Today I’m guest posting at Rediscovering Domesticity, a blog “inspiring Moms to thrive”.
Audra Michelle and Dena have created 30 days to Save some green–the entire month of November is devoted to saving money–I’m all about that!!!
Be Blessed.

I get great deals on Starbucks coffee–about once every 3 months I get $1 or $1.50 off coupons for Starbucks coffee–then I wait for the sale–for $6 a bag. Then if you save the bag you can “cash” that in for a free cup of coffee–a value of $1.50.
I boil water in my tea pot, then use a pour over method–the best coffee ever!
I found that I was pouring too much coffee down the drain, then I went through a phase of not drinking coffee, now I’m back to have a cup in the morning . . .
A few months ago I noticed that Starbucks has free apps. At first I ignored them until I saw and app that my nephew had . . . I had seen the kids play it and free is free!
Some of the free apps from Starbucks
Do I use all these apps? No–I do pick them up and give them to kids that I think might like them–it is fun, free, and a great excuse to go into Starbucks (which is not very difficult because the grocery store and Target both have them)!
Be blessed as you find fun ways to save money.
today I am linking up with Frugal Fridays
This week I found some great deals in our local Dominicks store–to be honest and this is my 31 days of honest . . . I’ve been a little uninspired in the kitchen so I go “trolling” for ideas. For those of you who have not grown up fishing–“trolling” is a way of catching fish, by driving the boat really slow in hopes that something will bite. So I push my cart really slow through the store and wait for fish to jump in my cart–or a deal!
These are the deals that I found this week:
tea at Target–$4.64 on clearance for $2.32 and then I used the $2 off coupon that was on the box! I bought 4 boxes of tea. I drink a lot of tea and I’ll give some of this to the PADS group that I help out with. I also have the Target red card–so really it was and extra 5% off 32 cents!
At the grocery store, I discovered a few new places where they put clearance food–these items are 50% off! I do not buy meat often but when they have organic or Laura’s beef on sale or in clearance I clear the shelves!
this is not a brand that I normally buy–but I love adding it to soup because it doesn’t fall apart like other pasta
my favorite pizza sauce
I love this cheese–especially when it is 50% off!
Last week I also found pies in the frozen food section–they had pumpkin, sweet potato and Apple Streusel–all Sara Lee brand–normally I bake my pies so I had to buy one just to see if it would be ok for PADS. My family thought it was great. So I bought several more (50% off) and a group of us (the entire Moms group) will bake them up and prepare a Thanksgiving Feast for 50 people who are in need.
My plan is to share each Friday how I’m able to be frugal. I’m linking up with Frugal Fridays!
