MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! (ALMOST) Today, I would recommend getting ready for tomorrow, and spending quality fun time with your families! I am so thankful for my family, they are the very best "deal" that I have ever gotten or received! We are super blessed and though I love using coupons and getting good deals, I love being with my kids so much more! So, I am getting off my computer to play games with my kids, wrap presents, and be thankful for all that we have.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!

ALBERTSON DOUBLERS

You have probably noticed by now that there are not any coupon inserts in yesterday's paper. There will not be any in next week either, as they are both holiday weeks and there are never any inserts on a holiday week. However, there were some Albertson's doublers in the Post Register, and it sounds like in a few other papers around. Not sure what to do with the doublers? Head on over to HERE at The Krazy Coupon Lady and there is a lot of great ideas for using the doublers.

Remember to make sure that the coupon does not say DO NOT DOUBLE. They are not allowed to double coupons that say DO NOT DOUBLE, so be courteous and don't even try. Also, you can only use three coupons in a transaction. Every Albertson's seems to handle doublers a little different. The one I go to will let me do three separate transactions, using three doublers each time. Some will only let you do one transaction, so you may want to double check before getting in line as to what that stores policy is.

CUTE COUPON BINDER

Some of you got the chance to see my coupon binder at the coupon class that Shannon did for us, but I had yet to really use it. Well, I just wanted to let you all know that I LOVE IT! So, I thought I would post a link to where I got it from. It is super sturdy, and I totally don't feel so self conscious about caring it into the stores like I did with my binder. CLICK HERE to go to Stylin Binders from there you can order, or go to their etsy site and see what they have in stock and order there. Or, if you don't like the choices, you could always try to make your own! I got the one pictured above, I do wish I had requested a 3" instead of the 2" as I have nearly outgrown the 2".

These would also work great for church, school or other binders that you have to carry around. I love that I can hang it from my arm and still be able to carry my baby into the store without dropping things on the way in.

I have also added their button to the side of the blog if you want to go check it out later!

LETTER FROM SANTA

Well, I just got back in town on Sunday, and now have a STACK of coupons I need to cut and organize. Needless to say, I have not had much time yet to check for any good deals going on this week. Hopefully by next week things will be more back to normal. I did however come across this cute little idea just before leaving town. If you go HERE to Identity Direct you can create a personalized letter from Santa to your child. It is free other than the cost of paper and ink. You fill in the information, the letter is then sent to your e-mail where you can open it and print it off for your kids. They do have the option of them sending you a printed copy in the mail, but they charge for that one. Anyway, my kids love to write letters to Santa every year, and will be so excited to get there very own letter back!

NEW MONTH = NEW COUPONS!

It is the start of a new month, and that usually means that there will be some new coupons up on the Internet. Head on over to www.coupons.com and print the ones you want. The really good ones can go quickly!

I love to use Internet coupons as they are often times higher in value than those in the paper, however, I try to only print the ones I am going to use. The cost of paper and ink can get expensive if you try to print them all off every month. Yea, sometimes I try to go back and print a coupon later and it is no longer there, but most of the time I get the ones I want.

I am not going to have computer access for the next week and a half, so there will be no new posts, however, check out the site and see what others have posted about on the side of the blog under "Coupon Blogs". Also keep checking Pinching Your Pennies for any good deals and to get your shopping list for the week! Have fun just looking around and seeing if there are any good deals to be had!
