I am Thrifty


I like clipping coupons. I am a bargain shopper. There are tons of websites and blogs devoted to coupons and deals but the problem is that most of the deals only apply in certain regions. There are a few stores in this area that offer double coupons! (I shop Owens in Huntington) Since we are all friends here I thought I would share a little secret: the P&G Saver. The P&G Saver is a monthly newspaper insert in the first Sunday of the month. If that Sunday is a holiday weekend, then it is the following weekend.
Not impressed, yet? Think about all the P&G products in your house: Tide, Colgate, Cascade, Gillette, Tide, Head and shoulders, Charmin, Oil of Olay, Bounty, Febreze, Folgers, Crest, Iams, Pringles...the list goes on and on. You're probably surrounded by P&G stuff.
Here's the plan: buy the newpaper or steal it from your neighbor on Sunday morning. The P&G saver is its own little booklet in the section with the other coupons. You'll be surprised how much money you'll save on stuff you buy all the time. Add that to your savings from your Kroger Plus card and it is unreal how much cash you save. And now you can go to Kroger.com and load even more coupons on to your card.

You can thank me later.

I'm also guilty as charged...love to cop a bargain!

We get the P&G every SUNDAY up here in the Summit City (guess we still have a FEW things going for us), but a lot of the items are things we don't use, or are so much higher priced than the "off-brands" which save us more than a few pennies per item.

We DO use the SCOTTS/KROGERS coupons (and get special mailers from them as well) and have the "saver" card...

Not a week goes by where we don't save AT LEAST $12...suh-weet.

Have a fantastic weekend.
Tell Joe I said "hi".

At a former residence, we had a neighbor who liked to thieve our sunday paper. I broke them of it by putting fresh dog doo in it and setting it back out for them.
