My Grocery Deals is one the coolest sites ever! It’s a site has your local grocery and drug store sales all in one place. Now you can check and see whats onsale before you go shopping even if you’ve already thrown out the sales flyer. You can even make a shopping list. Go check it out!
You can also find weekly ads here at Sunday Saver.
Today I went grocery shopping and I used my free coupons that I printed out yesterday and they all worked! I saved $20 with my coupons and even got some free stuff, a few things I bought had a Rite Aid Coupon, Manufacturers Coupon and a Rebate so I’ll be making money on those deals. I’m a happy woman.
Another thing that I want to mention is the yummy deli meat at the grocery store and how expensive it can be. Today I noticed a Jenny-O fully cooked turkey ham on sale. It was only $2.29 a pound verses $7.99 for deli ham. I decided I’d ask the deli if they’d slice up my little ham for me like the deli meat, nice and thin. They were more than happy to do this for me and they did it for FREE. I’ve heard of doing this in the past but I’ve always been to shy to try up until today. I ended up getting over two pounds of lunch meat for only $4.79! Woo hoo!

I just found this site, A Full Cup. It has a coupon generator. You can select the coupons you want and how many coupons you’d like - for FREE!
There are a lot of Target coupons, so if you shop at Target regularly you really need to check out the available coupons.
I can’t believe I didn’t know about this site before. It’s SO cool!
Here’s another coupon site - Coupons.com. If you’re on a MAC, like me, you’ll have to use Safari.
Home Solution News - Is another coupon site but you have to register to use it and they don’t have much of a selection.
Here’s some more coupon sites I’ve found:
Wow Coupons
Mommy $aves Big
Cool Savings - Sign up required, if you are on a MAC you’ll have to use Safari
Coupon Cabin - These aren’t grocery coupons, they are store coupons and worth checking out, you could save a lot!
Coupons, Inc. - If you are on a MAC you’ll have to use Safari

My stereo is 17 years old, I got it right after I had my first child. Five years ago the tuner stopped working but the CD magazine was still running like a champ so I kept it. Approximately two months it stopped loading CD’s. I kept hoping it would mysteriously start working but now I’ve come to realize it’s a goner. I get far to emotionally attached to my belongings, that’s probably why my house is still so cluttered? The old me probably would have put the broken stereo out in the barn for who knows what but those days are gone so today it’s going in the garbage.
I broke down today and bought a replacement. I purchased a Sony for $98 at Walmart with my Visa check card. I know I could have applied that money towards my credit cards but to tell the truth, I need music in the house to be happy, especially when I’m cleaning house. The old pre debt reduction me, would have bought the $198 stereo or waited and bought an even more expensive stereo elsewhere and not think anything of it.
I’m disappointed in myself and at the same time I’m proud of myself for going cheap. Cleaning the house this afternoon is going to be so much better with music. I just hope this isn’t the beginning of me falling off the credit card wagon.
