Free Hormel Chili!

I found another freebie at Shoppers Food & Pharmacy through December 24. Use $1.00/1 Hormel Chili Master Chili - 11-02-08 SS to get free chili. I tried using it today on just the regular Hormel chili and it worked fine. So you can buy the Chili Master variety (which my Shoppers did not have) or the regular. Yay!

Mt. Rainier

2008-08-26T21:53:00.000-07:00

Popoften and I are getting ready to visit the most beautiful place on earth, Mount Rainier. Both of us visited Mt. Rainier with our family when we were children and have fond memories of it. Thirteen years ago we took our (then) five children out there ourselves and had a wonderful time. There is just something about that mountain and the way it totally fills your view. It is sheer beauty.

Why are we going? Because we’re celebrating the fact that we have now been married 25 years!! It’s hard to believe but true. And we’ve never been happier. Why God chose to bless us in this way is inconceivable. Truly. Yet, here we are, gray hairs and all, still in love! So if I’m late in posting next week’s Shoppers deals you’ll know why…

I love Harris Teeter! Who'd've thunk it?

2008-08-24T19:27:00.000-07:00

Being the frugal sort that I am I can count on my two hands how many times I've purposed to go to a high-end grocery store to buy something in the last fifteen years. Harris Teeter certainly fills that bill with it's beautiful displays, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and high prices. But now that I've begun couponing it is one of my favorite places to go. That's because I can get a lot of really great deals there. Of course, the only time I do visit is when I can get really, really good deals.

This past week was one of those times. Here's what I purchased:

4 jars Jif Peanut butter
4 Zone Perfect Bars
4 G.U.M Toothbrushes

= $17.56 Total Value

Total out of pocket only $4.24!

I purchased the same items for three children of mine as well. I plan to sell the toothbrushes so my out-of-pocket will be even less.

Harris Teeter does two things that make it an ideal store for couponers. 1) They double coupons up to $0.99 every day. And occasionally, they have triple coupon promotions. In this case, I had coupons for every item I purchased. The Jif was $2.00/jar - a pretty good deal in itself. But I also had a $0.55 off 1 coupons. Since they double coupons that made each jar $0.90. The Zone Perfect Bars were $1.39. I used $0.55 off 1 coupons for these as well making those $0.29. Not a super deal (I like to get them free) but my husband eats these at work to keep from eating out and spending oodles of money. The toothbrushes I also used a coupon on. And this is where Harris Teeter's other ideal policy for couponers comes into play.

Harris Teeter will double (or triple) coupons up to their regular retail price even if they are on sale. This can mean free money for you! It did for me. The toothbrushes were on sale for $1 each. Regular price for these was $2.xx. I had $0.75 off 1 coupons. The coupons doubled to $1.50 off even though the price of the toothbrushes was only $1.00. That meant I had $0.50 overage to apply to the purchase of other things. This is what makes couponers everywhere laugh out loud!!

Save Money and Avoid Disaster When Renting a Car

2008-08-23T09:08:00.000-07:00

We live out in the country. If one of our cars breaks down and we aren't able to fix it quickly, we often need to rent a car. Bus service doesn't exist here.

All of our car rentals have gone fine without any problems. But problems can arise if the rental car company finds some damage when the car is returned. Many car renters rely on their on auto insurance coverage or rental car coverage provided by their credit card to pay in the unlikely event of an accident or other damage to a rental car, only to find out that, due to coverage limitations, they are still liable for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Renters can even sometimes be stuck with huge bills despite purchasing the expensive collision/damage waiver coverage provided by the car rental company. Here's how we avoid disaster at the rental car center.

The Pitter-Patter of...

2008-08-22T17:37:00.000-07:00

... ah, that unmistakable sound. I guess you can say it has been heard a time or two around our place. This afternoon, I wondered if I was dreaming. Could it be? Yes! There could be no doubt. Once again, I was hearing, that old familiar sound of water, leaking down through the kitchen ceiling, over the top of and around the range-hood microwave, and pitter-pattering onto the stove and finally the floor. That could mean only one thing. Someone, upstairs in the bathroom, had filled the bathtub too full, and their subsequent aquatic endeavors were causing an overflow situation.

Up the stairs I ran. I rapped on the locked bathroom door. No answer. I can hear the bathtub water running. I am now pounding on the bathroom door. No answer. This is not good, I think to myself. Someone is in there, incapacitated, or worse, and the water is over-topping the bathtub. You need to break down the door, I say, almost out loud, to myself. I don't want to break down this door, I answer myself. I take approximately 34/100ths of one second looking around for the funny little thing you put in the hole of the door knob to get it open that I had not seen for years.

I kick the door. My foot made a hole in the door but it did not open. How do the cops on TV do this? I threw my shoulder into the door. Goodbye, door frame. Sayonara, bathroom door. It's open!

I whirl around to where the tub is, wondering who was unconscious, drowned, hurt, incapacitated, or some combination thereof. The tub is full to overflowing, and the faucet is going full blast.

The next thing I see is my youngest son's swimming-goggled head and eyes rising resolutely and nobly to the surface. He was fine. He hadn't heard my pounding on the door, because he was under the water pretending to be a Los-Angeles class nuclear submarine. Or something.

Ah. parenthood, that estate of non-stop, 7x24x365, bone-wearying labor, punctuated by brief, ephemeral interludes of sheer terror.

Just kidding. I would't have it any other way. :-)

Shoppers Triples Addendum: Doubles, too!!

2008-08-21T06:54:00.000-07:00

In addition to tripling coupons up to $0.50, Shoppers is also doubling coupons between $0.51 and $1.00 from August 21-24. I somehow missed that yesterday. Sorry about that. This doubling of larger value coupons adds whole new dimension to the Shoppers experience!

Latest News on Triples at Shoppers

2008-08-14T20:20:00.000-07:00

I had a good shopping trip at Shoppers today. Saved over $60. But I did find out some things:

* Shoppers does not give overage.

* Shoppers will only triple four identical coupons per transaction regardless of what you use the coupon for. For example, if you get four grape Kool-Aids, four orange and four cherry and use 12 identical Kool-Aid coupons (FYI: there are no such things), only four of your coupons will triple. The other eight will be taken at face value. This is contrary to what I was told by a Customer Service rep on Wednesday.

I'd love to hear how you did at Shoppers triples!

More Info on Shoppers Triple Coupon Promotion

2008-08-13T11:57:00.000-07:00

I spoke with Customer Service in Stafford. Here's what I learned:

1. Customers have no limit on the total number of coupons you can use per day or per promotion.
2. They will be tripling internet printed coupons
3. The only restriction is that you can only buy four identical products at a time. However, if it is something that comes in different flavors you can purchase four of each flavor. For example, you can buy 4 grape Kool-Aid, 4 strawberry Kool-Aid, 4 cherry Kool-Aid, and 4 orange Kool-Aid and use 16 identical coupons for them.

Even if your store does not usually double coupon chances are good that it will be participating in this triple coupon promotion. You can check by calling your local store or visiting Shoppers online and checking your local sale flyer.

I've got to get busy cutting coupons!

Get Paid to Get Free Diapers/Pull-up!

2008-07-23T08:48:00.000-07:00

Here’s the best deal I’ve ever found on diapers or pull-ups – get PAID to take them! Walgreen’s is having a baby products promotion this month I described in a previous post. This promotion is good through July 26. The August Instant Value Booklet which is valid beginning July 25 has another $5/2 coupon for the Walgreen’s brand diapers. It is Walgreen’s corporate policy to allow you to use BOTH the July and August coupons in the same transaction for the same item as long as their dates overlap. So here’s how you work the deal:

$17.97 3 packs of diapers/pull-ups (5.99)
-$7.50 $5/2 July IVC*
-$7.50 $5/2 August IVC*
=2.97 + tax
Get $5 Register Rewards

*For those of you that noticed, yes the register will take off $7.50 for the $5/2 IVC coupon. This is due to the vagaries of their register software.

Just leave your coupons uncut in the booklets. Keep your booklets for the next transaction. The cashier is not required to take them. Some stores will have removed the July IVC booklet and replaced them with the August one. So it’d a good idea to go into the store before the 25th to get the July booklet. On the other hand, some stores will not have the August one out yet. If that’s the case, simply ask for a copy of the new booklet. They will surely have them in the back or even behind the counter.

You can do this deal as many times as you want. But don’t use your $5 Register Rewards to pay or you will not receive another one.

Happy Shopping!

Unusual Source of Free Coupons!

2008-07-08T18:58:00.000-07:00

If you use coupons or are thinking of beginning to use coupons strategically you are going to need a lot of coupons. That is the key to saving the most money. Once something goes on a terrific sale buy as much as you can using coupons and store it! The challenge is getting the coupons. Yes, you can buy multiple copies of newspapers. You can buy them from coupon clipping services or on eBay. And you can get them from your friends and neighbors who don't use theirs.

Another source has just recently come to my attention. Coupons-for-opinions, a yahoo group, offers free coupons if you post your opinion about the various posted issues. I've participated for a little more than a month now and have received $15 of precut coupons, many of which I can't get in this area, all for free. I encourage you to check it out at: www.groups.yahoo.com/group/coupons-for-opinions/. They are having a membership drive this month. If you decide to join please tell them I referred you. (I'll get $50 in coupons if I refer the most people.)

Correction on Diaper Deal at Walgreens!

2008-06-30T18:36:00.000-07:00

Okay, I made a mistake. As it turns out, Walgreens will not issue another $5 Register Reward for the diapers if you pay for your order using a $5 Register Reward from a previous diaper transaction. Bummer. Still a good deal, just not quite as good.

Even Better Deal on Diapers! Only $1.82/pack!

2008-06-30T09:12:00.000-07:00

This week Walgreens is having a sale on their store brand diapers for $5.99each plus a special where they say that if you buy two packs they will give you $5 Register Rewards. For the uninitiated, Register Rewards print out at the end of your receipt and can be used just like money at Walgreens. In addition to that, they have Instant Value Coupon in their monthly ad booklet for $5/2. In the past, Walgreens registers take off the amount for the third item as well.

Here's a photo of the coupon from the IVC monthly ad booklet. You need to have the original booklet, I believe, compliments of irishlass on Hot Coupon World. So don't bother to print this.

So here's how you can get 9 packs of diapers for $1.54/pack + tax.

Transaction #1
Buy 3 packs Walgreens Diapers
5.99
5.99
5.99
____
17.97 + tax
-7.50 (Instant Value Coupons from monthly ad booklet available in stores)
____
10.47 + tax
Get back $5 Register Rewards

Go to the end of the line or make a different, separate purchase. The register will not issue the diaper Register Reward in two consecutive transactions.

Transaction #2
Buy 3 packs Walgreens Diapers
5.99
5.99
5.99
____
17.97 + tax
-7.50 (Instant Value Coupons from monthly ad booklet available in stores)
-5.00 Register Rewards from Transaction #1
____
5.47 + tax
Get $5 Register Rewards

Again, go to the end of the line or make a different, separate purchase.

Transaction #3
Buy 3 packs Walgreens Diapers
5.99
5.99
5.99
____
17.97 + tax
-7.50 (Instant Value Coupons from monthly ad booklet available in stores)
-5.00 Register Rewards from Transaction #1
____
5.47 + tax
Get $5 Register Rewards

Now spend those Register Rewards on something you need anyway like milk or bread or wipes.

So you will get 9 packs of diapers for $16.41 assuming you've spend your last Register Rewards on something you would have bought at full price anyway! That's only $1.82/pack!

A couple of words about the Walgreens brand diapers. They work about as well as any store brand diapers. Not as good as Pampers but pretty well, especially for the price! They are definitely better than the most cheaply made diapers. if you're worried about it, go ahead and buy a pack or three and see how they are before buying nine packs.

Keep in mind that the Walgreens brand diapers tend to run small. So buy the next size up than you normally use.

Happy shopping!

= -8.40 overage which means not only do you get the ten boxes free you could use the $8.40 overage to pay for items that don't often have coupons!
Please undertand that I've never had an opportunity to test Shoppers for their policy on overage like this. Some stores will not allow it. Some cashiers won't allow it. But if you want to try it, have them scan items worth at least $8.40 plus tax before the Jell-O pudding. I'd love to hear from anyone who tries this. We don't eat it so won't be doing this deal.

Diapers for only $3.33/pack!

2008-06-24T20:08:00.000-07:00

Want to spend $3.33 on a pack of diapers? How about $1.00 on an 80-count pack of wipes? It’s within your reach. CVS is having a special promotion for their CVS diapers and wipes the week of July 20. You just have to do a little prep work for it first.

First, go to your nearest CVS and get yourself a CVS member card. You could do this online but it wouldn’t give you enough to get everything done. You need to have your ducks in a row by July 20. While you’re there ask when their truck comes each week and when they are finished stocking their shelves with fresh stock each week.

Second, register your card online at www.CVS.com. You should receive a welcome email from CVS that has a printable coupon worth $4 on any $20 purchase. Print it and keep it in a safe place.

Third, visit a CVS that has a coupon printer/price scanner. These are small red machines somewhere in the store that allow you to check the price of something as well as print coupons for your use. It usually spits out three coupons, one of which is a $3 off any $10 CVS Brand purchase. You will need two of these coupons. Unfortunately, it won’t spit out more than one of these coupons in a day so you will need to go on two separate days to print them twice.

So, now you’ve got your CVS card, your $4/20 welcome coupon, and your two $3/$10 CVS Brand coupons. Here’s how you use them:

The week of July 20 confirm that the diapers and wipes are indeed on sale with ECBs in your area. (Some promotions are regional only but most are nation-wide.) Plan to go to your CVS within a few hours of when their shelves are freshly stocked.

Once there, put three packs of CVS brand diapers and 1 80-count pack of CVS brand wipes into your cart. Take them to the cashier. Hand over your CVS card and the merchandise. Let her scan them and give you the total. Then hand over all three coupons. And the final price should be $10.00 plus tax. BUT you will get $5ECB which you can turn right around and use in your next transaction on diapers and/or wipes. Or you could buy bread, milk, whatever else you like.

Domestic Black Arts for Guys: Death Traps to Avoid

2008-06-21T09:15:00.001-07:00

I, Popften, who have been married 25 years, will now impart to you single guys or newly married guys some of the helpful wisdom I have been privileged to learn the hard way. More than once. "Why would I want to know such things?" you might ask. A reasonable question.

Indeed, you may not want to know. When I was in college, living off campus, I survived quite nicely on a freezer full of … well, frozen pizzas. A fair percentage of them did get burned, but hey, my roommate and I were happy.

Except, in the interest of full disclosure, it wasn't quite that simple. You see, well, cough-cough, my then-future wife allowed me to come over to her apartment, contribute to her and her roommate's food budget, and enjoy their evening meals of well-balanced real home-cooked food, which was the real key to my physical survival.

So. Here we go with a domestic black art referred to colloquially otherwise as "cooking", "preparing a meal", "baking" and the like. Here are some death traps to avoid.

First, if you need to know how to cook something, a real helpful thing for said adventure is a "cook book". Joy of Cooking is a pretty good one. Contained within the gilded pages of the cook book are something called "recipes". Guys, now pay close attention here. Recipes are not written in runes of elven-languages of middle-earth from millennia gone by. They are actually written in English!

HOWEVER -- here is the key to a proper understanding of recipes, which, if missed or ignored, will result in kitchen-carnage of a scope and scale I shudder to think about. SO. Are you ready for the key to all cooking wisdom? The key is…. Ta-daaa! Read the recipe all the way through BEFORE you start. Yep. It’s that simple. But are not the profoundest truths of life simple ones? But wait, there’s more. After reading the recipe all the way through, you actually FOLLOW what you read step-by-step. This will maximize the probability of you ending up with something resembling edible. It took me almost twenty years to learn this to the point that I do it every time.

Why? you ask again. Well, let me just say that cooking is a highly technical process, rife with death traps for the naive or uninitiated. Sometimes you gotta do stuff like mix a bunch of dry stuff in one bowl, then deftly, athletically, and with aplomb, set that aside. Then get another bowl and, with power, authority, and a massive show of raw strength, combine a bunch of wet stuff. And finally, ruthlessly, and remorselessly, mix it. Or something. Look, I know it makes NO sense WHATSOEVER. But you need to comply with instructions like that or, trust me, you are going to get hungry, and you'll find yourself driving to Outback yet again for another one of those juicy, sizzling, ambrosia-like sirloin steaks with a loaded baked potato and Caesar salad that you know you can't afford 'til next month.

Don't say I didn’t warn you.

How About Some Free Pickles or Relish?

2008-06-18T16:11:00.000-07:00

Oh, don't those jars of homemade canned goods look like the picture of security and domesticity? Not too many of us can anymore. But we can still have that same feeling! If we stockpile when we find great (read: free or nearly free) deals. We can store them on a shelf in the basement. Then whenever we need something we just go shopping in the basement for free! It's not quite as picturesque but it works for me!

So here's how you can get some free relish. Go to the Vlasic website and register to play their silly and thankfully very brief game, "Crunch in the Fast Lane." Look at the bottom of the next page for a link for instant savings. Even if you don't win you will still get a link to a coupon for $1.00 off any Vlasic product in PDF form. Print as many as you like. There's no stated limit. And they don't expire until 12/31/08.

Now go shopping! You can find small jars of Vlasic relish at Walmart for about $1.00. They were $1.08 in Culpeper, Virginia. Dollar General has small jars of pickles for $1.00. Free pickles!

Rocketry as an educational hobby

2008-06-12T15:48:00.000-07:00

Popoften here...

To my great delight, I found online the 1970 Estes Model Rocket catalog. This is the very same catalog I eagerly ordered from as a ten and eleven year old boy using my paper route money. Some of the prices appear to have risen about ten-fold between then and now.

The first rocket I bought and built was the "V2". I was very worried about losing the rocket, so I put in a very weak engine. The rocket went up about 30 feet, then back down, and the parachute deployed a few seconds after the rocket hit the ground. My brother, several neighborhood boys, and my father laughed.

The next rocket I bought and launched was the "Astron Streak". I put in the strongest engine the rocket could take, a C6-7, and launched it. The rocket soared out of sight in a split second, and, as nearly as I could tell, did not come back down. I found it about a month later, in a neighbor's yard, rain-soaked and soggy.

The next rocket I built was a "Cherokee-D". I was very excited about this rocket, since it took the most powerful engine Estes swold back then. We lauched it in a huge schoolyard in Burnsville, Minnesota that was 2.5 square miles in area. There was virtually no ground-level wind.

Nevertheless, the rocket roared up about two thousand feet, where apparently there was a fair amount of wind. The parachute deployed, and the rocket drifted strongly laterally as it descended. We chased it about a mile and a half, and it disappeared into a grove of trees. It is probably still there, some 38 years later.

In the Fall of 1971 I had started spending my money on other things, such as baseball cards. Then in January of 1972 we moved from Minnesota to Virginia, and my interests diverged further.

I was, nonetheless "bitten by the model rocketry bug" way back in that summer of 1970, and the hobby re-emerged in my life in the early mid-1990's when I got some rockets for my four older children, launching them on a soccer field in Springfield, Virginia.

Then, z-rocketman came of age (at the ripe old age of 9!), and, well, here we are! :-)

All of the children, but particularly z-rocketman, enjoys going to launches. As a result, he's had a good introduction to some physics concepts. He understands the concepts of the center of gravity, the center of pressure and the center of mass, the phases a rocket goes through, and using trigonometry to estimate how high a rocket flies, to name a few. It's so neat to see him learning such advanced topics with such enthusiasm. That's really the key to successful learning - you have to want to learn it!

As a matter of fact, he is so enthusiastic that he has his own blog in which he writes about it. Check it out!

Looking at the picture of the "Egg"...

2008-06-09T17:12:00.000-07:00

Is it just me, or does the front of a 96 Ford Taurus wagon look like a smiling face with wide eyes and dimples?

Meet "The Egg"!

2008-06-07T20:08:00.000-07:00

Popoften here again.

I like to save money on cars. I really like to get good used cars for less than $1000.

The nice thing is, it really is not all that hard to do.

Here is another one of my cars, a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon we call "the egg". The reason we use that name is because we couldn't figure out what color it was at first. It is very dark, but it is not black. It is similar to the color of an eggplant, so we thus call it "the Egg".

I was attracted to this car and its $800.00 price tag when I saw it pop up on craigslist last year. The car did have 150,000 miles on it, and I try to buy cars with 130,000 miles or less, but the owner supplied me with every single receipt from every single service he got done on the car, including the receipt for the purchase of the car when it was brand new. I spent more time reviewing these service receipts than I did inspecting the car, although I did inspect the car very carefully. The maintenance history documented that the car had been well cared for.

Cosmetically, it's a bit scuffed up here and there, but I don't care about that. The car checked out mechanically. As a bonus, it had a nice sound system, so I pulled the trigger and forked over the $800.00.

The car has worked out nicely. The only reconditioning I had to do was replace the plug wires, which ran me about $85.00.

It just keeps going and going.

Egg-cellent!

Mr. Dresden

2008-06-02T13:45:00.000-07:00

Hello All,

Popoften checking in.

We had an addition to the family recently - a 1987 Pontiac Bonneville. It is our most recent success in saving money on cars. Yes, you really can get a good used car for $999.00 or less.

I bought it this past March with 45,000 original miles on it. It is in great mechanical condition according to my mechanic. The interior and the exterior look great. Purchase price: $200. That is not a typo. Just two hundred dollars! Ladies, the car is a beautiful burgundy red inside and out. Guys, it has the 3.8L Chevy V-6 with the 4 speed/overdrive automatic transaxle. It gets surprisingly good 26 mpg, more if you are careful.

When I was evaluating the car for purchase the owner disclosed to me that the only problems he knew of were that the serpentine belt was slipping a bit and getting rather hot, and that the car had a slight electrical power fade which I suspected was a worn alternator. I had a look under the hood and determined that the belt problem was due to a worn a/c compressor clutch. My mechanic confirmed the bad alternator.

I saved a ton of money on the parts by purchasing both through www.rockauto.com. I am a very happy customer of rockauto. I have bought parts from them several times. The a/c clutch was about $70.00, which was about $60.00 cheaper than I could get it from any other source. The rebuilt Borg Warner alternator I got on a closeout special for $55.00 also from rockauto.com. This was about $110.00 less than I could get it from any other source. My mechanic installed both for about $100.00 labor. Total cost of repairs: $225.00 parts and labor. So, all told, I thankfully was able to acquire an excellent car for a total of $425.00 in acquisition and reconditioning costs.

I figured I was going to give the car to one of my daughters or sell it to one of my sons (I’m old fashioned, I admit it).

My 22 year old daughter commandeered it. She loves it.

She has named it “Mr. Dresden”.

The True Queen of Frugal!

2008-05-16T13:54:00.000-07:00

I just read in Biblical Womanhood blog about a woman with five children who grocery shops just twice a year spending $300 total! Among other frugal activities, this family grows fruit trees and bushes and all their own vegetables as well as raise cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs, a turkey! I'd love to see the rest of her budget and how she saves money in other ways!

For over twenty years now I've wanted to be just like this woman. So far we have a piddly garden and some rabbits. But dreams die hard...

Sage Advice for Newly Married Men or Those Contemplating the Estate of Marital Bliss

2008-04-28T12:48:00.000-07:00

After 25 years of marriage, I thought I might pass along some things I have learned.

One is, you guys need to realize in marriage every once in a great while you will need to do a thing called "shopping". Yeah. The store thing.

There is one thing about this whole business I keep having to learn over and over again because I shop so rarely. That is, when you are married, often if you have to get stuff at the store, the stuff will often comprise more than what you can hold in your two arms/hands. You single guys gotta believe me on this. It's really true. Honest!

But fear not! Stores have things called "shopping carts", or, "buggies" as they are called in the deep south. These are four-wheeled pushable vehicles suitable for putting stuff in. (They are also good for riding on if you happen to have a downslope in the parking lot. Heel down on left rear wheel to turn left, heel down on right rear wheel to turn right. Both heels down to brake.) A key thing to remember about "shopping carts" is you have to remember to get one *as you are entering the store*. Yes, I know this is unnatural, strange, and difficult. After all, at that critical juncture you are steeling your mind to getting in, bagging your quarry, and getting out in record time, all while taking a minimum of enemy fire. You are out to take no prisoners. You are focused on nothing but total, devastating, awe-inspiring victory. But Dude, you gotta cool the jets enough to get one of those carts. Trust me. For some reason, they just don't have them strategically located throughout the store for you to grab once your arms are full. Why, I'll never know.

I was reminded of this because I was in Wal-Mart today, and before I knew it I was carrying around something like four or five things. I had to balance them all on my knee in order to thumb through a cool spiral-bound 2008 Rand McNally Road Atlas I've had my eye on. Yes, it was another "Oh, yeah, the shopping cart" moment. I still have 'em.

Oh, and fellas, no one will think you are un-manly for getting a shopping cart. What do you think baseball caps and sunglasses are for?

My babies can read!

2008-04-25T17:38:00.001-07:00

Yep. It's true. I taught two of my most recent babies to read using the book, How to Teach Your Baby to Read by Glenn Doman. You can be sure that with eight other children in the house, I didn't spend much time on it. That's because it doesn't take long sessions - just a minute or two a day!

My 8th born was born with down syndrome. In my research to find ways to help her i came across the Doman method for teaching reading. he claims that not only does it teach them to read but also multiplies their intelligence. His method is based on joyfulness and love and absolutely no pressure. He stresses that you should ***always*** stop before they want to stop. That way it is always fun for them! I figured what did we have to lose? We started the program with her and within just a few weeks she was reading some of the words we'd covered. She loved, loved, loved the program, too!

With her younger sister, we started the program when she was just 3 months old. It was too cute to see her little arms and legs flailing in excited anticipation when i would get out her word cards! Now she is 5yo and reading at about the fifth or sixth grade level.

I've been so impressed with this method that I've given seminars on how to do it and established a yahoo group for those who want some support. Come have a look! www.groups.yahoo.com/group/teachyourbabytoread/

Here's a video of 13MO reading. It's obvious how she enjoys it. Note that her father is not pressuring her at all.

I love this video because of the little 17MO accent!

Understand that what you see on these videos is way longer than the reading sessions I did with my children. We only did 5-20 words at one time.

It is my firm belief that most babies could easily learn to read if their parents taught them.

How to Get Free Groceries Using Coupons

2008-04-01T17:15:00.000-07:00

Years ago I dismissed the use of coupons as a way to save money. I concluded that it took too long to cut out the huge number I needed, sort and file them, then find the deals in which to use them. But now, with the development of the computer and the internet, it's finally attainable for the busy mother. I’m delighted to share with you how we get some of them free or close to free.

I Can't Believe It!

2008-03-29T21:19:00.000-07:00

Ever heard of Harris Teeter? It's a grocery store chain that's relatively new to my area. I always thought of it as a rather high-end store so had never gone in there. This week as I was researching CVS and Walgreen's deals I happened upon a website where I learned that Harris Teeter would be running a special promotion where they would be tripling coupons (up to $0.75). So I thought I'd try my hand at that. In two separate trips I purchased the following:

4 Packs Reynolds Baking Cups
4 French’s Classic Yellow Mustard
16 cans Campbell’s Tomato soup
8 cans Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup
9 Keebler Ready Crusts
5 lbs Johnsonville Breakfast Links
7 loaves Arnold Whole Grains Bread
9 packages Pillsbury Grands! Frozen Biscuits
1 Mahatma Jasmine Rice 2 lbs
6 packs Carl Buddig Cold Cuts
4 Viva Big Rolls

Cash out of pocket $48.30
Value of groceries: $221.90!!!!

I think I may have found a new money saving method to pursue...

One answer was to start a food buying club which cut our grocery bill in half! The deep discounts are unbelievable. Rice $0.31/lb! Baking Powder $0.13/oz! Non-fat Dry Milk Powder $1.77/gallon after mixing! Popcorn $0.43/lb! If you want to save money on groceries by the boatload this could be your answer, too!

Treating Sore Muscles

My children have suffered with sore muscles just as all children eventually do. Most mothers can only sooth their children with words sympathy and, perhaps, some massage to help. Only time will make their pain go away.

But not any more! After the birth of my fourth child I discovered what a help homeopathy can be in all sorts of injuries. What a relief to be able to actually do something to help their sore muscles get better faster. My children rarely suffer with sore muscles for more than a few hours.

7 Strategies for Saving Money on the Heating Bill

2008-01-29T15:34:00.000-08:00

Our family awakened to a very chilly house on Saturday. I thought maybe someone had left a window opened in our adjoining bathroom. Nope. Our propane ran out - a grim reminder of how fast we’ve been going through propane trying to keep the house warm this winter. I cringe to think how much we’d be spending on heat if we kept the thermostat above 68. Of course, keeping the thermostat below 68 in cold weather has its challenges, too. But there are a few strategies which go a long way toward meeting that goal.

1. Water in the Bed

Many nights when I come to bed my feet are cold. Long ago my strategy would be to gingerly place my two frozen appendages against the hairy, warm legs already in bed hoping and praying that the sudden jolt of ice cold feet wouldn’t disturb my sweet husband’s deep slumber. Thankfully, it didn’t wake him too often. Now, however, I don’t have to even chance it.

When my cold feet demand it, the first thing I do when I start getting ready for bed is to fill an old-fashioned water bottle or better yet a 3 liter bottle with hot tap water, drop it into an old sweat pants leg, and then tuck it under the covers where my feet will be. I go about my nighttime routine and by the time I’m finished, the bed at my feet is nice and toasty warm. And it’ll stay warm for quite some time. My feet breath a collective sigh of relief when I crawl into bed.

An alternative is to heat up a corn bag and use that in the bed instead. By the time I’m ready for bed, though, I’m mighty tired. Heating up a corn bag would require me to go all the way downstairs to the microwave. The hot water faucet in my bathroom is much closer. So I usually use the water instead.

2. Fresh Socks

Another bedtime trick to keeping feet warm is to take off your current socks, get your feet nice and dry, and then put on a pair of fresh socks to wear in bed.

3. With Ma in Her Kerchief and I in My Cap

I’ve spend a lot of time as I wait for sleep to wash over me thinking about my cold hands. When sleeping, the two things that are uncovered on me are my head and hands. It is common knowledge that a great deal of body heat escapes through our heads. In an effort to conserve it I’ve tried wearing hats. They do work, but have a habit of coming off with any groggy tossing or turning. I finally hit upon a solution that does double duty - wear sweatshirt hoodies to bed. Not only are they very warm and comfy, I can pull up the hood if I get cold and it won’t fall off.

4. Cover Your Hands

I don’t know about you but my hands stick out of the covers when I sleep. They can get mighty cold at night. My strategy to keep them warm lies in how I make the bed. With just the fitted sheet on the bed, I lay a king-sized pillow case where the standard-sized pillows will be lain. Then I make the bed as usual. When I sleep I slip my hands beneath the overhang of the larger pillow case. Works every time!

5. The Onion Principle

Of course, there’s the classic but ever so helpful principle of dressing in layers. Thick tights or long johns and an undershirt are a nice foundation. Long sleeved t-shirts or turtlenecks and pants or skirt are next. Leg warmers work very nicely with skirts or dresses. On top of that a sweater or flannel shirt. Then a light jacket of some kind. Two or three pair of socks and a warm pair of knee-high boots work nicely to keep your feet and lower legs warm. I‘m a very warm-blooded person now but I didn’t used to be. And I never used to need more than this to keep me warm even with the thermostat set at 64. Some of my kids are so active that they would be happy wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt all winter long. But that makes me feel cold so I send them off to put on another layer.

6. Is There Room on Your Lap?

If sitting still make you cold, keep a small quilt or blanket to cover yourself when you’re not up and about.

7. Oasis of Heat

With little ones still in the house, we do try to keep at least the room where they spend most of their time somewhat warmer than the rest of the house. Seeing children playing happily in a nice, warm room makes me feel like a bertter mother somehow. We have a space heater that we use now. In the past we’ve used a wood stove. Lowering the heating bill at the expense of having higher medical expenses is not a wise choice. In addition, having an oasis of a nice, warm room is a real boost when we get tired of being cold.

Hopefully, if we can apply these strategies a little more faithfully, our propane tank won’t run out again this winter.

Earn Money or Save Money

2008-01-16T09:30:00.000-08:00

With only one of us earning money, our choice is simple: either we learn how to make do with the money we have or we have to make extra money. There are some ways we have found to make money at home. But our primary focus has been on stretching it.

Stretching money is a multi-faceted endeavor. Today I want to share with you my favorite websites that help make our money go further:

Freecycle
If we need something, we could earn money and buy it or go to Freecycle and get it for free! Freecycle is a wonderful source of all manner of free items. Its goal is to keep perfectly good items out of the landfill. People will post an email listing perfectly good items they no longer want that are available for free. All you do is arrange to go pick up and follow through! You can even request specific items. It has hundreds of local chapters. We've gotten many, many items from freecycle - couches, dressers, clothes, food, books, fencing, paint, a swing set, bricks, even a car - all free. It's saved us thousands of dollars in just the two years since we joined!

Craigslist
Craigslist is similar to a free, online classifieds newspaper. It, too, has dozens of local chapters. Anyone can post things for sale. We've gotten quite a few cars through it. They have a free section as well. No sense in making money at home if you can get it for free, right?

Addall
If I can't find a particular book, movie or cd that we want for free, Addall is my first stop. Addall searches ebay, amazon, and lots of other online stores for you. You can sort the results by price, title, or author. We almost never buy new anymore because of this great service.

eBay
We use eBay for hundreds of items we can't find through freecycle, craigslist, or addall. Expert searching (learn how here and here) is crucial to getting the best deals on eBay. So is bidding in the last seconds. Auction Sniper has been of immense help for that task. If time is not an issue, we search the completed auctions to get an idea of what price constitutes a good deal and how many times that item is likely to come up for auction. Then we will place bids based on that information. Most of the time we have to bid on several auctions before getting it for our low price. Recently, I've been bidding on a National Geographic DVDs. So far I've been outbid on 12 auctions. But I know, because of my research, that others have gotten it for my price. So I just continue to bid on new auctions for that same price. Eventually, I will probably get it.

Dollar Stretcher
For frugal inspiration as well as nuts and bolts help, I go to the Dollar Stretcher. They have so much good information there I could get lost in this site. Be sure to check out the topical index at the top of the page.

Next post I'll discuss how we are making money on the internet.
