Some of you have wondered where I get my printable coupons. Here are the main coupon sites that I use: Coupons.com, Coupon Network, Smart Source, Red Plum and Saving Star. Manufacturer websites and Facebook pages are another great source.
We’re still not at home….and I once again went to Giant and did some shopping for the school where we are presently. I’m having fun using coupons to save them money on things that they use! Anyway, while I was there I picked up a couple of things for myself. Not much, but you’ll see that for yourself.
Giant: $1.99
Saved with Coupons: $4.00
Saved with Sales: $3.55
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that one of the 12 money saving things I don’t do is use the cheapest brand of mayo. Yup, I’m rather partial to Kraft mayo, especially the one made with olive oil. So I was pretty happy to see that I could get it for less than the store brand mayo at Giant this week! Yay for using coupons!
The Zatarain rice was free after coupons/sales and honestly, I doubt that we will eat it. I’ve never had it and somehow it doesn’t appeal knowing it is full of all sorts of preservatives etc. But who knows, maybe I’ll try a box and we’ll love it. But most likely I’ll just donate it to our local food bank. Yay for using coupons to help out those who have hit unfortunate times!
Bought:
- 3 Zatarain Rice $1.00 each
- Kraft Mayo $2.99
Coupons Used:
- Three $0.50 Zatarain Rice printable coupons (doubled to $1.00 each)
- $1.00 Kraft Mayo printable coupon

I was going to Giant to get some things for the school we are currently at and so I grabbed these 2 items for myself. My hubby loves the Eight O’clock coffee and I love getting it for a great price! And free tuna? Yes, please! I haven’t been able to get that free in months and we do love tuna sandwiches and wraps. They make such a fast, easy meal!
Bought:
- Eight O’clock Coffee $2.80 (bought with rain check)
- Chicken of the Sea Tuna $1.00
Coupons Used:
- $1.00 Eight O’clock printable coupon
- $0.50 Chicken of the Sea printable coupon (doubled to $1.00)
Sheetz: $0
I was driving by Sheetz anyway and since I knew that I had a free cup of fruit offer on MySheetz card I stopped and got it. We love pineapple and will enjoy this a lot! I don’t typically make a stop just for something like this but I was not pushed for time and was by myself so I obliged.

I mentioned several days ago that one of the ways that we save money is by preparing our own taxes. With programs like H&R Block filing your own taxes is super easy and fast. They even offer expert advice!
