We are going on vacation tomorrow.  Just Alex and I are leaving town, and the kids are having a vacation here at our home with grandma, grandpa and their aunt and uncle – they will be having loads of fun too!

But while we are gone, we are taking a blogging break.  We thought we would encourage you to take the time to explore some things on our site that you may not have seen or that it has been a while since you have seen.

In fact, we have thousands of posts per year on all things frugal (dozens per week) to help everyone where ever they are at. We know that not all posts will apply to everyone but we hope and pray that many of the things we post and talk about are a blessing to you and your family in some way.

We actually try to be as transparent, real and honest with our readers.  Here’s some fun things to check out: (We actually have over 10,000 posts over the course of the last few years blogging, but this will be some ideas on where to visit to get to know us and explore our site while we are gone!)


We encourage you to check out our Deep in Debt to Debt Free series HERE in which we share our story – all the way from how we got ourselves into $100K of consumer debt to how we started to wake up and realize just how deep the hole was from our debt.  As you can tell, its a work in progress and we’ll keep sharing more in months to come.

After that, we encourage you to read the Why and What we did to pay off $100K of consumer debt:


• How Our Crash-Diet Budget Crashed Our Budget
• The Financial Controversy: Crash-Diet Mentality vs the Healthy Diet for Establishing Long-Lasting Change
• Time for Some Financial Ground Rules: Every Battle Requires Some Rules of Engagement
• Our Personal, Secret 2 by 2 Formula We Used to Pay Off Over $100K of Consumer Debt <== The heart of the plan

For more frugal ideas, see these too!

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on November 14, 2012

With Thanksgiving just over a week away on with grocery store sales needed more than ever this time of year, we wanted to remind you to visit our Grocery store section of our site to find your grocery stores’ shopping lists with coupon matchups! This is a part of our site that is available to you all of the time whenever you are getting ready to go to the grocery, drugstores or even the national super stores to get the most bang for your buck as we provide an easy to use star rating system for many, many stores and links to other stores as well! These lists may be different than many you have seen, but these are the lists we have used for several years and still use today.  These lists are made with the store’s ad and the coupons that were available at the time the ad were made, so they are pretty complete.  The posts on our blog each day will highlight extra coupons and deals that come out since the time these lists were made.  Between the two, you should get some good savings!

We feel that groceries are the best and first place to save as it is something that you cannot avoid buying and these lists help you so that you can save around 50% quickly and easily! You have to eat! So we have really tried to make this part of our site as user friendly and helpful as possible!

Although we post deal after deal from FREEBIES to online and more on our site – Please know that these grocery lists are always available everyday for use when you need them and they are current whenever the next store sale starts.  And even though we don’t highlight them frequently – we did want to remind you today that they are there for you to access ;)

Many of the grocery stores nationwide as well as the shopping lists for Walmart, Target, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens are found in the drop-down menu that looks like this:

See our previous post HERE on instructions on how to use this list!

Head to the Grocery Store Shopping Lists with Coupon Matchups section of our site HERE!

In the future – you can find this section of our site on the right hand side by clicking on the image that looks like this:

Another thought – you can also always utilize our Coupon Database found HERE (and on the right hand side of our site) to locate any coupons that you are looking for to help you save everyday as well!

So while you are making final menu planning preparations and even figuing out what to buy for the food banks right now, we hope these lists are of help to you!

Happy Grocery Shopping and Saving Everyday!

Dollar Tree Stores Now Accepting Coupons (Now Everything is $1 or LESS) and Dollar Tree Coupon Policy

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy here.

by Cassie on August 27, 2012

Dollar Tree Stores have been testing certain markets for using manufacturer’s coupons for a while.  Well, they have apparently had good success with it as they are now allowing coupons at all stores nationwide starting this week!

This is awesome news because that means that everything is now $1 or LESS with coupons!  We do not go to the dollar store often as it can be dangerous as many (including us) justify that “oh, this is only $1 so I am going to go ahead and get it” to then walk out with well more than you intended to spend.  So we will go there on occasion when we need something we know they have (like $1 Mylar balloons).

So, the thing that seems interesting to us is that although they are now accepting coupons, we don’t recall that there are a lot of name-brand items in the store.  Yes, on occasion there is, but not very often.  So we are not sure how often you will run across items that you can use a coupon on.  We are curious to see how this things plays out and how much of a benefit this could be.  When we browse the grocery aisle, they have a generic dollar store version of common convenience foods found in grocery stores, like the generics of crackers, cookies, hamburger helper types, canned tuna and chicken, etc. but since they are all a generic version, you won’t be able to use coupons on them.  However, they will receive shipments that will include some occasional name-brand items, so it could work then.

In addition, one thing that we have always noted when a store changes or even starts accepting coupons is that there are many kinks to work out, most specifically with the cashiers either not aware of the new policy or not aware of how to accept the coupons.  Be prepared for a few bumps in the road for the first couple of months that they start accepting coupons as they work these kinks out.  To help make less bumps in the road, we suggest taking in the new Dollar Tree coupon policy into the store with you!

Here’s a quick summary of the Dollar Tree coupon policy:

  • Only original and intact manufacturers’ coupons will be accepted. Retailer-specific coupons will not be accepted.
  • Coupons are void if copied, scanned, or if they have been altered in any way.
  • Only two (2) print-at-home Internet coupons may be redeemed per transaction.
  • We are unable to accept coupons for “Free” items with no purchase requirements or where the amount for the product is blank.
  • Coupons can only be used in stores and must be presented at time of purchase. Coupons cannot be redeemed for cash at a later time.
  • Coupons will not be accepted without the purchase of the item specified and are subject to the terms listed (e.g. expiration date, size, limitations, quantity, etc.).
  • Coupons cannot be redeemed for more than the purchase price of the item.
  • Only one (1) manufacturer’s coupon will be accepted per item.
  • Management has the right to refuse any coupon or otherwise limit quantities.

So you can either print this coupon policy or pull this link up on your phone or tablet while checking out at the store. Here’s the official link to the Dollar Tree Coupon Policy.

What do you think about this?  Will you be shopping there more and what name-brand items do you think you will be able to get for less than $1 now?

Honestly, the store that we would love to see start taking coupons is Big Lots as they have lots of name-brand items on discount!
