Great article! I wish this would help me save more. And I agree to reduce information overload coz because of the new advertisement that we see, it’s already in us that we have to try those even if its not necessity/.

How to stop teenage daughters from nickle and diming you.
I keep a survival kit in my car to avoid last minute purchases. I buy the items when they are on sale and use coupons. Here is my must have list for my 17 year old.
Deodorant , hair-spray, hand sanitizer, razors, shaving cream, tampons, motrin/advil, hair ties, mouth wash, tooth paste, tooth-brush, gum, chapstick, lip gloss, baby wipes and hand soap. Just adjust the list to each family member and you are set to go.
I hope you can use the above money saving idea.

Since there are some questions about coupons …

I have an 8 week coupon checklist that I wrote for my local readers, but can be adapted to any community. Reason: I don’t rely on coupon databases like many other sites do. The databases don’t work in my area, so I came up with a system that uses both coupon and non-coupon tricks.

@Aaron – It really depends on where you live. If you have a Publix nearby they are great. They actually honor any other stores coupons as well. So, if you combine it right you can get really good deals. Walmart accepts other store coupons but doesn’t really have coupons of their own. If you have a Super Target in your area, they also take coupons from other stores.

Thanks Jonathan, those are some great resources. Saving money is addicting, and this is something I wouldn’t mind be addicted to! We’ll have to start getting our coupon library going!

Out of curiosity, where do you shop the most for groceries? Is there a specific place that works with coupons the best?

@Evan - You are right. There is so much available online when it comes to TV watching. I also love that it is on my terms. I decide what time I want to watch something or I super-stack it by watching my favorite programs while working out. Since I need the internet for my line of work, it makes sense to get my TV viewing from there as well. @Aaron - Your welcome. The "couponing" is a great adventure. My wife had wanted to do it for a while, but she just got over-whelmed. We started to see the benefit of it when we both jumped in and helped one another. Now, she has such a handle on it she can do it without me. The key is sticking to it for a few weeks as your coupon library builds up. When you start coming home with things for free it gets addicting. Some of the more popular places to start are : The Grocery Game Coupon Mom Southern Savers Blog If Publix is in your area: I Heart Publix Blog I have these in my google reader and it save us a lot of time with having to research all of the deals on our own. There are two keys: 1. Stockpiling on foods that are on sale (there is a cycle). 2. Combining store coupons with manufacturing coupons (and Buy One. Get One Free Deals) Once your system is in place, you will walk out with $180 worth of groceries and spend $30-60. It is addicting.

Great insights Jonathan. I was just talking with my wife yesterday about getting into coupon shopping, we’ve heard people who are saving hundreds of dollars on groceries. The three topics you mentioned are where we’re looking to cut in the next year or so, as we are spending way too much money on luxuries that aren’t really needed. We realized that we don’t want to spend over $2500 on cable, internet, phone and cell phones in a year. It’s amazing how people spend that much and more for years and years.

Thanks again for the tips!

My cell phone really is a necessity for my line of work, but I’ve somewhat compensated by not having cable or satellite at all. More than I would ever want to watch is available on the internet.
