Mission: Frugality

Tomorrow's matchups for Shaw's has been posted under the Shaw's page HERE ALSO have you tried the Purex Fabric Softener Crystals? I LOVE THEM - however I just cannot justify buying them even with coupons with as much laundry as I go through - so today I made my own. I must admit I find it works just as well as the Purex Crystals. I took a box of coarse Kosher salt (just get something cheap - but make sure it is coarse) then I added 8-15 drops of skin safe fragrance oil (just enough to add scent) stir it well (until no more wet spots are visible) and voila! I use 1 scoop (about 2 TBSP.) to a load. Add it at the beginning of the wash cycle.

Many Blessings!

　I will have a more complete list posted ASAP!

Today - my mission is going to be creating a page for each store I frequently post matchups on and shop at. So be sure to check them out and if you know of a deal I have missed - post a comment and share it with us! Also for those who may have scored on the Shaw's deal (and it is not to late to score on this) Luigi's Italian Ice B1G1 (using (2) .50 coupons made this a steal!) DO NOT THROW OUT YOUR BOXES! On the inside of the box there is a .50 coupon with no expiration! I bought two boxes of the Chocolate Cherry and Chocolate Banana and those did not have the coupon but the other boxes did! Another tip for those who are new to coupon shopping - ALWAYS carry your stores coupon policy with you! If you can not find a printable copy online - go to the service desk and ask the manager. Unfortunately too many cashiers out there do not have the proper training when it comes to coupons and it can become quite a nightmare in a hurry!

Many Blessings!

WOW! There are so many printable coupons that have been released since the start of June I am just about out of ink! The deals are pretty intense though! Frugal Living and Having Fun has posted a great recap of some printables on their site check it out here. Also if you are still new to the coupon concepts sometimes terminology can be a bit confusing I have posted a complete list of commonly found abbreviations and terms here.

Many Blessings!

So it has been since March when I posted last- I know it I am a horrible blogger - life gets crazy busy sometimes and it is just so hard to focus on the important things - let alone any added extras. So my new mission (inspired by climbing gas prices) has become coupon shopping. I do not know why I have not done this sooner! Crazy deals to be had people! I have a FB page for Mission:Frugality that I will post most current deals I come across in my adventures, as well as sharing with you other great blogs and their findings.
