10 Tips to Being a Savvy Shopper

Shop with cash. It is more difficult to part with cash than it is to swipe a credit or debit card. With cash you are less likely to buy what you DON’T need. It’s a psychological trick of the mind- that works! Purchase clothing and accessories (e.g. belts, hats, scarves, purses, even shoes) in the off-season or wait for end-of-season sales. I have gotten myself some excellent bargains this way. I swear by its effectiveness (your pocketbook will too!). Organize your grocery list by departments (e.g. bakery, deli, produce, frozen foods). It will help you from having to go back and forth from one end of the store to the other. Believe me it saves a lot of time and energy! Stock up on in-season vegetables and freeze them for use when prices are threw the roof. This way you will have plenty of tasty...

Joplin Donation Update 5-25-11

This evening I was able to have the privilege of  helping put together a task force for donations to Joplin. I will use this blog to communicate needs for this task force. This will also post to facebook and twitter. Please "like" us on facebook or follow us @savvy_savings on twitter for information. Grace Chapel Church and Savvy Savings will be working with Joplin Destiny Church in Joplin, Mo. We have 10 families who need immediate help. These families lost EVERYTHING. I will be posting different ways you can help. Let me start by saying no donation is to small. Even if you can only give a tube of toothpaste, it will help someone! Tonight I sat in a meeting hearing all the needs and all the numbers and just kept thinking Lord, oh my, Lord! It was truly overwhelming to hear the needs...

Let Your Home Be A Canvas Where Memories Are Painted

Let your home be a canvas where memories are painted…… Wow! I just love that! I read that somewhere once and thought, I need to write that down! Your home being a place where memories are painted. Is that your home? I know that hasn't been my home lately! It certainly has at times, and will be again. It's so easy to get caught up in the "hustle and bustle" of life  and then you read something, or you hear something, and it calls you to a place of refocusing. Thank goodness for those times of refocus! Lord knows with my personality I think I need them daily sometimes! In today's society we mom's wear so many hats. We need to remember to stop and evaluate sometimes. Our first and foremost responsibility is to our families. (in my personal opinion)  I am now reaching that point in...

Ten Things You Can Do With Vinegar

I love vinegar! There are so many things you can use it for, and it's cheap! I buy two very large jugs at Sam's Club for under $3.00! I not only use it for cleaning, I also use it to make a coleslaw dressing, and get rid of weeds that grow in the cracks of my driveway! Here's an article I found online that has some great ideas! I consider vinegar to be an indispensable tool in any kitchen – this ingredient can clean practically anything plus perform some nifty restorations and maintenance tricks. I think everyone know about cleaning coffee makers, teakettles and teapots, adding a little into dishwasher and running a rinse cycle ot using a solution with water to clean splatters in the microwave oven. And maybe some people use it to prevent mildew on rubber seals of their refrigerators and...

They will make soups, salads, sandwiches, leftovers,frozen meals. I hope this helps...

Couponing for Disaster Relief

  I know that we were all horrified by the devastation caused by the tornadoes last week and that we are all trying to do our little part to help the relief effort. So many of you have contacted me with your stories and information regarding donation drives and I thought the perfect way to do my part online would be to provide a space where we could talk about the way that couponing can really be such a blessing in times like these! Many of you who frequent the I Heart Publix forum may know of Katie (aka khumber1), who has been collecting coupons for specific items to donate to the relief effort. Many of us have huge stockpiles that we’d love to use to help but we just live too far away from those who were affected. So Katie came up with...
