Stockpiling, Organizing The Stockpile, and Creating A Mock Pantry

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

 

I love couponing and getting the deals.  I buy 6 papers each week for the coupon inserts (if you get coupons & don’t want them, feel free to send them my way, lol!), which means I’m able to stock-up on great deals.  That stockpile has to go somewhere, preferably somewhat organized. That presents somewhat of a challenge for me because space, especially storage space of any kind, is very much at a premium here.  Confession: I do not have a pantry.  My cabinet space is sparse, but admittedly not as well utilized as it could be. 

I have a goal this year (well, not a goal persay, but I’m taking little steps in all areas making improvements) to really get all the “stuff” organized.  I discovered Sterlite’s clear bins (lid colors vary by season) in 3 sizes that are really working for me: shoebox size, 16 qt, and 56 qt.  I love that the clear bottoms helps me know exactly what is inside & the lids are very flat and simple, no extra bulk. 

I discovered that the 16 qt fits nicely between the dryer & water heater in the laundry room, which is just off the kitchen.  We put in a few shelves in the laundry room, some of which I’m using for food items (need to add more to maximize the space).  Putting like items together in a bin makes it very easy when looking for something specific and I’m loving the organization. It is a small step, but it is working for now. Still have much to organize, even with just the food items.

The bottom bin is full (crammed full!!) of different types & brands of cookie mixes.  The next bin up holds a wide variety (also crammed full) of Homemade Gourmet mixes. Bin #3 from the bottom has 12 bags of Chex Mix (and there are another 7 bags that wouldn’t fit - what can I say? It was an awesome deal!). On top of the Chex Mix bin, there are 3 shoebox size bins: (1) packets of seasonings, gravy, marinades, etc; (2) (can’t see in pic) unopened spices; and (3) cornbread mixes and Crystal Light packets.

I am using the spare room’s (was the office when my computer was in there, but is basically a storage room / dump zone) closet for stockpiling all the non-food stuff, but it is in need of desperate reorganization, so I hope to work on it soon and possibly add in a few more shelves.

How To Save 101: Get Coupons (#coupons)

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

 

 

The absolute BEST way to save money on grocery and household needs is to use coupons on sale items.  It is important that you know when a sale is really a sale – an item that is typically $2.59 and is on sale 2 for $5 is not really a deal.  Tip: Use the Frugal Deals Roundup to find links to coupons matched with deals on your favorite stores.

 

Now, how in the world do you actually get your hands on coupons? 

 

SUNDAY INSERTS – Buy the Sunday paper to get the coupon inserts.  In fact, buy two because you’ll need two if you are purchasing BOGO (buy one get one free) deals to get the best price. I personally get 6 papers because I tend to want more than one or two items at the sweet price I get when I do my deals. Tips: Some papers (not mine, LOL!) put their inserts in Saturday’s paper. Also, if you are in a medium to smallish town and there’s a city nearby, you may get better coupons if you purchase the city paper instead of your local one.

 

PRINTABLE COUPONS – These are coupons available online through all sorts of sources that you print out.  There are some stores that no longer accept printable coupons, so call your stores to check their policy.  Coupons.com and Smartcource.com are two sources of printables, see my sidebar for others.

 

BLINKIES, TEAR PADS, and PEELIES – There are an assortment of coupons available in-store, on or near products.  Blinkies are the coupons in the little blinking machine attached to the shelf.  Tear Pads are the pads of coupons usually found on self-standing product displays.  Peelies are coupon stickers on the actual product.

 

True story: On the last day (and late in the evening) of a sale week at Publix, I came across a blinkie machine with BOGO coupons for a particular can of cat food that happened to be on sale BOGO.  I was thrilled because (a) this made them FREE; and (b) there were still tons of coupons in the blinkie machine!  I would have “purchased” less had there been any time left of the sale (to be respectful of others wishing to get this deal), but the sale was ending in about an hour.  That said, there were still coupons left in the machine and my cat ate on that purchase for a long, long time! 

 

CATALINAS – These are the coupons that print out along with your receipt.  Winn-Dixie, Walgreens and many other (but not all) stores have them.

 

INSIDE PACKAGING – Remember to do a quick check when opening product packages. Sometimes a coupon is stuck to the inside item, sometimes it is part of the packing itself (printed on the inside of the cardboard), sometimes it is loose inside the packing.  You never know when you’ll come across these, so keep your eyes open.

 

SAMPLES – Request samples.  In most cases companies will include a coupon with the sample.

 

STORE COUPONS – Many stores offer in-house coupons on a regular basis.  Food Lion has new printable store coupons weekly; Publix has regular (though not weekly) flyers with store coupons; Target always has printables available and are updated periodically.  A store coupon CAN be used with a manufacture coupon on one item in most cases (a $1 man coupon + 50 cent store coupon gives you $1.50 off the item).  Check your store’s policy on their acceptance of competitor coupons.  Publix is awesome about accepting store coupons from Food Lion, Target, etc; including $5 off $20 CVS coupons and similar Winn-Dixie $ / $$ Catalina coupons.

 

CONTACT COMPANIES – Have you ever been less than completely satisfied with a product or food item? Or perhaps there’s a product you especially like? Let them know! Go to their website and fill out the contact form or give them a call. This gives them useful feedback and can usually net you some pretty decent coupons. 

 

Couponing To Disney offers Five A Day – quick links to five companies’ contact forms each weekday. As of this posting, I only contacted three companies from her lists and today I received a coupon for a free product, up to $4.00. Tip: You don’t have to have personal experience with a product or brand to leave a comment, so feel free to contact ALL of the companies she lists!

 

Coupon Services – Sellers on eBay and other sites offer coupon-clipping services. You cannot technically buy the coupons, so you pay for their time, effort, and postage in getting the coupons to you. This is especially great if there’s a particular product or two you use all the time and need a larger number of coupons for it.

 

 

Did I miss something? Leave a comment and let me know.

Frugal Deals Roundup Week Of 6/7 #deals #coupons #moms

Monday, June 8th, 2009

 

Time to make your plan of attack to score the best deals this week.  You’ll need the coupons from the Sunday inserts (preferably in twos for the best deals on BOGO sales). Buy extras and ask friends and family for any coupons they won’t be using. Any coupons you don’t use this week, save. (You may need them for a deal next week or the week after, etc.)  The more of each coupon you have, the more you can buy of that item at that great deal price and stock up (and less likely you are to pay full price for it in two weeks or so when you need more).

 

Check out the linked sites for the stores near you, make your list, and pull the matching coupons. The coupon matchups are pretty much done for you via these links, which saves you mucho time & effort!

 

Now – get clicking, writing, and saving!  Then come back and leave a comment about the deals you score this week.

Shop For Free - CVS – Week Of 5/10

Monday, May 11th, 2009


 


Shop For Free was a regular feature on my old blog & it is making a debut here at Shake The Salt.  Shop For Free is about combining sales & coupons to get free items.  Let’s see what we can get for free this week!

 

 

Bayer Aspirin (quick release crystals, 4 ct)

* $2 each; earn $2 ECBs

* Limit 1

* Coupon: I’ve heard that there are $1 tearpad coupons @ CVS & Walgreens, so you can actually MAKE $1 on this deal.

 

 

Bayer/Ascensia Contour Meter:

* $14.99; $30 coupon; earn $5 ECBs

* Limit 2

* Coupons: 10/26/08 RP; 2/1/09 RP; 3/22/09 SS
* The $30 coupon will be adjusted down to the sales price, so the item will be free AND you’ll get $5 in ECBs back. If you have 2 coupons, you can do it twice and MAKE $10 on this deal!

 

 

Colgate Toothbrushes
* $1.99 x 6 ($11.94); $1 coupon x 6 ($6); .75 Upromise; earn $5 ECBs

* Limit 1 deal (Earn $5 wyb $10)

* Coupons: 4/26/09 SS; .75 Upromise e-coupon

* Quick math: $11.94 - $6.75 - $5 = $0.19 (3 CENTS EA) Not free, but close enough to include on this list!

* FYI: The Upromise e-coupon is included, though the savings will actually go toward your college savings account, not off the total. Make sure one of the toothbrushes you pick up is a 360 & don’t forget to activate the e-coupon before shopping. (If you don’t already have a Upromise account, you can sign up for one for free & start saving toward your child’s college fund.)

Frugal Deals Roundup - Week of 4/26

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

 

 


Time to make your plan of attack to score the best deals this week.  You’ll need the coupons from the Sunday inserts (preferably in twos for the best deals on BOGO sales). Buy extras and ask friends and family for any coupons they won’t be using. Any coupons you don’t use this week, save. (You may need them for a deal next week or the week after, etc.)  The more of each coupon you have, the more you can buy of that item at that great deal price and stock up (and less likely you are to pay full price for it in two weeks or so when you need more).

 

Check out the linked sites for the stores near you, make your list, and pull the matching coupons. The coupon matchups are pretty much done for you via these links, which saves you mucho time & effort!

 

Now – get clicking, writing, and saving!  Then come back and leave a comment about the deals you score this week.
