Default Re: Tracking savings before and after learning from Flash

I live on a small fixed income,share an apartment with my sister and am paying off two loans and some debt.

I was searching the web one day and came across "Flash's Blog",this site and got inspired.I was looking for ways to stretch what money I have,that was about 5 months ago.

Since them I now coupon,stockpile and do rebates.

I'm slowly buiding a stockpile, something as kids we never had.No more bare cupboards.

I have a small freezer,though I have trouble protecting stuff from freezer burn. I'll have to start a thread for help with that.

My best savings happen when I can combine a great coupon with the perfect sale,for instance this week at Shaw's Wish-bone dressing was 3/$5.

I bought 5 16oz bottles and 1 spritzer.

6 bottles=$10
6 .60/1 coupons-doubled=$7.20
$10-$7.20=$2.80
$2.80-$3.99 rebate for spritzer= +$1.19
$1.19 + I recieved a save $4 on yor next order catalina=$5.19

So in the end I will make $5.19 on this deal.

I just love it.!!!!!! Thanks Flash
