by Karen Mendes | Frugal Ideas, Saving Money With Coupons, Tips, Using Coupons | 0 Comments

Groceries are out of control right now. Everything has gone up. A dozen eggs is over $5 here in New England right now! That's CRAZY. I think it may be time to get some chickens. 😉 My suggestion is to get back to using coupons and combine that with sale prices and cash back apps! Cashback Apps that Help Cut Down Your Grocery Bill Using cashback apps can help you save on food and health & beauty products in stores or online. I recommend using Ibotta, and Checkout 51. Both of these apps are super easy to use and all you need to do is open the app, select the product, scan the product and then scan in your receipt. That's pretty much it. And when you reach a certain about of...

I'm back in the game with using my coupons and I did lots of shopping last week. We were running out of a lot of stuff so I needed to do some stock up shopping while the things we use most were on sale. I also want to point out here that I am not an extreme couponer so my savings isn't $1000 a week. I try to only buy what my family will use and stock up on a few things as I find them at the best price possible. My point here is to show you that you don't have to be an extreme couponer and you can still make a huge difference in using coupons. So far this year (with taking about 6 weeks off from using coupons) I have saved enough to make almost 2 car payments or purchase 2 airline...

As some of you may know, I moved my family to a new home in June. It's been a lot of work especially with two small children that are home from school this summer, a husband who works full time outside of the home and running a business myself. So coupons were pushed to the side (or really just packed away) for over a month for me. I tried my best to still shop sales whenever possible to save as much as I could. But I'm happy to say that my coupons have been unpacked and I even organized them this weekend so I'm back to using them. I have been to Stop & Shop and CVS already this week and have saved a ton with coupons. I've been taking advantage of a few sales and stocking up on a...
