Two Frugal Chicks

Now is the time to shop for space heaters, coats, and winter gear. You can save tons of money by buying products at the end of the season. I buy all my summer gear in fall. I buy my winter gear in spring. 

 I saved $2,000 on an outdoor patio set last year by waiting till fall to purchase. I bought my pool in December! I waited to get a huge off set umbrella at 90% off at Ace Hardware last year for $19.99!!

Stock up now for next year or Christmas! I shop year round and have a gift shelf ready to go for any occasion. You save a ton of money not running to the store to buy something full price

Right now is the time to buy heaters, coats, gloves, and winter gear.

Shelley and I went to Safeway last night and loaded up on breakfast foods for the food bank:  cereal, oats, apple juice and fruit snacks.

The grocery Manager was super nice and told us if we wanted even more he would special order it for us. They had a lot on the shelves and a big display.

We took advantage of the Buy 4 Save $4 sale and used additional coupons.  We spent $100 and saved $300.

(Pay no attention to the crazy woman in her bath robe in her driveway reflecting on the car.)

Now through March 14, 2013, Starbucks will add a $5 credit to your Starbucks Card when you register it and join their My Starbucks Rewards Program. It is available to new members only.  I just registered a gift card I got at Christmas and the $5 credit was added immediately.  “Thanks a latte”, Starbucks!.

New baby in the family? Someone you know expecting? Baby shower coming up? Stock up on sweet little Tees.

There’s a sweet deal on infant wear on Amazon. Only $6.99,  free shipping with prime.  I have a new grand baby on the way and you can never have enough little Tees.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for Amazon. I like to take credit for the new distribution center going in in Dupont, WA. The UPS man slows down and looks confused when he drives by and I don’t have a delivery.

What’s not to love? They deliver right to your door, I don’t have to use my gas to go shopping and you can even order things gift wrapped!

A busy woman’s dream come true.

Albertsons round up starting on Wednesday. I LOVE the round up promotion.

ANY coupon less than $1 is automatically round up to $1. So, if you’re looking through your coupons and don’t think it’s worth clipping a .25 cent coupon. Think again.

There’s no limit on how many coupons you can use and you don’t have to do multiple transactions. I like it better than doublers because you don’t have to be quite as organized..

Don’t just throw out your coupon inserts before looking through them. This product was totally FREE. In the last year I have seen coupons for FREE cat food, FREE soda, FREE hot sauce and FREE beverages. Gotta love FREE..

See this ‘blinkie’? It’s a coupon dispenser right in front of this product. The pasta is on sale for $1 and the coupon value is $1 making it FREE. Keep your eyes open while shopping for such deals. I’ve run across them several times. And of course, don’t stand there and take ALL the coupons and clear the shelves. Take a few for what your family needs and leave the rest for others. 🙂
