlet stores! Here's some recent deals I found at a Bath & Body Outlet store. I originally picked up a different bottle of the True Blue Spa lotion and had an employee come up to me with the same lotion in a slightly different bottle and told me it was 50% cheaper just because it had French lettering on it! So keep your eyes peeled for sneaky discounts like this one! Also, take advantage of the survey coupons on the bottom of receipts. $10/$30 is a decent-sized coupon, plus they don't expire!</span></div>

(especially on things like food, toiletries, and clothing) a priority for you
and your family?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Like everyone (whether college student or mom), you find
yourself trying to balance LOTS of priorities! But yes, it is a priority, and I
have been able to find great deals, learn to coupon, and know which stores I can get
the lowest prices on particular items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are certain things (like shampoo and toothpaste, for example) that
I haven’t had to buy in two years because I got them for free with coupons. But
another priority for me is to use my time wisely, and so that shapes which deals
I go for. I am not going to drive to a store 15 minutes away because I can get a
tube of toothpaste for free. The gas expense certainly comes into play here,
too!<i> <span style="color: #999999;">I try to do what I can, using both money AND time wisely. </span></i></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I hadn’t realized that my “shopping style”
had rubbed off at all. But one day at the store, my daughter (who was four at
the time), saw a man grab a product off the shelf and walk up to the register
to pay for it. She gasped aloud, grabbed my arm, and said, “Mom! That guy
bought something, and he didn’t even LOOK at the price!” I laughed a bit, and
then felt badly for my kids for all the minutes they have had to stand there
while I price compare, etc. On a more serious note, I am burdened that my
daughters learn the difference between a “want” and a “need." <span style="color: #999999;"><i>I also want to teach them to balance frugality
with JOY in giving - to find ways to give to others in a way that is within
their reach. </i></span>It could be as simple as making a card for an elderly person or
bringing flowers or a small gift to brighten someone’s day. </span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Having a good business sense and using both time and money
wisely certainly fits with what we learn about the woman in Proverbs 31. The
Bible also has lots to say about debt and seeking to avoid it. But God’s Word
has even more to say about giving - to others and to God. Balancing frugality
without becoming a “tightwad” is a necessary priority.<b> </b><span style="color: #999999;"><i>Being frugal is good. Being a giver is better.</i></span> Balancing
those two things is challenging.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">I think it is an absolute must for everyone to have a
budget. There are lots of resources out there to learn the best way to do that
for your particular family. Without a budget, you have no visual accountability
for how you are spending your money. As for saving money/couponing, how each person
does that will vary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Find a good
resource/website (such as Dave Ramsey, or Crystal Paine’s <a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/">moneysavingmom.com</a>)
and learn all you can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: #999999;"><i>Establishing a budget and learning how to use
your money wisely in college is great training for the future.</i></span> Do what you can

In this short video, Crystal interviews Chris Seay, a pastor who has written a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Place-Table-Days-Solidarity-Poor/dp/0801014514/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364572586&sr=1-2&keywords=a+place+at+the+table" target="_blank">book</a> on the impact of giving and came up with a unique 40-day challenge that changed the way he viewed those in need. [This is Part 1 of a 4-Part mini-series; check out the other videos on <a href="https://vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo</a>.]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Watch this and be motivated to GIVE.</span><br />

They are great items to fit in your purse or to take on vacation. As I mentioned before, though, freebies make wonderful items to put in gift bags or care packages for others. I recently discovered another way to give to others through freebies: <a href="http://www.marcorministries.org/" target="_blank">Mar Cor Ministries</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.marcorministries.org/" target="_blank">Mar Cor Ministries</a> partners with churches to provide care packages for Marine platoons serving our country in Afghanistan. This is one of the easiest (and can I say cheapest) ways to give to the troops and to say "thank you" for their service to our country. Mar Cor recommends giving items such as instant coffee, gum, microwave popcorn, canned soup, deodorant, lotion, eye drops, and miniature foam footballs. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I fit all of these items in the box and it didn't cost me a dime! These were items that I've gotten in the mail, or paid little to nothing by couponing. This is a fun way to make an impact on a soldier's life...and not only physically, but spiritually. Mar Cor encourages churches to include evangelistic literature and a personal letter of salvation testimony in the care boxes. The Marines who received care packages have been overwhelmed and spiritually impacted by these efforts. My church, <a href="http://faithbaptistlebanon.org/" target="_blank">Faith Baptist Church </a></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">in Lebanon, Pennsylvania</span> assembled over 200 care packages for troops! Your box of freebies could change a person's life for eternity!</span></div>
