Budget Bailout

Young nails protein bond

It's been a while-ok a LONG while since I posted here. I'm still couponing though I am past feeling the need to get every "good buy" just because it is there- even if it is free ( GASP!). I have come to the conclusion that if I don't need it it is costing me in time and clutter. I still do stockpile items within reason and share the bounty with my sister and a good friend.
One thing I do now too is use Deal of the Day sites especially for restaurants and Movie tickets- Groupon ,Tippr (You will get a $5 bonus for using the link for Tippr). When they have the weekly cinema deals of the day you can get movie tickets for $6 ea even with the fee for the ticketing service!
That's all for now,Libby

I'll update this as I remember others and have time!

Save With Louise What I love about Louise is that she is a local Blogger in the Portland Ore area which means the prices are correct for here and not North Dakota. She posts for Safeway, Albertsons, Thriftway ,Walgreens and as well as various specials with coupon addresses. This week there were 10 posts total, usually it's less ( I'm letting you know this cuz I subscribe to some blogs and have their posts come into my inbox and if they are posting 15 a Day it clogs my inbox.The others I have come to a separate folder or anRSS reader such as "Google Reader")
