New Target coupons brought to your cell! This is a new program brought to you by Target, you can now get coupons delivered straight to your cell phone! Go HERE to sign up. You'll be asked for your cell phone number, submit, and then you should start to receive exclusive Target store coupons. One of the best tips most people may not know about using coupons, is that you can "stack" coupons at most stores, Target included. "Stacking" coupons just means that you can combine a store coupon with a manufacturer's coupon to increase your savings! Now, this doesn't mean you can use two manufacturer's coupons for the same item, that's not allowed. But, you are allowed to use two coupons if one of the coupons comes directly from a store. Like Target for example, their store coupons usually have the Target "bulls eye" symbol on the face of the coupon and will say "Target Coupon" instead of "Manufacture Coupon" To use the c

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children’s diets. Cereal Statistics: Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children’s diets. Ready-to-eat cereal is also the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child’s diet today. More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures. Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office. This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce suga

Hello and Welcome! This is a big day for me, I finally decided to set up a blog dedicated to all the ways you can save money. For the last six months or so, I started finding all the ways I could save money here and there to stretch our budget. I can honestly say, I never imagined all the ways I could be saving my hard earned dollars! Now, don't get me wrong, I am still very much a beginner, I don't go to the grocery store, fill up an entire shopping cart and leave only having spent $2, or even better, having the store pay me to take all their food. But, my family and I do very well with a budget of only about $40-50 a month on food for 3 people. My goal though is to become one of those people who can somehow, have it all on a very small budget. My history with budgeting: I knew about coupons, and I have used them before, but I had no idea how much you could actually save. I had always thought coupons were just a way for companies to get you to buy their brand name item and o
