I love getting free movies with Redbox codes. Also Family Video offered free videos for A's on report cards. Both of my kids took advantage of that. It is all about watching your pennies because it all adds up to real money.
I blogged about your giveaway and left a link. Thanks!!

I've learned a lot of money saving tips by reading various blogs. For instance, I've learned that CVS often has awesome deals. By stacking a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon you save more. And sometimes you even get rewards in the form of a receipt for money off your next shopping trip. At Walgreen's recently I did quite well with Prilosec. It was on sale and it had a $5 register reward. When the reward didn't print the store manager simply refunded me the $5 on the spot. Additionally, when I opened the package there was a $5 rebate for a gasoline purchase.
I am contstantly clipping coupons and I am subscribed to sunday newspapers soley for the coupons. And I put the dates of the coupons expiring on my calanders so I won't let one go to waste if I forget, and cross one out after I use it.

I definitely price compare.....and use the free code on Redbox movies.
Buying off clearance too.
I never pay full price for anything!
Save money on fresh produce by shopping for it at a Mexican Grocery. It'll be 1/3 the price of the major grocery chains, and just as good.
I love to match coupons w/ sales! :)
I know suscribe to your feed via google reader! LOVE your blog!
I send emails to the companys of the products I use most and they will usually send me good coupons through postal mail.

A money saving tip is USE the library. They have books, yes, but they have c.d.'s and movies...it's free and you don't have to keep renting or buying certain things if they are available at the library.

I save money on everyday necessities by matching coupons with the best store prices. Most of the time you can get things like deodorant & toothpaste for free. CVS used to be my favorite money-saving place, but they're slacking recently. :P Money-saving blogs are a lifesaver. They make it so easy to get the best deals!

I save money by doing a lot of comparison shopping before buying big ticket items, and I shop online through ebates. Thanks for the giveaway!
We bring our own coffee and canned soda (bought on sale) to work instead of buying it there.
I clip coupons and match them to sales to maximize savings.

I match coupons with current sales. Definitely stock up with B1G1!!!
Great giveaway!
I always compare coupons with sales. Love B1G1!!
I am always on the hunt for a good deal by shopping the ads. I also recently started making my own bread for pennies a loaf and that has save us a lot being we eat lots of sandwiches during summer. Thanks for the giveaway!
Combine store and manufacturer's coupons.
I try to watch the sales (like Rite Aid's) with rebates that make the product free and find a coupon to boot so I'm actually getting PAID to use the product! Rite Aid is the only local store that has sales and rebates...:( I am also slowly replacing all my regular light bulbs with the curly efficient kind. OUr winters are long and dark, so we need to watch our electricity usage. I also hang laundry outside in the summer and on a rack in the winter to use the dryer less.
I join every resturants eclub that I can think of in order to get coupons...eating out is my weakness! :)
If you type in Wally WOrld in google, WalMart is the first listing.
I use coupons for everything!
use coupons!!!!
my daughter and I shop clearances at stores like Kohls-we get coupsons in mail to get a certain percantage off which includes clearance
shop at Goodwill where my daughter finds name brands for 5.oo or less

I clip coupons and match my coupons with the sales. I save lots of money!
I save money by contacting the comapies whos products I use most often and asking for coupons I usually get free product coupons.
I save money by buying shelf-stable milk.
TO save money, we use coupons and buy in bulk when an item is on sale so that we have enough on hand when it is not on sale. I have a foodsaver so I repackage large quantities into family size portions.
Walmart always has great deals going on. I love Walmart! Have a safe a blessed 4th!
I use coupons, price match, and shop sales along with my list.

I save money by rolling ECBs at CVS...always trying to spend very little out of picket, while stocking up on our household needs.
Like most others I save lately by clipping and printing coupons while following many frugal blogs!
I simply try to walk to the grocery store in the mornings for little trips...I get a workout and I get to start off the morning in quietness.

Cloth diapering has been my best money saver lately!
I clip coupons and watch ads, but I also buy the reduced veggies and fruit and chop them up when I get home and freeze for later for breads, smoothies, etc. you can never tell it was almost over ripe. Thanks for the contest!
I love shopping the clearance racks at stores and when looking to buy a big purchase item, we look around as long as it takes to find the lowest price we can. It's fun when you make it a game!
Just a tip for thrift store shopping. Some people only think of shopping for clothes at thrift stores, but you can also buy cupcake pans, candles, small household electronics, etc. I bought my bread machine at a thrift store for $5 a couple of years ago and it still works perfectly!
Dont buy what you dont need. Is it really a deal if it gathers dust?
I always stock up when stuff is on sale & can just buy fruit & meat on bad sale weeks! scg00387 at yahoo.com
I always stock up when stuff is on sale, so on bad sale weeks I can just buy fruit and meat each week! scg00387 at yahoo.com Thanks!
I save money by setting the AC higher in the summer and line-drying all my clothes.
I save money by recycling-I use fewer trashbags, fewer trips to the dump and by turning in my aluminum cans I get some pocket change! Plus the whole environmental thing!
I save money buy shopping at consignment shops. I sell my babies old clothes and other baby items he no longer uses and instead of getting money back I get credit (they usually give you more back if you are getting credit rather than cash) and then use that money to buy him new clothes and toys!

I try to turn off the lights when I leave the room. We had gotten into bad habits of having lights on all throughout the house.
I try to reuse everything at least once, plastic bags, meat trays, if I can find something to use instead of buying something to fit my need, I've saved money!

I save money by going to the library to utilize free books, movies, magazines, and events.
I use coupons and watch sale ads. Also love using codes to get free movies at Redbox.
Heres a tip that i do with my local book club,we exchange coupons every week and compare prices. sharing what people will not use and not have them just thrown away is a great tip to think about next time your hanging with friends and shopping.
jdean1986@gmail.com
I shop CVS and Walgreens for all of my health and beauty needs for just pennies!
I use coupons and I even find freebies online that I use coupons for as well. I am always looking for the sales too.

I save money by requesting samples from Wal Mart, Costco, and other places. Also, by hitting up the loss-leaders at Safeway and other stores. mikeldelrosario2 at gmail dot com
We use mega coupons, and cok everything from scratch. The less processed stuff you buy the more you save!
matthollycart@gmail.com
My money saving tip is to make more use of your library. We never pay to rent movies, video grames, and we rarely buy books. The library is a great resource (as long as you return your items on time) :)

I'm saving money as we speak by soaking and cooking, then freezing my own kidney beans. It's easy to do and saves us a couple of dollars each month.
I reuse my vacuum sealer bags. We buy the long rolls rather than the individual bags then cut them a little bigger than needed for whatever we are freezing to make sure we can get at least a couple of uses out of each bag (since everytime you cut off the top to open it, the bag gets a little smaller).
I linked to you on my blog!
I save money by trying to unplug extra appliances when they're not in use (tv, dvd player, computer, cell phone charger etc)

I'm vegetarian and my husband doesn't typically cook meat, not eating much meat definitely saves money on the grocery budget.
Thanks!
We canceled our cable and got a netflix subscription instead! It has been wonderful. The only thing I miss is sports!

We do whatever we can to save money ... coupons, loss leaders, stocking up on sales, making do without if possible.

Oh, we also check out blogs that have good money saving ideas :o)
When grocery shopping, start sampling the generic brands. I've found that most are as good, if not better than, the brand names.
We re-use everything and try to avoid disposable items (paper plates, paper towels, napkins, etc)

Besides using cloth diapers I also use cloth wipes. They can be washed along with the diapers and it saves a lot of money.
I am always using coupons but only buy what I will actually use. Also books come from yard sales and library sales after my mom has read them.
I save money by stocking up when favorite items are on sale, using the grocery ads to plan my shopping, visiting money-saving blogs for lots of tips, and printing coupons online.
I save money by shopping at bread/bakery outlets.
I shop as infrequently as possible, use coupons, and eat out of our cupboard.

Buy only when items are on sale and use coupons!
walk when you can...saves money on gas
We save money by searching for coupons, following money saving blogs, shopping at discount stores, and planning meals that feed a family of 6 with leftovers for lunch.
4heartbeats@gmail.com
Don't shop when you are hungry. I find I end up with food that I wouldn't normally buy if I hadn't been couponing while hungry.
Our big money saver is for me *not* to go grocery shopping. My hubby goes alone, and he is much better at following a list than I am. He also visits two stores: Aldi's & then Sunfresh. Whatever we can't get for super cheap at Aldi's we buy at Sunfresh. We consistently spend less than $75 a week for 2 people and 3 cats.

We use Freecycle & Craigslist. We've gotten a lot of great kids toys cheap or free. That's a great giveaway that you're having. Thanks. dramaqueensmum@gmail.com
I use cloth diapers for my babies! I also like to check out coupons in the paper and online. We go to the splash parks around here for free "wet" fun for the kids, and also hit the movie theater on We. or Thurs. mornings for a free movie.(and still get to give the kids the theater experience!!)
Thanks for the offer!
