Why I buy the Sunday paper

I usually do not suggest that you spend money just so you can save money. But my one exception every week is buying the Sunday newspaper. We subscribe to the Lexington Herald Leader Sunday edition only and have it delivered to our house every weekend ($8.00 per month). (If you buy it in the store, it costs $2.00 each week.) We also buy the local Danville paper ($1.50) and sometimes buy a Courier Journal (Louisville paper $2.00).

That means I spend almost $6.00 every week on newspapers.

Why is it worth it to spend $6.00 every week? First, my husband loves reading the Sunday papers. So he would probably buy the Sunday editions anyway. Second, I always save at least $6.00 (and usually way more than that) from the coupons I get in the papers.

If you are wanting to start couponing and saving money, I suggest that you buy at least one copy of your local paper each week so you will be able to do some of the deals that I list.

If you can't afford to buy the Sunday paper, then start talking to your neighbors and family. You may find someone who gets the Sunday paper that doesn't keep all the inserts.

Here is how I get my Louisville paper for 99cents each Sunday, delivered to my house!!! Very convenient! Then if it's a really good week and I want another set of coupons I'll go to Speedway for an extra copy!
Cheaper and more convenient!
You can set it up to pay month by month recurring!

DISCLAIMER: I had a friend in Stanford who tried this and it didn't work because they didn't deliver to Stanford, but in Danville it works! IT's worth a try or even a phone call to the CJ!

Grocery deals without coupons - Aldi

Image
Most of the time, I am able to find the best deals by using coupons and matching them to sale prices. But there are some things I find cheaper at Aldi! Current deals at Aldi in Danville: 1 gallon milk - $1.49 (Walmart will match this price if you just tell them you want to "comp the Aldi price" at checkout) box of instant oatmeal 1.49 (Walmart off brand is still 1.97) Produce is usually fresher and cheaper at Aldi blueberries 1.98 (per package not pound) seedless grapes 1.98 (per package not pound) gala apples - usually about $1 cheaper than Walmart Have you tried Aldi? I don't shop there regularly since I found coupons but for these things I don't usually find coupons or other sales.

Kroger $25 gift card Giveaway!

I'm so excited. My Blog Spark and General Mills just sent me a $25 gift card to be used at Kroger (or their family of stores). They sent it to me so I can start earning bonus box tops for my school. We already clip the boxtops regularly and save them for our school. I didn't realize we could earn boxtops without having to even cut them out! Here's the details. (Then read at the bottom about how you can get a chance to get a gift card yourself!). It´s hard to believe that the simple act of clipping Box Top coupons has raised over $300 million for our kids´ schools. Now you can earn even more money for the school of your choice because from now through March 18, the Kroger Family of Stores is giving you the chance to get even more Bonus Box Tops. All you have to do is register at http://www.rewardyourschool.com/ and select the personalized offers that you would like to receive.
