Comments on: Allergic to Coupons? How-to Save Money without Them http://www.pocketyourdollars.com/2009/07/allergic-to-coupons/ Life. Within your means.

I always go to the dollar tree 1st and get the rest at the grocery store. The Dollar Tree has LOTS of everyday items. NAMEBRAND and GENERIC food (non-perishable), cleaners, toothbrushes 5 for $1. Sure they are not the fancy namebrand toothbrushes but they work just fine for me. Dishes,placemats, kitchen stuff. Manicure and bath stuff. Baby stuff (not diapers tho) Toys.Gifts, party stuff. Wedding decorations! I love the collapsable storeage thingys for my closet. Helium birthday baloons (filled!) they normally cost like $10 everywhere else, right? Mt. Dew 20 oz that cost $1.7 at the gas station only $1 there. They have so much and everything is $1.00. Also if you walk through the isles at Target you'll find items that are "buy 5 get a $5 gift card." Right now it is Quaker products. I was planning on buying 2 Oatmeals anyway so I got 5 and got a giftcard with it. All together tonight I got 3 $5 gift cards and am well stocked up on foods that my kid will eat. In the past I've seen other gift card items such as 3 digiorno pizzas, 3 starbucks coffee, gift items, cheeze-its. Sometimes I see them in the ad, sometimes I don't.

"Savers" has multiple locations thoughout the cities (Apple Valley, Maplewood, Bloomington, Columbia Heights, St Cloud). They get donations weekly and tag the items with a different color. Then every Thurs-Sun they put the "oldest" color on sale for half off. Even better, whatever hasn't sold by Sunday becomes 99cents on Monday! This is a great way to get good used deals all winter long. In the summer I stock up on 99cent Winter Coats to donate for my church's coat drive. Even cheaper than garage sales usually!

I buy and sell stuff on eBay and use get4it daily to find the best deal. Its a free price guide for eBay which gives the average price the last 30 days and lets you link directly to the best deal. Try it - no harm - its free. enjoy, tipster A great tool that I found for saving money or at least finding the best deal on stuff is http://www.get4it.com.

I think when you are on an economy drive, coupons have their place. I am definitely thinking about many different ways to save money at the moment. I have gathered together a bunch of videos at www.moneysavingknowhow.com which show you ways to save money on groceries, holidays, household bills, energy use, insurance products and your car. One of the videos features Stephanie from couponmum.com. If you are organised and by in bulk I think money off grocery coupons can have their place in any thrifty household. http://moneysavingknowhow.com/SavingMoneyGroceries1.php?id=9876780340652360 Thanks again, keep up the good work!
