New Blog

I have started a new blog that is dedicated primarily to bargain shopping and frugal living.

This site started out as a church related calling, so I would like to keep it mainly for that purpose. I will continue to post best grocery deals on both sites, but content on each site will be different.

If you are here for the bargains, I strongly recommend that you update your favorites with the new site. I will be in both places, though! :)

The new site is:


Look for a new blog design, easy navigation, lot of information for beginners, and, as always, the BEST grocery deals!

Happy Shopping!

The Disney Store at San Tan Village had several of their costumes for 50% off. Get a cheap costume for this year, or save it for next.

If you are planning a Disney getaway, this is a great way to save on a dress for your little princess. They are $65 in the park. Get one at the Disney Store for around $20.

Super Cheap Tylenol Cold at Walgreen's

To add to the $5/20 coupon deal, you could also do the following:

"I went to my walgreens today to pick up a November Easy Saver catalog and realized that this week Tylenol Cold is on sale for $4.99 each and if you buy 3 you will get $5.00 in Register Rewards.

There is a $1.50 off coupon in October's Easy Saver. There are also $1.00/1 coupons floating around from a recent insert. That would make each Tylenol Cold $2.49 x 3 = $7.47. And you would get $5.00 back so your grand total out of pocket is only $2.47 for 3 packages. Not a bad deal! I haven't seen this mentioned on any other blogs!"

Thanks Nicole. This deal was listed as a comment from Money Saving Mom.

Coupon Class Saturday, November 8th

I promised a fall coupon class, so I finally set a date!

When: Saturday, November 8th
Time: 10:00 am
Where: My home in Queen Creek
What: Learn about how to:

  • Cut your grocery bill in at least half
  • Maximize the benefits of using coupons
  • Get stuff for FREE
  • Work on building your food storage/year supply
  • Utilize FREE resources
  • Organizing coupons
I am NOT selling anything. This workshop will focus on FREE services and resources (i.e. I will NOT be advocating the "subscription" coupon services). The only investment required is acquiring Sunday Paper coupons (which you could get for free from family etc.) and some time (as little or as much as you have to put into it).

The workshop is FREE. It is geared towards beginners, but anyone is welcome to attend.

I live in Queen Creek. Anyone is welcome!

There will be door prizes, and FREEBIES if you bring a friend.

See you there!

Please e-mail me at livingprovidently@gmail.com if you plan on attending and for directions to my home.

I will be unveiling my "Best Price List, Version 1" which features the items we frequently get on sale with coupons so you know what the best prices are.

Once Upon a Child Sale

I got this in my e-mail from Once Upon a Child. I LOVE this store. When you sign up in store for e-mail updates you get a $5 coupon. They also have a rewards program.

Happy shopping!

Wal-Marts Elevenmoms

Wal-Mart is featuring 11 moms on their website with great blogs on saving money nation wide.

Many of them feature national deals as well as great tips on saving money, frugality, and preparedness.

Click here to view their profiles.

Save Money on Baby Food

Cindy mentioned that she will be making baby food with the carrots she got from the Target Deal.

Making your own baby food is really easy and cheap! You don't have so spend lots of time. 

Here is what I did:
  1. Buy the product you would like to make into baby food. (fruits, veggies, meat)
  2. Prepare, mash, puree (depending on food).
  3. Make a lot at one time.
  4. Pour it into ice cube trays.
  5. Freeze.
  6. Pop into ziploc bags.
  7. Defrost when ready to use. The ice cubes let you choose portion size.
More Tips:
  • Buy really cheap ice cube trays at Wal-Mart.
  • Buy your produce on sale or from a local co-op, such as Bountiful Baskets.
  • Use the internet for tips on preparing. I like Wholesome Baby Food.
  • If you have a insulated lunch bag and ice pack, you can take it on the go.
  • Have some commercially processed baby food for emergencies, if you don't have access to heating up food, etc. 

Can't sleep, too excited...

While Cailyn and Taylor are wiped out taking naps, I never can seem so sleep while on vacation. So here I am. :)

Here are a few things I have learned from this vacation:

It pays to be an annual passholder:
  • You get 15% off most dining.
  • 10% off merchandise orders over $10.
  • Extra benefits exclusive to passholders. We got to see what the Imagineers have in store for California Adventure. It is going to be AMAZING when it is renovated. Some things will be available as early as Spring 2010. Completion is 2012.
  • It pays for it self in two trips.
  • You get free parking.
The Character Outlet in Fullerton is mostly the Disney rejects that wouldn't sell in the park. You may have better luck at the traveling outlets (there was one in Mesa last fall). Go here for locations. I got a ton of stuff last year that was great.

If you are a Disney Visa Cardholder, you get:
  • Free Stroller Rentals
  • A free 5x7 photo from exclusive character meet-n-greet. (last time we had Chip and Dale, this time it was Pluto)
Any other savings tips?

Bargain Shopping, Scriptures, and Ramblings

So I have been on the computer the past few days more than normal. Here are my reasons:
  • I'm on fall break!!
  • I recently got the new IPod touch and a MacBook after I killed my "other" computer (it was a PC...what can I say?). I have been working on getting my music collection on to my computer which has been taking forever. Try adding over 10 years with of music x 2.
  • I love my MAC! I have been working on all kinds of projects, so I have been on here quite a bit. 
If you are affiliated with ASU, or another university, Apple runs a great back to school promo each year. I bought my MacBook and IPod, but my IPod was free after rebate. Plus, through the university, you get free AppleCare for 3 years (a 3 year warranty).

My brother convinced me to switch and I don't know how I functioned without it. It is too late for the promo this year, but look for it in July-August. I will post details next year. Taylor wants one now to be cool like me. :)

Anyway, if you have an IPhone or an IPod touch, they now have the Scriptures available for a free download. It is basic, but great to have wherever you go. Click here for more info and the guy that made the scriptures more accessible.

So, as I was reading last night (while listening to music of course...) I came across this scripture in Jacob 2: 18-19. 

"But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted."

It got me thinking about helping others. I am not rich by the world's standards, but it sure feels like I am when I open my closets and cabinets. The season for giving is coming up, but I know we should be doing this all along.

With that being said, I would like to start getting boxes together for those in need. With the way the economy is right now, we really are in a position to help others in need. If we all put a few items together, we can make a big difference.

I will post more information when I get back from vacation. If you would like to help out e-mail me at livingprovidently@gmail.com. 

As an ending note, I LOVE FRY'S!! The have the best customer service and the best prices. I have even more loyalty towards them after a bad experience at Safeway. Fry's treats me like I am royalty with the deals I get. "Other" stores sometimes make me feel like I am breaking the law by using a coupon. 

If you have had a good experience at Fry's, or any other store, don't forget to call into customer service to let them know. They like to hear the good comments too.

This post is dedicated to Sandra and Amber at my local Fry's. You ladies rock!

I am going to be getting ready for our trip, so I will be back next week. I will try to post Fry's in between hanging out with Mickey, but check out Pinching Your Pennies in the meantime. Have a great week!

Fry's and Walgreen's Register Rewards

Since Register Rewards are considered manufacturer's coupons, Fry's will take them. I don't know if this is something they will always do, but they had no problem taking mine due to the promotion going on. It scanned in with no problems. Don't forget about the Dimetapp deal that is giving back $10 RR. 

Target Deals

Target has carrots for $1.29/bag. Click here for $1/1 q to make them only $.29.

Easy Mac Cups are $.77 here in AZ. Use $1/2 coupon from 9/14 SS.
Final: $.27 each

The Queen Creek Target has the 1/2 gallon Little Einsteins milk for $1.00. I don't know if this is all Targets or a markdown at my store...

Check out the other Target coupons on their site. You may be able to use some at Fry's.

$6/$30 Fresh and Easy Coupon!

I don't get Fresh and Easy Coupons because we don't have one near (yet...).

I went to their website and they had a $6/$30 coupon.

You can use these at Fry's and Albertson's.

http://www.freshandeasy.com/pdfs/fne6offorganiccoupon_62.pdf

It expires on the 19th.

As a side note, I find many great coupons by going directly to store and company websites.

Box Tops and Recycling


I have learned that through using coupons, there are many opportunities to keep on giving. 

Before I couponed, I could never afford (or justify) the cost of name brand products. We used to live on MarketPantry, Kroger, and GreatValue Brand.

Now, it seems every product I have is from General Mills. If you buy General Mills products, don't forget to save the Box Tops and turn them in to your school. 

If you don't have any children going to school, I would be happy to take them. These really do add up for the school. Our PTO does an amazing job, and this funding provides many extras for the school. 

Go here to find more information on BoxTops. You can also see how much your school has earned. Simonton earned $1387 last year! Go Stallions! 

Arizona ranks 49 out of 50 (50 being the lowest) in the amount spent per student. The only state lower than ours is Utah. 

Go to the AEA's website for more information on how Arizona ranks. The additional funding from BoxTops will impact our students and Arizona's future.

E-mail me at livingprovidently@gmail.com if you have any to donate to our school.

Recycling Papers

Next, if you driveway looks like the Arizona Republic has take over and one, don't forget to recycle all of those papers. If you take them to one of the school's recycling bins, your school gets money for these. Who knew all of this would help out your school so much.

Just keep a bin in your garage for all paper and take it to the school when it gets full.

Recycling Bags

Lastly, recycle the bags your newspapers are in. I use them for doggie duty (I don't use plastic bags at the store, so this is pretty much all the plastic we see... go here to see more information on reusable bags). You can also recycle them at most grocery stores.

I am not an environmentalist, but I care about the environment. Hopefully my footprint left behind won't be as noticeable.

I am off my soapbox now. :) Thanks for listening!

Walgreen's: 10/12

I have always been a hard core CVS shopper, but I haven't been in about 2 months. Either I am too stocked up to care about free toothpaste and make-up, or the deals just haven't been that great. Not to mention that the closest CVS is ALWAYS out of  stock and not that friendly.

We will soon have a Walgreen's at Ironwood and Ocotillo out here in Queen Creek. I have been taking advantage of Walgreen's Easy Saver Rebate Book as well as Register Rewards. If you haven't been doing Walgreen's, check out Money Saving Mom's Walgreen's 101.

Here are the best deals I see this week:

Go to Money Saving Mom for more deals this week.

Don't forget about the prescription coupons in this week's ad.

Early Christmas Shopping Deals

I usually buy gifts for Christmas throughout the year when I get them super cheap. Then I just pick stuff out of my stash.

Disneyshopping.com always has great deals.

The Disney Store has a ton of stuff on clearance right now (Playhouse Disney, Princess items, etc.).

At Disneyshopping they have a lot of Little Einsteins items on clearance.

If you sign up at disneyshopping.com for e-mail alerts you can save even more.

My favorite deals are when the PJ Pals Pajamas go on sale. They sale for $16.50 at the Disney Store. They usually have sales twice a year to get them around $5 each.

Prescription Coupons

There were two prescription coupons in today's paper.

There was a $10 for a NEW or transferred prescription (we don't get NEW coupons to often, so hold on to it in case you get sick) in the Target ad.

There was a $25 Walgreen's coupon that does not expire until January 09. This is for transferred prescriptions.

Keep in mind that CVS and Fry's accept competitor's coupons.

Next Week's Deals and Vacations

I will most likely be late posting next week's deals. We are going to Disneyland next week. On that note, here are some of the ideas to save money if you are planning a Disney trip (sidenote: I am a self proclaimed Disney addict.)

Save on Food: Get a hotel with a kitchen or at least a fridge. Plan meals before you go and bring your food with you in a cool chest (if you are driving.

If you have an annual pass, you will save 15% on most dining locations throughout the park.

Save on Tickets: An annual pass will save you a ton if you plan on going frequently. Buy them before you go. There are also discounts as Costco, and for military. 

Register to get in FREE on your birthday in 2009 here.

Save on Time: Use the FREE FastPass system to save time on waiting in line. Go here.

Check the calendar of events before you go to help you plan here.

Save on Souvenirs: Since I love to shop, I have found the following keep my appetite curbed-
  • Set your budget before you leave. Either have cash set aside for souvenirs, or buy a Disney Gift Card ahead of time.
  • Buy a plain Mr. Potato before you go (they are $6 at Amazon, Walmart, even CVS). At the toy shop in California Adventure you can fill a box with Disney themed potato head parts. If you don't put the potato head in, then you have more room for parts and get more for your money. It is $20 to fill a box. We did this last time, and this is still one of Cailyn's favorite toys to play with.
  • Go to the Disney Character Warehouse Outlet for great clearance deals. This is located in Fullerton, a few miles away. Go to MouseSavers for directions and address. Plus, there is a link to a 10% off coupon.
  • Buy items before you go (Disney toys at Wal-Mart/Target, Disney Store, www.disneyshopping.com, Disney outlets, etc.) This will save you a ton.
Go to MouseSavers for more ideas.

Do you have any other ways you save in Disneyland or other "cheap" vacation ideas?
