In this day and time we are all trying to live more frugally. Let's help each other by giving our tips. I use coupons for most of the products I purchase and I try to couple them with sales and rebate offers. I try to find a store that doubles coupons, making it an even better deal for me. Also, look at the Salvation Army or Thrift Store for Halloween costumes and Nice Dresses. I always take advantage of after holiday clearance sales as well. Now give us your money saving tips.

We just got approved for foodstamps, and as soon as I get that card, I'm going to go and majorly stock up on things. We need the food, and I don't know how long we'll have that card. My pay is so flexible at times, I'm almost afraid I'll makg too much at one point, and lose it. At least we'll have food when it is taken away.

It's sad to say but I believe more people are going to be approved for government assistance these days. We are all struggling just to get by. Some days I can barely keep my head above water.

Like you we try and use coupons. Going out to eat we try and find places where kids eat free or at a reduced rate. We have a Netflix account for movies. Theatres are now just too expensive.

Purchase alot and stock up because when prices go up, you will have saved the difference. Buy the larger packs and break them down innto freezer bags because you get more savings.The internet coupons have turned out to be a better savings. You can also go to most websites and print out coupons for what you need. Try to never pay full price for anything you dont have too.

Thank you. Have you tried to use the internet printed coupons at Wal-Mart? Our local store isn't very good at taking those.

hi tammytwo we buy big sized products to those we need everyday. big tube of toothpaste, big bottle of shampoo, big bag of coffee refill, big box of detergent... i found those cheaper. small sizes i more expensive i guess because of the packaging. have a nice day!
