My family and I are always on the lookout for great deals at grocery stores, pharmacies, and general goods stores. When we find a deal that results in 50% off of an item we like to buy, we generally buy three or four of that item. However, when a deal comes along that saves us 90% or more, that is when we really stock up.
Because we are a family of extreme couponers and our process is well established, saving 50% takes little effort. Our goal, however, is to save 90%, and that takes a bit of extra effort to achieve. Thankfully, it’s become easier to reach this goal by using SavingsAngel and its new “Price Watcher” feature.

I have a veritable gold mine of groceries and toiletries sitting on a street corner just a few blocks from where I live. It’s called Walgreens, and nearly every time I leave the store, I do so with numerous free items in my bag.
If you’ve ever shopped at CVS, you might have heard this question: “Do you have a CVS card?” I never understood the usefulness of this free card until I signed up for one. Now I use my CVS card regularly to receive instant discounts on products, collect ExtraBucks, and receive advance notice of deals via email. Using the card and the 
Using coupons to save money on groceries can be challenging. Perhaps you’ve tried using coupons, and you didn’t receive the savings you expected. You put a lot of effort into your planning and preparation, but the payoff was miniscule.
Everybody likes getting something for nothing. There’s a little thrill that comes from taking an item up to the cash register, then walking out the door with it, not having paid a cent.
My kids love Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers. In fact, if it’s available, that’s the only snack they’ll go for. Recently, however, our house has been without Goldfish for several weeks. The reason? In my household, we do not pay full price for things if we can help it. A 6.6 oz bag of Goldfish normally costs between $1.89 and $2.25, depending on the store. But in the past, we’ve purchased Goldfish for 45 cents a bag or even free by using a coupon combined with a store sale. Therefore, we can’t stomach the thought of paying full price when another sale is just around the corner.
Earlier this month, my wife and I were proud to fulfill a promise we made to ourselves some time ago, which was to build a playground for our kids. It was truly amazing to see it all come together after months of planning and saving.
These days you can use your credit card or debit card just about anywhere. There’s even the technology to swipe credit cards using your cell phone! Imagine the neighborhood kid with a lemonade stand sporting the Visa or MasterCard logos asking “Will that be cash or charge?” Pretty soon you won’t be able to use the excuse “I don’t have any cash on me” to fend off the Girl Scouts selling cookies at your door. Technology is making the use of credit and debit cards more and more convenient each year, but what is the cost of this convenience? To the average consumer, the obvious cost comes in the form of increased spending.
One of the great things about buying new gadgets and toys is that you get to show it off, right? All around me people are buying a new
I believe that budgets are a wonderful tool for really getting a good, close-up view of your financial picture. With a budget, it’s easy to tell if you’re overspending in some areas and underspending in others. Budgets help you achieve your financial goals such as debt elimination, saving for retirement, and building wealth. The problem many people face, however, is that they don’t like the traditional budget process. I’m going to give you a solution to those budgeting woes, but first, here are the top four reasons why people can’t stand budgeting:
My family and I have revolutionized the way we do allowance in our household. Recently, we have noticed that we were letting things slide, so we decided to look at the motives and behaviors that we want to see in our children. My wife and I have two girls ages 7 and 9, and we’ve found that they were living the easy life and getting paid for it too.
