I'm on a mission.................
I'm thinking about starting a series for saving money in ways other than coupons!
For instance - I changed my cell phone provider 3 months ago and dropped my bill from over $300 a month to $170 a month. That's $1500+ a year right there! (there's 5 phones on that bill - LOL)
I'm looking for other ways to cut household expenses now - such as looking into switching from the cable company we currently have to a dish provider (who is offering some great deals right now if you sign a 2 year contract), reviewing insurance policies (homeowners, car, life) to see if I can get the same coverage for lower rates, changing banks.....which is a hard one for me cause I've been with this bank 20 years to save on monthly fee's, etc.
I'll start a new page for these items so I don't muck up all the couponing stuff if that's what you're here for. That way if you're interested you can look.....if you're not you don't need to weed through the stuff to find what you're wanting!
Please feel free to make this a collaborative effort - I am by no means an expert in this field, but really need to get the bills down to a reasonable level before my husband retires and we're living on 50% of his pay until he finds a job! Comment on posts - or if you have ideas that you'd like to guest blog please e-mail them to me at dollarstretcher1001@yahoo.com for inclusion!
Thanks!!

This is Realistic Shopping - 63% savings at Kroger
As I was walking out to my car from my trip to Kroger, a little disappointed that I didn't do better so I'd have something to "brag" about here, I realized that last week I told you my perception of realistic couponing, however I have not been posting the realistic side of my trips. Yes - I post the 70%+ or the 80%+ savings - I've even posted a couple 100% saving trips - but never once have I posted the "average" trip.
So here goes - I'm not really proud and don't feel I did that well today - but I did get things that we WANTED rather than just things I had coupons for!
Here's what I got:
1 box of Ice Cream Sandwiches
2 boxes of Cocoa Krispies
2 boxes of Ritz Bitz sandwiches
2 boxes of Pepperidge Farms Popovers (for dessert tomorrow night)
2 packages of Chips Ahoy
2 Purina busy bones
6 Boxes of Ronzoni Pasta
4 Bags of Sunflower Seeds (these were on sale for $1.00 and it's baseball season - we pay $2.49 at the
local 7-11)
4 Kraft BBQ sauce
4 Powerade
2 Gatorade
2 Frito's
1 Martha Stewart coffee cake mix
6 2 ltrs of Pepsi
2 packages of Eckrich Sausage
Total before Kroger Savings and Coupons: $96.97
Paid: $36.38
TOTAL SAVINGS: 63%
So while I was disappointed I didn't do better - I think I still did ok. I didn't get the Eckrich Hot Dogs I went for (10/$10 ending today) since they were out - but got a raincheck for when they do restock, and they're on sale this week at Meijer so all is good!
So there you have it......it's not a 90%+ savings trip - but it's still not a bad trip in my opinion!

Kroger Reminder
I've been told they changed their coupon policy and you can no longer "stack" the electronic coupons on your card with a MQ.
So what I've done today is remove all electronic coupons from my card. As I'm putting together the deals I will let you know if you should grab an electronic coupon and add it to your card, or use one that you have in your binders.
Just don't want you running into any hassle when you get to the store....like my girlfriend did!

Realistically Speaking
Do you have the "Coupon Craze" that has been started recently due to some television programming?
First - I think that we all need to remember that this is television, so it's likely not showing you exactly what the reality of couponing is. It has indeed brought to light the value in couponing, but it has also brought with it the dark side of couponing, and potentially given some viewers some unrealistic expectations.
Do you expect to pick up a newspaper this weekend, clip your coupons, and head to the grocery store to save 90%? If so I can't help you!
However, if you want to consistently save 50% or more on your grocery bill I can help!
First - if you haven't already read the "How Do I Get Started?" post please do! Getting started takes time. Don't expect a 50% savings week 1. Don't even expect a 50% savings on week 2! It takes a while to build up your savings, but you will consistently start to save a little more each week on your grocery bill, and be able to pick up some HBA items along the way for FREE!
You will need to devote some time to couponing each and every week. The typical shopper will probably spend about 45 - 60 minutes clipping coupons and getting their lists together for their weekly trips, depending on how many stores you plan to shop at.
I do not have 60 - 70 hours a week to devote to couponing....what about you? I am an Air Force wife, mom of 7 (for which 4 still live at home), and I work full-time. I coupon in my "free time". My time is worth something, and I will not take time away from my family for couponing.
You will not notice a huge increase in the amount of time that you are spending at the store. It only takes a couple minutes to pull coupons out of your binder as you're putting items in your cart, and a few minutes to scan the coupons. Most of the work is done before you leave the house!
To keep your time to a minimum, follow coupon sites that match up deals for you, like mine. Another site you may be interested in, especially if you live outside of Michigan, is WeUseCoupons. If you sign up on their site be sure to let them know stretchthatdollar invited you! All you have to do now is visit my site, or the site of your choice, and read through the deal match ups that have already been put together for you and make your own shopping list from these match ups.
While we're being realistic, who needs enough toilet paper to last 20 years? Who wants a stockpile of 100+ bags of diapers if there's nobody in your home who wears them? Who has room to store that?? I know I don't. I do, however, have a stockpile. Right now my stockpile includes 96 rolls of toilet paper - enough for about 3 months in my house. I do not have 100 deodorants, or body washes, or anything like that. My deodorant stockpile stands are 10 today, and with 6 of us that is just about 60 days worth....maybe. I buy what I know we will be using for the next 3 months, knowing that the sales cycle, and I will be able to get another sale again in a couple months to restock. If I happen across a sale and don't need it to restock my stockpile for the next 3 months I will still pick it up, but those items will be donated to one of multiple organizations I am a fan of!
You still with me? Good! That means you're serious about saving money, and your bubble hasn't been popped by my "realistic view" of couponing! I'm not Debbie Downer - really! I just don't want you thinkig that you're going to visit my site, or any other site for that matter, and walk out tomorrow saving 90% on your bill, then being disappointed and giving up! You will save money - and you will have those incredible trips.....just not everytime out!

How Do I Get Started?
I've been asked repeatedly by complete strangers, friends, and family.......How Do I Get Started?
It's easy really - pick up a Sunday newspaper! Ok that seems like a no-brainer right? But you absolutely can not coupon if you do not have coupons! So it's important to get your collection going!
I buy 5 newspapers minimum each week. Now that may seem like a lot for some of you, and it might well be. I've always went with the rule of one paper per person living in the house. That means come November when my husband retires from the Air Force and moves back here to Michigan I'll be buying 6. (I make him buy his own and get the coupons right now) This allows you to get enough coupons to buy multiples of the FREE items, or next to FREE items, so that you can start a stockpile. I'm not a huge stockpile person, but I have a pretty decent stockpile going right now. (I'll post my stockpile contents in a separate post)
Get organized! Another no-brainer? One would think - but for the longest time I thought I could simply clip the coupons, pile them up, grab the pile and head to the grocery store and expected to save money. And I did save a little, but nothing to write home (or a blog) about! If you can't find the coupon quickly you're going to HATE couponing! You need a binder! I tried the little coupon wallets, I tried envelopes, and eventually I gave in an got a binder. I don't know what I did without it, and quite honestly I save way more now that I have it. My shopping trips take less time too!
Start small. Don't think that you're going to grab a Sunday paper this week and then hit the local grocery store and save 90%. You will not be able to shop like the women and men on Extreme Couponers week over week. Keep in mind they're on television, and they're all doing their biggest haul ever, so they don't get those results all the time, and you shouldn't expect to either.
Find a place to get information from quickly. Coupon match-ups are hard to do - especially if you're just starting out. The last thing you need to worry about is the math behind a coupon! Sites like Stretch that Dollar (where you are now) or WeUseCoupons are a great place to get a lot of information in a little time. (hey if you do sign up on WeUseCoupons remember to tell them that stretchthatdollar sent you!) We do the work for you - so all you have to do is grab your binder, print a list, and head to the store.
Never leave home without it! There's lots of things some of us never leave home without....our cell phones, wallets, credit cards, lipstick, etc. Add your coupon binder to that "never leave home without it" list! I keep mine in a bag so when I pick up my purse to head out I pick up my bag that has my binder, scissors, sale ads for the week, etc. as well. That way if I'm called on the way home for an "emergency" stop to get ice cream, milk, a protractor (yep - that actually happened just this week) I have my coupons with me and if I happen to run across a great deal I can pick it up. (Remember to check the clearance section of EVERY store you're in EVERY time you're in it!)
Above everything else don't get discouraged. There will be scissor accidents, missing inserts from your newspaper because some inconsiderate person went through and took them out but only bought 1 paper, paper cuts, unfriendly cashiers, people that look at you like you have 3 heads when you walk into the store carrying a binder full of coupons and pick up a protractor, math errors, etc. It's going to happen. It happens to the best of us. Just keep your head up, know that you're on the right track, and keep plugging away!
