Money Saving Monday ~ Patience

Growing up, my parents loved to yard sale (they still do, actually), and it was at these yard sales I learned a lot of things about good deals, haggling, and waiting for the right time to buy something. This carries into my “grown-up” life in such a way that when I decide I want to buy a couch for the spare bedroom (dubbed the “nap and color” room by the kids), I don't go out and go furniture shopping- I shop around. I browse Craigslist and yard sales (even Goodwill prices their furniture too high for my taste!). It's not just high-ticket items either, I shop year-round for Christmas and birthday presents. The fishtank we currently have in our house I got for $20 at a yard sale, similar to ones we looked at in the hundreds.

Today, we live in an instant society- from instant mashed potatoes to take-it-home-now cars, we want what we want the moment we decide that we want it.

My money-saving advice? WAIT. Think about why you want what you want. Don't be ruled by your impulses and instead be ruled by logic and your budget. Waiting also ensures that you aren't wasting your hard-earned money on something that you find cheaper for yourself the next week.

Merry savings to all and to all some spare change,
Laura

Earn FREE Gift cards, jewelry, household goods and much more by scanning products you already buy!


My Gramma has been a NCP member since my great grandfather passed on, he did it before her. It is a fabulous way for them to not only keep track of what they buy but to earn rewards as well.

How does it work?
You apply to become a member and when accepted they send you a scanner
then its easy as pie you just go about life as normal and when you buy stuff you scan the bar codes and enter the information they ask for such as store you purchased from. Total purchase amount, any discounts used. They then save the information and award you points.
No need to spend extra money, no need to really do anything more than scan the barcodes as you put away the stuff you buy. My gramma has earned gift cards, a really nice set of towels, multiple presents for my siblings and I for Christmas when we were younger, and recently got a speaker dock for the Ipod I got my grampa for Christmas.

How do you apply?
Simply go here and then fill out the form they will notify you when they need someone with households like yours and once your in your in till you wanna get out!

I already applied should I reapply?
I would say yes, I reapply every month-two months recently I forgot and they sent me a letter asking me to reapply in order to update my information. They want to make sure to have the correct info so they can pick you when they need a family like yours?

Why do they pay us for scanning stuff?
Statistics, they are paying you in points for giving them statistics on what type of families by what. Dont worry the company does not share any of your personal info. So what are you waiting for? Join now!

Great Coupons for Huggies Diapers up to $3.50 off!

How about some great diaper coupons!
$3 off any 1 Huggies pack of diapers (60+ count) - Look in Household

Save 10% on SimplyInk plus get FREE shipping on orders $55 and up

I don't know about you but I spend a ton on ink.. I'm talking way too much! Between shipping labels, coupons, list, and the hard copies of things for TCF, my printer is an essential item in my house. The problem is ink is expensive, and Ill admit it I don't like driving to the office supply store to get it Im a fan of deliver it to my door. So when I saw that SimplyInk would give me a 10% discount plus offer free shipping on orders over $55 I was like score! So I did a little research now my canon has expensive ink if Im lucky its on sale for $25 normally its around $30. They sell my black ink for $18.99!! So round that up to $19... figuring that's an $11 saving, now lets assume I use 1 cartridge per month, that would be $11x12 which would equal a savings of $132 in a year, now that's not counting the savings on gas money, and the savings in your time. My suggestion buy more than one cartridge pay the $55 or more get free shipping and then you have the cartridges when you need them!


I will be making a little money if you buy through this link. Thank you for your support.
