My husband is in veterinary school, so we live on a pretty tight budget. Getting a few free gifts from rewards programs really helps stretch our Christmas Budget.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Here are a few rewards programs that I have used this year:</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Swagbucks -</b>This is probably my favorite rewards site - because I can earn cash back or points for activities I am doing anyway. <a href="http://strk.enlnks.com/aff_c?offer_id=339&aff_id=1496">Swagbucks</a> is a site that offers rewards for doing online activities including searching the internet, shopping online, watching videos, and printing and redeeming coupons.<b> </b><a href="http://strk.enlnks.com/aff_c?offer_id=339&aff_id=1496">Sign up here</a> to start earning! <br />
<br />
You can redeem 450 points for a $5 Amazon Gift Card. I love Amazon - especially for Christmas shopping!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Pampers Gifts to Grow Rewards Program -</b> <a href="http://strk.enlnks.com/aff_c?offer_id=1522&aff_id=1496">Sign up here</a> and earn 100 free points just for joining! Enter codes from pampers diapers and wipes, and use the points to purchase items from their rewards store. The items in the rewards store change frequently - so watch for items that are useful for you!<br />
<br />
I recently used my points to get this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GA90XC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000GA90XC&linkCode=as2&tag=thecoubas-20&linkId=WXWX6EICXIOTE2MK">Melissa & Doug Alphabet Peg Puzzle</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thecoubas-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000GA90XC" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
(I might be a little in love with Melissa and Doug toys). This will be a Christmas Present for my son - and it was free! <br />
<br />
<b>Huggies Rewards Program -</b> Sign up here and earn 50 points! Enter codes found on diapers and wipes and use these points to purchase items from their rewards catalog. This catalog has a lot of fun toys to choose from for under 1000 points.<br />
<br />
Earlier this year I used my codes to purchase this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000658L5/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0000658L5&linkCode=as2&tag=thecoubas-20&linkId=6WHMLVJQ37YFT3Q7">Melissa & Doug Stacking Train</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thecoubas-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0000658L5" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />. <br />
<br />
<b>Kellogg's Family Rewards -</b> Visit the site <a href="https://www.kelloggsfamilyrewards.com/en_US/login.html">here</a> to sign up. I have not used this one as much - but it is a nice one to be aware of. This month I ordered a free book with codes from cereal I had purchased on sale. It is easy to miss or forget to look at the offers on cereal boxes (at least for me). Kelloggs often has nice rewards - so read your cereal boxes!<br />

My husband and I have been married for just under 6 years - and have moved 8 times! Through the packing and moving process, we have been able to do a little evaluating and de-junking.<br />
<br />
I realized during this process that one day- I hope in the not terribly distant future, we will live somewhere for longer than a year. Then the de-junking process will have to become a part of our daily lives instead of a moving task.<br />
<br />
Here are a few ways that we try to cut back on clutter along with ideas that I have for managing it as our family grows. I am learning a lot from this moving stage of life that I hope will help me keep things simple as life gets more complicated. I am excited to hear your ideas as well- so please share!<br />
<u><b><br />
</b></u><br />
<u><b>Step One: Evaluate Purchases</b></u><br />
This is where it all starts- in the store. Daniel and I try to evaluate our purchases based on budget & space. In times when we really don't have the money to spend, it is great to know how to substitute and do without. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you make a purchase:<br />
<ul>
<li>Do you really need it? </li>
<li>Can you afford it? </li>
<li>Will it improve your quality of life? </li>
<li>Is there something you already have that would work as a substitute?</li>
<li>Is there room for it? </li>
<li>Do we need to get rid of something else to make room for this item?</li>
</ul>
Using these questions to evaluate our purchases not only eliminates unnecessary purchases. It also makes us more pleased with the purchases we do make, because we know they are items we really want and can afford. This process significantly reduces clutter in our home.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 2: Organize</b></u><br />
It does not seam to matter if our apartment is 500 sq. ft. or 1100 sq. ft., it is easy to fill the space with our stuff. My conclusion is that clutter is not always caused by having too much stuff or too little space. Sometimes we just need to figure out a way to better utilize the space that we have.<br />
<br />
For example- I have my stockpile of personal care products in totes. If I tried to organize all these items in a cupboard, they would take up a ridiculous amount of space. Instead I have 2 totes stuffed full. I store the totes in a closet and know right where to look when I need more toothpaste.<br />
<br />
We have also found that it is much easier to keep things clean and organized if everything has a place.<br />
<br />
<u>For example</u>- I currently have a basket in our living room where I keep a burp cloth, change of clothes, and diaper changing items for our son. These items all have a place in his bedroom, but I use them in the living room. I use to put them away in his room every night, but by the end of the day these items would be scattered throughout the living room. Instead of fighting it, I brought this basket into the living room to make a place for them where I use them most.<br />
<br />
What ways have you found to organize your stuff and reduce clutter?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Step 3- Don't Keep What You Won't Use</u></b><br />
This is the one that I struggle with the most. I have a hard time getting rid of things- I always convince myself that I will use it one day (even though I haven't for years).<br />
<br />
Here are a few ways to get rid of items you don't use: <br />
<ul>
<li>Give gently used items to a shelter or a needy family you know. It is much easier for me to get rid of things if I know that I am giving it to someone in need. This can also be a great way to teach your children to give. </li>
<li>Sell useful items you no longer use. Sometimes we keep items because we feel like we have an investment in them. If the item is really worth a lot, try to sell it. Get together with friends or family and have a garage sale once a year.</li>
<li>Swap unused items with friends. Host a spring cleaning swap and encourage friends and neighbors to bring the stuff they no longer use. Let everyone swap their old items for items they will use. Donate all the items that are not taken to a local charity.</li>
</ul>
By discarding things we don't really need or use, we cut the clutter. The benefit- less stuff to organize, put away, and clean. <br />

My Mother introduced us to this meal. Daniel and I love it for three reasons- it is delicious, simple, and innexpensive.<br />
<strong><u>Ingredients:</u></strong><br />
1 lb Pork cut in 2"x1" pieces<br />
<em>(I bought boneless pork sirloin in a value pack at Winco. I then divided the meat and froze it for 4 meals.)</em><br />
Oil<br />
<br />
1 small onion<br />
BBQ Sauce<br />
1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt<br />
1/2 tsp. Pepper<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Instructions:</u></strong><br />
Season pork with pepper & garlic salt and cook in oil until outside is brown. You just want to brown the outside layer. Dice onion. Place browned pork and onion in crock pot. Cover in BBQ sauce. Cook on Low for 4 hours or until tender. I serve this with <a href="http://thecouponbasics.blogspot.com/2009/12/weekly-recipe_18.html">cheesy potatoes</a>,<a href="http://thecouponbasics.blogspot.com/2009/12/twice-baked-potatoes.html"> twice baked</a> potatoes, or seasoned potatoe wedges.<br />

We now live in a small town that only has one grocery store with high prices. Our goal is to plan our menu enough in advance to be able to go shopping once every 2 weeks in Pocatello where we can get much better prices. Menu planning allows us to do this. It also helps my week go much smoother. <a href="http://s816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/leadawnbg/Coupon%20stuff/?action=view&current=Signature.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/leadawnbg/Coupon%20stuff/Signature.png" /></a>LeaDawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619774136568237994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894798731100561019.post-49593981396762146072011-04-13T13:40:00.000-06:002011-04-13T13:40:24.604-06:00$24 Cheaper Kindle eReadersIf you are considering buying a Kindle, here is a possible option that will save you $24!<br />

<span></span>Amazon now is offering a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Device-Display/dp/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&tag=thecoubas-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">$115 Kindle</a>. This Kindle is identical to the $139 Kindle except it has sponsered screen savers. The sponsered images will not apear in your books, just the screen saver.<br />
<br />
This could be a great way to save on a Kindle if you are in the market!<br />

Here are 2 possible scenarios:<br />
<br />
<strong>Buy 3 Kellogg's Cereal 3 for $5</strong><br />
<em>(Froot Loops, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes)</em> Get 1 Free Gallon of Milk <em>(I normally pay around $2.00)</em><br />
Pay $5 for 3 boxes of cereal & 1 gallon of milk<br />
<strong>Like Paying $2.00 for milk and $1.00 per box of cereal</strong><br />
<br />
If those are cereals you enjoy, that is not a bad price. There have not been a lot of great cereal deals lately. But if you like Rice Crispies, this scenario is a much sweeter deal!<br />
<br />
<strong>Buy 10 Kellogg's Rice Crispies 3 for $5</strong><br />
Get 3 Free Gallons of Milk<br />
Pay $16.67 plus tax<br />

<br />
I am sorry I am so late on posting this. I have not looked at the Albertsons add for a few weeks. Here are a few other great deals at Albertsons this week:<br />
<br />
<strong>Albertson's 5 lb All Purpose Flour $.99</strong><br />
<strong>Albertson's canned Vegetables 3 for $1.00</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Prices vary by region. I verified these deals in the Pocatello and Rexburg add.</em><br />

I got 30 boxes. 20 of those are for my sisters. I went to Smith's and Winco. Total I spent just under $35.<br />
<br />
At Smith's I bought pasta, lettuce, grapes, apples, sour cream(on sale for $0.98) and BBQ Sauce, and bread marked down to $0.99 and spent $10.93.<br />
<br />
At Winco I got bannanas, yeast, soy sauce, flax seed, tortillas, milk <em>(4 gallons to last 2 weeks), </em>pasta sauce, and apple juice and spent $23.13.<br />
<br />
With menu planning & using items from our pantry we were able to go 2 weeks between shopping trips. Our plan is to continue doing that to save time and money on fuel. <br />

We now live in a small town that only has one grocery store with high prices. Our goal is to plan our menu enough in advance to be able to go shopping once every 2 weeks in Pocatello where we can get much better prices. Menu planning allows us to do this. It also helps my week go much smoother. <a href="http://s816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/leadawnbg/Coupon%20stuff/?action=view&current=Signature.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz84/leadawnbg/Coupon%20stuff/Signature.png" /></a>LeaDawnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07619774136568237994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894798731100561019.post-70185592796213355032011-03-26T08:00:00.003-06:002011-03-26T08:00:11.017-06:00My Top 3 Favorite Coupons at Coupons.comThere are some great coupons available right now.
