I was just given this amazing award from "God's Grace in Savings"

It made my day to receive this award because I am still a newbie blogger, but my desire to help people understand how to save their money is so strong and sometimes it feels like I may not be reaching anyone. I am glad to see I have been of some help :) That is my first priority of my blog!

---------------------------------------
The rules for accepting this award:

1.Thank the person that gave you the award

2. Pass this award on to 13 bloggers you've recently discovered and whom you think are fantastic!

3. Contact the Bloggers you pick to let them know they've won.

Here are 7 things about me:

1. I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter named Lilly. She is always doing funny things and looks at life with such wonder.

2. I am married to the sweetest guy who makes it possible for me to stay at home with my daughter and keep my blog going.

3. I live in Cleveland, TN. I have been here my whole life with no plans to leave.

4. I am blessed with the most supportive and helpful parents anyone could ever ask for.

5. I am a ChaCha guide in my spare time , or just in the mood to do something other than blog.

6. I love my DVR, on it you will find: One Tree Hill, Biggest Loser, Secret Life, Mercy, Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, Ghost Whisperer, Private Practice, Scrubs, Modern Family, Life Unexpected and Many more.. although I only have time to multitask and have them play in the background while I tend to "life"

7. It is my hope that I will be able to sometime this year offer FREE coupon classes in Cleveland area.

Right now Walgreens has the 24 hour Prevacid for $25.99. In the Walgreens ad that came out today, there is a $2.00 off store coupon making it $23.99. I just got the Chattanooga Times from Walgreens for $1.00 and on the back of the Parade Insert Paper there is a $10.00 off 42ct Prevacid 24hour making it $13.99. That's $0.33 a day!

There is also a $6.00 off any 14 or 28ct Prevacid 24HR on the back of the Parade also.

This post is to my fellow bloggers. I have had several readers (a lot actually) ask me to add the drugstores to my weekly coupon match-ups. I would LOVE to include the drugstore deals on my site, but as a lot of you may know, Store ads and coupon match-ups can take up a lot of time! Time that I don't really have right now. I would like to make navigation tabs for Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS so that my readers can find the weekly deals, I just do not have the time right now to cover them. If you currently cover any of those stores on a regular weekly basis and would like to be my sole link through for my readers to visit to get those deals please email me at Maranda@thefrugalfreeloader.com

This will be YOUR link in a post for the deals that week at whichever store, and it will take them ONLY to your site. I don't want to just copy your match-ups and give you credit at the end of my post. The only thing I ask is that you in return put my button on your page so that your readers may have the ability to find my page. My button can be found to the right!
If you are interested in being a primary source for one or All of the stores please contact me. I can only choose one for each or all combined stores.
Thanks!

Edit: I might as well ad if there are any other stores that I am not currently covering and you want to be my main source for, you may also email me and I will consider adding that store as well. This will help both of us out!

I had some pretty good deals this week.
I went to Publix twice and went to Food Lion.
Hubby and I also got to enjoy Free Fazoli's
Spaghetti on Monday, and Free IHOP Pancakes
on Tuesday! Which saved us a total of about $12!

My total this week before any sales or coupons
would have been: $265.98

My total spent after all sales and coupons was
only: $41.29!

I saved $224.69 this week!
Couponing is great!

You can link up at these savings posts as well:

*Frugal Follies
*Cha-Ching on a Shoestring
*The Thrifty Mama

So how did you do this week?
Please link to your savings post
below or leave a comment if you
don't have a blog to share. I look
forward to seeing your savings!
A link back to my site is appreciated.

There looks to be 1 insert in this Sundays paper.
A Smartsource.

Remember that Coupons are
regional, if you are new to couponing and want
to start collecting coupons, the Sunday paper is
the way to go! How Many should you buy?
Well it really depends on your own situation.
Some couponers say to buy as many as the
number of people that live in your home.

I normally just buy 4 copies. But if it is going to
be a BIG coupon insert week I will buy as many
as 8! It just depends on what coupons are going
to be in there that I will DEFINITELY want to
use! If you would like info on the best way to
organize your coupons go HERE.

Since coupon inserts vary by location, the smaller
the city the least amount of coupons your going to
get, My hometown, Cleveland, TN for instance,
does not get many coupons at all! I would never
buy that paper for the coupons! In my area I get the
Chattanooga Times! You can get them for a dollar
at the Dollar Tree and right now Walgreens has
them for $1. Once you start couponing you will
definitely make your money back easily!

Here are the coupons that are being released in Sunday
Newspapers. They will vary by location.
If there is a coupon listed that does not come in
your paper but you just wish you had it or really
need it, don't fret! Simply go to
Coupons Things by DeDe and order just the
coupons, OR Whole inserts that you want!
They are really fast at getting them to you!

(Thanks, Sunday Coupon Preview!)

I have put this in another post but decided
I would put this in its own post and inside
Coupon101!

Things you need to know about Publix!

#1 They are awesome! They have the nicest,
      most helpful employees! They try really
      really hard to have plenty of stock with
      their sale items. When it happens they
      are out of something, they gladly write
      you a raincheck!

# 2 Publix doubles coupons up to $0.50!
      So your $0.50 coupons you have are
      really worth $1.00 at Publix!

#3 Publix accepts competitors coupons.
     Like Bi-Lo, Food Lion and the one in
     Ooltewah accepts Target as well. I have
     never tried the drugstore coupons but if
     any of you know if they work please let me
     know!

#4 You don't have to buy both items in a BOGO
      sale. So if you just buy one, it will ring up
      half off!

#5 If you do buy 2 BOGO items you can use 2
     coupons this is where you will maximize your
     savings!

#6 Publix puts out massive amounts of store
     coupons! They are everywhere in booklets
     and flyers. It's crazy! Look around the store,
     check the front and most important, ask the
     customer service rep! ALSO Go HERE to
     sign up for the 4 different magazines or
     mailers they have, they send great coupons
     that way also! You can stack a Publix store
     coupon with a Manufacturer coupon and
     put that with a BOGO sale, you will
     probably end up with overage.
     Which brings me to ...

#7 Most Publix allow overage. It will only
     work to take money off your other
     purchases, they wont give you cash back.

Florida Publix have a little different set of rules
when it comes to coupons and BOGO.
I'm not familiar with that area, but if someone
wants to comment of email me I will add it in.

There are probably more reasons why Publix
is so great, but these are the main reasons!

Another wonderful trip at Publix! It is always
worth the drive! No store can stock my
pantry like Publix! Some of you from
Cleveland have asked how Publix works with
coupons and, Where is Publix? This will
be a long post but I want to make it as
informative as possible!

Well the Publix I Shop at is the one in
Ooltewah,TN you can see it from the
Interstate. Its not a terrible trip there and
its definitely worth it! Here are some of
the things you should know about Publix!

#1 They are awesome! They have the nicest,
      most helpful employees! They try really
      really hard to have plenty of stock with
      their sale items. When it happens they
      are out of something, they gladly write
      you a raincheck!

# 2 Publix doubles coupons up to $0.50!
      So your $0.50 coupons you have are
      really worth $1.00 at Publix!

#3 Publix accepts competitors coupons.
     Like Bi-Lo, Food Lion and the one in
     Ooltewah accepts Target as well. I have
     never tried the drugstore coupons but if
     any of you know if they work please let me
     know!

#4 You don't have to buy both items in a BOGO
      sale. So if you just buy one, it will ring up
      half off!

#5 If you do buy 2 BOGO items you can use 2
     coupons this is where you will maximize your
     savings!

#6 Publix puts out massive amounts of store
     coupons! They are everywhere in booklets
     and flyers. It's crazy! Look around the store,
     check the front and most important, ask the
     customer service rep! ALSO Go HERE to
     sign up for the 4 different magazines or
     mailers they have, they send great coupons
     that way also! You can stack a Publix store
     coupon with a Manufacturer coupon and
     put that with a BOGO sale, you will
     probably end up with overage.
     Which brings me to ...

     work to take money off your other
     purchases, they wont give you cash back.

There are probably more reasons why Publix
is so great, but these are the main reasons!

I really hope that this helps you to understand
shopping at Publix!
