$25 Restaurant Gift card as low as $2

If you have never used Restaurant.com, you might want to consider it this week. They are running an 80% promo, which means that you will get an additional 80% off the already reduced price. Promo code is “SAVE”.  In some cases this equals $2 for a $25 certificate. Just pick a zip code to look for a restaurant. There is an expiration period on the deal once you purchase a certificate, but for $2, I am sure you can pencil it in! Offer ends 9/14.

How much is your time worth?

I think many people on this page are pretty well sold on the notion that there is legitimate money to be saved on couponing. Just to clarify, the term itself, for me, embodies the whole idea of where you can get the best product for the least damage to your wallet. So, essentially the value of the products in your home vs. the time it takes to find the savings and the money you ultimately pay. Quite the formula! Some people however, are not really sold. Or maybe they pick and choose a few coupons for a few products, but ultimately feel they don’t have the time to devote to a larger scale of couponing. This is what I figure:

How much is your time worth? A good gauge of this would be how much money you make at work. If you devote 5 hours a week to reading flyers, cutting applicable coupons, organizing your shopping trips, and renegotiating where it is you buy certain things, and that 5 hours saves you $75 a week, that is $15/hour. How much is your hourly rate at work? Is it worth it for you now?

I do home parties, and have weekly classes. Feel free to inquire, or refer a friend.

Help me name my post.

Alright guys, I need help. I would like to create a weekly “what and where” post that consolidates “healthful” food choices that can be couponed to a much more affordable level than the average retail price. I want to comprise this list so that people know where to make a pit stop if they are in that location, or organize their weekly shopping run to include a couple valuable stops.

First order of business: Do you think it would fly?

Second question order of business: Help me name my post.

Saving Bacon on bacon!! (TY Denise M.L.)

This might not be on everyone’s list, but it sure is on mine. Bacon is usually pretty expensive, even the store brand is about $3. Hatfield Bacon is on sale for $3.99 this week at Shaw’s. There is a $2 coupon on their site for any one product. Hatfield is a private company out of Philadelphia that began in 1895 by purchasing their pork from the local farmers markets. They maintain that is their standard still today. This product is normally $6.50. I couponed it down to $1.99 each, and I got 4. I will not do better than this any time soon. It is hard enough to do that with Oscar Mayer. I also bought 2 Philadelphia cooking creams on sale for 2/$5. Using last month’s printed and stored $.75 coupon from coupons.com, after those doubled, they were $1 each. Today’s savings including sales and coupons is over 70%. Again, this might not be your list, but it is mine. 3 packages of bacon are in the freezer, and tonight I am making Alfredo with the cooking cream.

These savings are real people. This is what couponing has done for me. It allows me to buy a bigger bulk (albeit not shelf clearing) of many products at a fraction of the cost. If I were to continue shopping they way I used to, my weekly bill would be about $125 (being meager for 4 people) on a weekly basis. Now, I am actually ahead of the game, purchasing weekly the types of things by which I am either running low, or trying things I could not afford. And my weekly bill is $75 MAX!!

This is how I coupon. I am not trying to buy 100 cans or boxes of anything. This is real money, and it is my money baby, and I want to keep it in my pocket!
