Dollar General

You know- you should not be overlooking the dollar store. They run sales and when you match with coupons you get a good deal.

Try using sites that have done the legwork for you like http://www.afullcup.com/ and see the Dollar Sore deals here.

My favorite things regardless of sales:

Ziplock type bags
deodorants with any Qs I have
clothespins
lifesavers mint candies
lysol liquid or pine sol with Qs
Baby oil
bobby pins
cheap pretzels
hot dog and hamburger buns
single candy bars with qs

Give up your dryer and find $$$ andh get exercise!


So the first thing to go from my monthly pay deductions was my gym membership! I mean really-we could all get a work out by cleaning our homes....some of us even do leg weights.

So in Spring 2009 I said good bye to my dryer. It will now be a rare occasion to use it.

I hang all of my clothes outside. Be advised that you should hang them in an organized fashion and use clothespins. Hide the underwear over in the far corners just in case google earth snaps a pic or the minister decides to pay you a surprise visit!

If it is raining or late in the day till you get home, hang them on hangers in your basement! I have a dehumidifier which we often have to run and they get dry really fast.

And lastly, I would like to say that I now know why Mike's grandmother had a string with clothespins all the way across the attic. I never took it down thankfully. I will give you a clue-rhymes with recession! My winter plan!

Food Lion 9/2/2009

Food Lion 9/2/2009

Notes: This is just an ordinary week at Food Lion. I will find myself making one trip just to get a few items I need anyway.

A comment about the All You Magazine...it is sold on the stand at Walmart but you can get a subscription. Folks that coupon love all of the deals inside, but many have recently shared that when you buy it off the Walmart shelf as a single copy there seem to be more or different coupons. I have never bought one and though I was considering a subscription, I may not now.


Finally, scope out your list and highlight or circle what you will purchase. Take time to look at all of the Food Lion posts on the net for this week and read the comments. Sales start Weds. every week but I end of waiting and reading and going about Thur/Fri. Sometimes you find one or two items that are so cheap you should stock up on them. A good place to start is southernsavers

Things I need: extended shelf life milk
Caffeine free diet coke

Expo Marker Contest for Teacher $500

http://www.expoeducator.com/

Have your students/parents nominate you as an expo educator and you could win about $500 to cover additional supplies for the year!

A non-tacky way to do it would be to include the address in your classroom newsletter and really talk up that $500 for more materials would be great.

Or link it to your www.portaportal.com account where older students could do it on their own. The form asks for a lot of student info such as DOB and last name which we teach them in school they should not give out on the Internet. Make sure they know to ask their parent first!
