Get Your Paper(s)!

There are 1 insert in today's paper:
1 SmartSource
*Parade also has a couple coupons

Tips:
Get more than one set of inserts a week! Recommend 3-4 sets.
Get the Mobile and Pensacola paper--The coupons in the inserts are different. You can buy the Pensacola paper at several gas stations in Baldwin County and Publix.
Larger cities get better coupons! Atlanta has great inserts! I do not recommend subscribing to the Atlanta paper--shipping costs too much. You can buy large city whole inserts from coupon clipping sites like Dede's site found in the right side bar.

Tips for Shopping Children Consignment Sales

So here it is! Our first video debut! Consignment season is kicking into high gear and Eastern Shore Mom has some great tips to share with readers. Personally, I have consigned my children's clothes once, shopped twice and volunteered once. For me, it was tough because I would get in the door and see all of the stuff and think--Oh my, this is way too much. I would just get overwhelmed. Well, last night I learned what I was doing wrong.
Yes, there are secrets to shopping consignment sales and ESM is sharing them with all of us!




1. Just like with Publix, when shopping consignment sales you want to make a list of needs and wants. Focus.
2. You'll want to bring along something to tote your goodies in(laundry basket w/ belt).
3. Big items first! They will tag and reserve the item, so you can finish shopping.
4. Be sure to write down child's sizes and trace your child's foot on a piece of paper for shoe shopping. Consider shopping for this summer and next summer's size.
5. Always check the boy section for unisex shoes(Crocs, Keds).
6. Look for NEW items at a consignment sale.
7. Find a place to sort what you have in your basket. Make sure that you have everything from your list. Tops to match shorts, etc...Hang unwanted items in specified locations.
8. Monogram on an outfit wrong? Consider put an applique over it!
9. Take a couple batteries with you to test electronics.
10. Volunteer or Consign!!! Volunteering/consigning gets you in the door to shop before the public.

As you can see we had a good time. However, I want you to know that I was truly impressed with the items at Kidz Klozet. It was well laid out/organized and the prices were GREAT. The video was fun. You can get a feel of our personalities if you have not met us in person. Eastern Shore Mom knows her stuff when it comes to consignments! I am super excited about shopping my "first" sale with ESM's tips and the video blogs to come...Can we make another one today?!?

Kidz Klozet
OPEN TO PUBLIC
March 2nd-6th

Daphne: FREE Safe Driving Course

This is too important to pass up--If you have a young driver between the ages of 15 and 24, you definitely want to read this. I attended a safe driving course with my previous employer...One of the best things I ever did. The class for tomorrow is full. However, registration is open for the April classes.

Citrin Law Firm brings the Alive at 25 Safe Driving Program to Alabama Gulf Coast

Citrin Law Firm has joined forces with the National Safety Council to bring the Alive at 25 young driver intervention program to the Alabama Gulf Coast. This proven program zeros in on drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 – the group most likely to be involved in fatal collisions. Young drivers who graduate from this high impact course are 90% less likely to be killed in an automobile accident.

To bring awareness and training to young drivers and parents, Citrin Law Firm and the National Safety Council are providing the trainers, facilities and training materials free of charge to train up to 300 young drivers. Young drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 are invited to participate FREE of charge.

Visiting the Butcher

As I mentioned in a previous post, today I wanted to check out the meat sales first hand. Butchers gave me tips to share...One even let me in on a little secret, next week should be great for buying meat at Winn Dixie. I shared with them my goals of the weekly meat posts...to find the BEST possible prices. Sure $2.99/lb is good for a pork loin, but $1.99 is better....$0.99 for a whole chicken is decent but $0.69 is a definite stockpiling price. So as we watch and chart over the next couple of weeks the stockpile prices will become obvious. It's going to help me and hopefully you too!

So here are the pics/tips from today's trip to the butcher.

1. Always compare the family pack($2.44/lb) vs. the standard pack($2.58/lb). Family packs are usually cheaper by lb...even better when they come with a $1.50 clearance sticker! Winn Dixie has ground beef $1.99/lb.



2. Always look for coupons on meat(stickers)! Usually they are placed on meat in the a.m. These stickers are found at Winn Dixie, Brunos and Food World and were plentiful.





3. Ask the butcher!

The WD butcher was determined to sell The BB these B1G1 FREE country style boneless pork ribs. These are cut from the top portion of the pork loin.

Top(roast, country style ribs)->Bottom(pork chops)->

Butchers will usually cut the loins for free...always ask(nicely). I would wait to buy a loin until they are $1.99/lb! Then stock up!

I enjoyed meeting many of my fellow couponers today! Great trip. There is a new coupon flyer available at the customer service counter so be sure to stop by and grab one.

However, you can use the free head of lettuce Bruno's coupon when you spend $30. The Kraft cheese that is on sale is not the shredded instead it is the block of cheese. The strawberries were are great price at 3/$5. They smell and look good! I used one $5/$25. No Register Rewards and no overage on this trip.
