Trying to keep up with my incoming checks, trades/barter stuff better than I did in 2011. Last year I missed both of my largest months - Jan and Aug totals.
I have tried to keep up with spending like coupons used, money for coupons and rebates and postage used. Just too many totals for in and out expenses,,,,nope - not this year. Just gonna keep writing in here what I cashed/deposited. Still gonna buy myself a nice convertible car this summer (kids are grown and retirement...

Ok, wasn't as organized as I thought. Missing Jan 2011 and July 2011 totals
I cashed, bartered, traded with stockpile for a total of 6747.92 - minus the 2 months I didn't account for. Not too shabby. | | | Views 73

In the past it wasn't my money I was shopping with, but rebate money. I actually made money on rebates. First, I live in a nbpn or no beer purchase necessary state. Many many states are npbn. 2nd, I made money off rebates because several companies had what I call 100% ers. Now those rebates good on $15 of $15 of x (insert soda, pizza, chips, fruit, meat, paper products, salsa, spice or many other items,,,,,, here) are NEARLY extinct. The $10/10 $5/5 $20/20 do still exist, but are super...

Target
I recently read one of our members post about target and their printables. It was suggested to save ink and paper we could print the coupons out at the store.
Well I already tried that this summer.
First of all my closest super target is about an hour away. Then next closest is a regular target and it's 35 minutes away.
Told you guys I am in the boonies.
Anyway,
This summer I decided I could pick up the $1 free cheese and the...
