Cutting Costs with Coupons

As a consumer you can literally save hundreds of dollars every year by just using discount coupons. Some shoppers say they have cut their grocery bill by 50 by using coupons, which is a significant savings! In the long run, you would be surprised at how much you can save just by taking the time to clip a coupon.

Organizing your coupons can help you to locate items quicker and makes it a breeze to actually use your grocery coupons. While it may take you a few extra moments when you are shopping, the savings can be worth the time. Go to your local discount store and pick up one of those folders that look like an accordion; they are sometimes called coupon caddies. Label each section by groups; I usually group my coupons by classification such as Dairy, Frozen Foods, Personal Needs, and Baking etc... You can organize your coupons in which ever way works best for you.

Here is some simple money saving tips when using coupons:

1. Check the sale papers for all supermarkets in your general area before going shopping. The reason I suggest doing this is because not every store has the same item on sale, so you may find what you are looking for at another store cheaper and if you have a coupon you can save even more money. I have used this technique several times and was able to get items at a substantial savings.

2. Compare prices of similar items. You may be able to get a different brand cheaper without a coupon. Don’t buy an item just because you have a coupon for it.

3. Many retailers will double the face value of a coupon up to a dollar. Be price cautious though, even doubling a coupon may not be the most cost saving.

4. Plan you shopping list and gather the coupons you want to use before heading to the store. This can save you time at the store.

5. Combining store sales with coupons can save you the most money. Take advantage of the double coupons which can save you even more!

6. Check online for store sales, some retailers offer coupons you can print online before heading out to the store.

7. Many retailers will print on the receipt how much you actually saved that day shopping. Keep a simple log of the savings so you can see exactly how much you are cutting costs.

Look for coupons online! Many manufactures’ also offer coupons you can print online for free! Coupon Emporium (http://www.couponemporium.com) has new weekly offers that you can print for free or use a coupon code when making online purchases.
Using these tips you’ll be well on your way to saving money using coupons!

Make First Birthday Invitations Really Special

For parents who are planning to celebrate the first special day of their child, a lot of help can be provided by the Internet when it comes to creating first birthday invitations. Thousands of ideas on how to design invitations are offered by several greeting card Web sites. Party planning tips are also available for those who are not experts at this task.

First birthday invitations should be special and worthy of the occasion. The recipients should be able to get an idea of how important the celebration is to the birthday celebrant?s parents and relatives. For this kind of invitation, going cute is the best way to make it work.

For baby birthdays, parents can get ideas from sites such as inkidesign, MyGatsby.com, Partycat.com, Family Internet and a lot more on how to design invitations. They can print the free samples offered by these sites and have them copied. If parents prefer to make it really personal, they can make the invitations themselves. Whether they decide to use free printable invites of get creative, the Internet would be the best place to get some creative ideas.

Some parents prefer to use non-traditional methods of inviting guests to their baby?s first birthday. Since most of the party attendees would be kids (with their parents), sending out invites using toys and miniature teddy bears might be a good idea. Dinosaurs, fairies and cuddly animals are among children?s favorite tokens. Sending out these cute invitations would encourage parents and children to attend and make the day memorable.

Baby parties should be fun and full of activities for kids. In sending out invites, let the kids know that they will have a lot of fun things to do like games and kiddie activities. If there are special activities like treasure hunting or the party requires guests to wear a costume, put the information on the invitations to give parents time to prepare their children?s props. It is also advisable to ask for other parents? ideas on what food their kids would like to eat at the party and whether any of them has any allergy. The first party of your baby should not be ruined by rashes and sickness if it turned out that one of the guests is not allowed to eat a particular food from your menu.

Making first birthday invitations could be very exciting for parents. Whether they have done it before or would be doing it for the first time, help is very much available, particularly from the Internet. They just need to remember that the primary guests will be kids and there are limitations when it comes to children?s parties and they?d better be prepared for that.
