New Horizons & Ad-Sense

Our new website is being created as we sp...type? Read? Surf?...
ANYHOO...My husband and I are preparing to move, once again, and my hours have been cut at work...once again...yee haw...so the coupon game must begin!...again.
I have not....sadly...been couponing lately due to the fact that it can be very tiresome. It takes a lot out of my week! I spend nearly half a day clipping, organizing, and planning using adds. and then the shopping trips are longer too because I try to look for even more deals for my readers. However, since my hours at work were about 60 per week, I gave it up...we weren't eating much at home anyway...but now we are moving, and my hours are cut, and the games must begin again. But a new home for us, means a new home for US!
Because lets face it, if I'm going to be putting all this time into this for y'all, I am going to make it worth it for myself. So you'll see ad-sense, and occasionally some deals being offered. This is to help generate some sort of revenue to help make up for the fact that (besides my oldest is starting pre school, and tuition does have to get paid!), I will be paying for 1 extra day of baby sitting per week to do this for you guys, and I will be refusing an increase in hours that isn't even likely to happen for at least another 2 months. I am truly going to put myself out there and cross my fingers and toes, and crack open my praise journal and hope to God that we manage to get by!

Besides, thanksgiving is right around the corner, and this is the ABSOLUTE, NO QUESTION, BEST TIME of the year to STOCK THOSE PANTRIES!! We just ran out of our pantry stock from last year....so I know I really do needs those 30 cans of cream of chicken, and 50 cans of cream of mushroom soup that I got for SIX BUCKS last year...

But anyway, so if you think about it every now and then, could you click on them and drop a few cents in my piggy bank? Ad-sense does screen ALL adds for sites with malicious content and they are guaranteed safe. But you don't have to surf them...

Breast Cancer Foundation Donation!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated in a while. I have a good excuse! I got married on April 3rd! And I began a new job 2 days later! So I am still working to find balance in my life.
Now I know I have missed a lot of cause months which I hate! But I am going to try to make up for it, and over the next few months I'm going to run specials on different causes.
For the next 3 weeks, if you buy anything in my Mark store, located at http://jmallory.mymarkstore.com/ , I will donate 40% to the Breast Cancer Foundation. I generally do this during breast cancer awareness month, but I did not manage to this month and it's such an important cause I hate to go all year without giving it it's due.

So please join me in the fight! You can also help Avon join the fight by showing support and joining Avon's Army of Women!

Bread Outlet!

If your headed down Fulton Avenue N  then stop in at the bread outlet! (just after enterprise after you go under the Lloyd, it's a yellow building with tons of bread signs on it)

White bunny bread is REGULAR 35C! and honey wheat is 79! That's about 75% off the price of the stores! PLUS, every TUESDAY is BOGO day! Yesterday I got two loaves of white and two loaves of wheat for $1.14! That's FOUR loaves for LESS than the price of one at the supermarket!!

ALDI

I know a LOT of local folks have become aldi addicts. I was in there today, however, and was very diheartened to find they have raised prices, in some places very dramatically.
MILK, is raised to $2.99 for instance. I know a lot of you will go to Aldi for milk because it is cheaper. Well it is still cheaper then any I have found but not as good as it was!
NOTE: THIS INCREASE MAY BE DUE TO THE ICY WEATHER CONDITIONS.

White bread is still an amazing 79C

10 lb potatoes $2.99

Give them a couple of weeks if the prices haven't gone down, then I authorize disappointment. But for now, blame the ice!

Walmart Games GREAT DEALS!

So I went to walmart today, and I was browsing through looking for some good deals. I didn't really find anything. There had been rumors of Ritz crackers being on sale so that they would be free with a $2/2 cpn, but this is not the case for us. Here is what I DID find that you might enjoy:

Well blogateers, I quit my job! Which means good news for you!
Because now I'll finally have time to devote to my wonderful listeners.
I've been reading your emails and I know a lot of you don't like the revamp. Since the server crash of the last blog I've had a steep drop in readers (about 89%!) so I will be working on getting the blog to a new host and back to it's former glory.

I will also be able to bring you the deals and steals better! While we're in transition please bare with me, and I will be posting your amazing deals of the week ASAP, don't forget to pick up your sunday papers tomorrow! And check back on Monday for your updates!

Couponing 101

It's recently come to my attention that not many of you actually know a lot about couponing. It's very important in order to be able to successfully save the money like I do (over 3 grand 2009 alone!!) that you understand the different ways that the stores work. So before I post this weeks savings I'm going to give you all some time to read up.

I always reccommend BeCentsAble.net
HOWEVER, I do not recommend looking there for the deals instead of here (I know your thinking "OF COURSE!" but just hear me out!) this would be because coupons come out regionally. Our region I've found over the past couple of years gets VERY DIFFERENT coupons and very different results from the stores. For instance, most Schnucks will double coupons daily. But you've never heard of this in Evansville have you? that's because Indiana is the LAND OF NO DOUBLES. Schnucks doubleing coupons in Indiana is unheard of, but believe me, should there come a day when they do double, I will post it WIDE AND CLEAR! And be very frantic about it with excitement!!!!

Now you'll notice that all I mention is that I have a coupon worth a certain amount. I do not usually mention where it's from unless it's from a catalog, or a store printable. I will try to find a much more understandable way of doing this. While I'm NOT new to couponing, I am to blogging, so bear with me while I learn!

Now here are some resources to educate you on couponing basics, any questions? I'm always up for giving answers!!!

Understanding coupons Acronyms by BE CENTSABLE

Couponing101.com has put together a wonderful list of things you need to know HERE

Don't forget to pick up your Local SUNDAY Paper ONLY ON SUNDAY, not on weekdays

I also recommend ALL YOU Magazone Available only at Walmart, or by subscription

Coupons.com always has a good selection and soon I will post a bigger more comprehensive list. I will also start posting FREEBIES soon!

Make sure you read up on Walgreens and CVS 101 located on the couponing101 website. Don't forget at Walgreens you can not have more coupons then you do items, so sometimes you have to fill it in with a small deal (like $1/4coloring books or 39C ea chocolate)
