Welcome Monroe Meal Planning Class!

Image
Welcome to my site! I LOVE helping people save money at the stores so they can put it to a more effective use for their families! I saved $40,000 in less than one year from just making a few simple changes in our family budget - you can too! Couponing and Meal Planning are just the tip of the iceberg - but account for about 50% of my savings! You will find where to get coupons , printable coupon links , SavingStar info, Swagbucks info and All You deals , along with the local stores' coupon policies and Ad Match Ups . I also have a lot of recipes posted, information about Coupons For The Military and online deal shopping sites info posted. I am on Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook too (under Operation 40K) if you want to schedule a class or have any questions, please just shoot me an email at op40K@aol.com . Blessings, Dannelle

Sorry!

I have been way behind in replies this week to blog posts and emails - my grandma had a series of strokes last week and finally passed away yesterday. I won't be around much until Tuesday. Thanks for understanding! Blessings- Dannelle

I got everything on my list, but they didn't have enough Turkey Selects hot dogs and let me use my coupons on the classic weiners. My normal cashiers (I love ya Kim and Kathleen!) were off and they had this young gal there. She had an issue with my first thransaction and the rain check for the weenies - so it took almost 10 mintues for that one transaction alone! Thank goodness I was pretty much the only shopper, LOL! OK, here is the summary: Transaction #1 18 packs hot dogs @$3.49 -I have NO idea what she did for the rain check but I think I should have had $36 pre-coupon total and she came up with $32.63 -- I will call on Monday and see about paying them what I was under charged. - coupons used (2) $1/1 coupons, (8) $1/2 coupons. All doubled $62.82 for $12.63 Transaction #2 5 Palermo’s Thin Crust Classics Pizza @$2.00 (was 2.96) -(5) $1/1 coupons-doubled 2 Aunt Jemima Frozen Waffles (10 ct.) $1.00 (was $1.99) - $1/2 coupon (doubled) Johnsonville Brats $3.99 (was

"Do Not Double"

Image
Occasionally you see coupons that say "Do Not Double" on them or DND and many people get confused by this. They think it is a message for the customer, that the coupon will not be doubled on a double coupon day. No. Manufacturers sometimes print this on their coupons to financially protect themselves. They will reimburse the store for the amount of the coupon plus an 8¢ handling fee. However, some stores may get confused and think that the manufacturers should reimburse them for the full amount plus the doubled amount. No. The manufacturer only reimburses for the amount on the coupon . The store is fully responsible for the doubled amount...it is usually figured into their "advertising" budget, like a loss leader. There is one more trick...their UPC numbers . This is off the OLD UPCs -- the smaller ones that have been slowly replaced. Sometimes a coupon says “5″ as their first number. This means that even if it says “Do Not Double” on the coupon

Frugal Friday: Kids Summer Film Series!

Image
It's no surprise that going to the movies now a days can be an expensive experience. Just Miss Sarah and I can run almost $30 if we go to a matinee, get a popcorn and a soda. Insane. The popcorn isn't even fresh! They pop it, put it into a bag, drag it into the back room. They bring it out of the back room and warm it up as they need it. (blech) I am NOT opening a discussion about who smuggles what into the theaters in their purse or diaper bag...it's between you, and your family. Just rethink the cans of soda that we can all hear you open in the dark - yes, we know what that sound is, LOL! We love the Kid's Series as it is CHEAP, they show Kid Friendly shows and it's great for either a super hot day or a day with so much rain that you feel housebound. We use the Marcus Gift Cards that we get on Black Friday and can see SEVERAL movies for that $2 ticket price! Here are the details: Keep it cool with Marcus Theatres® this summer!
