Coupon for Change (2/29-3/6)

Coupon for Change is a new weekly post to go along with the Coupon Matchups.  It's simply a list of $1 and under items that would make great donation items. 

Spend $1 each week as you shop and add the item(s) to your donation box.  When your box is full, drop it off at your favorite food bank!  You'll barely notice spending that extra dollar at the checkout. 

But, you will notice what a wonderful thing you're doing when your dontation box begins to overflow!  Just remember, check the expiration dates as you shop.  You'll want to get items that won't expire for a while, I look for an expiration date around May 2013.

Cuckoo for Coupon Deals: Kmart Matchup

Looking for ways to save at Kmart this week?  Head over to Cuckoo for Coupon Deals for the weekly ad matchup.  There are a couple scenarios for Double Couponing this week, too!  NOTE: If you get the free bread and cheese, I do not think you can also get the free Lunchable.

Dollar General: $5 off $20 Purchase, Select Departments; 3/4-3/5

This coupon is a little more limited than the $5 off coupons we've been seeing at Dollar General.  But, you only need to spend $20 to take advantage of this $5 savings!  Of course, you do need to do your shopping in the Home Decor, Housewares, Kitchen, Bed Pillows, Sheets & Rugs departments!  I don't know of any manufacturer's coupons to combine with this offer, but saving $5 is great if you need any of these items.  In fact, I am in the market for more kitchen storage bowls.  Wouldn't this coupon be great for shower shopping or newlyweds?  Need the coupon?  Print it from the Dollar General website!  Coupon good for shopping on March 3rd and 4th!

Culinary Crafts: Take a Flying Leap

It's time for another great weekly post from Culinary Crafts!  I've always been a little intrigued by leap year so I'm glad Leigh has shared some really interesting facts in Take a Flying Leap.  If you're a leap year baby, when do you celebrate your birthday?  February 28th or March 1st?  If I was a leap year baby, I'd be having one heck of a party every four years to celebrate it!  Oh, and don't forget that Leigh shares great recipes with us each week!  If you're a fan of the fried pickle, you're not going to want to miss this week's recipes!  I'm adding that one to my Pinterest board for future reference!  In fact, I created a new pin board just for that recipe!  And, as always, you can read Leigh's articles on iSurf News!  Happy Friday, y'all!

Dollar General: Print Your $5 Coupon TODAY

Don't forget to print your Dollar General Save $5 coupon today!  DON'T wait until tomorrow to print it!  It'll be gone from the website!  I procrastinated last time and missed the printable coupon!  I was not happy!  Thankfully you can print it right from your home computer right from the coupon page on the Dollar General website!  Or, you can stop in at a Dollar General location and buy something inexpensive to get the coupon on the bottom of your receipt!

Coupon Snob Recommends Comfort Baby Products

I tend to overlook baby deals since my kiddos were just finishing up the "pull-ups" phase last year as I began couponing.  It kind of feels like I've lost my baby shopping abilities now that I no longer have to stroll the diaper and formula ilses!  And oh how I wish I had been couponing for the past six years!  The money I could have saved on diapers alone!  Any hoo, if you have bambinos, you may want to check out a recent post from The Coupon Snob where she reviews the Comforts baby products from Kroger.  I never used them, but I like how she recommends them based on performance and price!  (I did try store-brand pullups a few times and never thought they were as good as the real thing).  And, I like even more that Kroger offers eCoupons for the Comforts Brand!

Are You Prepared for Mother Nature?

No one can better prepare for an emergency than a couponer can!  Right?  And all Hopkins Countians recall the ice storm of the century.   So, I am happy to recommend a blog post titled "Averting Disaster" by the uber-cute couple behind the blog Young House Love.  I hope their post will help and inspire you to get your Emergecy Plan started!
